Induction heating tools use electromagnetic induction to generate heat in metal objects, allowing them to expand and be manipulated easily. These tools are commonly used in industrial settings for tasks such as shrink fitting, removing bearings, and loosening rusted bolts. By heating the target object without direct contact, induction heating reduces the risk of thermal damage to surrounding materials. These tools meet safety standards like ISO 10247 and SASO 2680, ensuring safe operation even under high temperatures. Induction heating is faster and more efficient than traditional heating methods, making it a popular choice in manufacturing, automotive, and maintenance industries.
Key Features:
- Quick and Efficient Heating: Induces heat in the target metal for faster results.
- No Direct Contact: Reduces risk of damage to surrounding materials.
- Energy Efficient: Uses electromagnetic induction, which is more energy-efficient than other heating methods.
- Safety Features: Designed to meet ISO 10247 and SASO 2680 standards.
Types and Standards:
- Portable Induction Heaters: Compact models for on-site use.
- Industrial Induction Heaters: Larger units for factory or workshop settings.
- **ISO 10247, SASO 2680: Safety standards for induction heating equipment.
Brands Available:
