How to choose an induction heating machine?
Factors that you should consider.
With the continuous development of industrial production today, induction heating equipment has become the first choice of many companies with its high efficiency, energy-saving, and precise heating characteristics. However, facing the wide variety of induction heating equipment on the market, how should we choose the one that suits us? Zhengzhou Kechuang Electronics Co., Ltd. will explain it to you in detail.

1. The materials of the workpieces are different, and the reactions to induction heating are also different. For example, in metal materials, those with high melting points require relatively high-power equipment, while those with low melting points can choose equipment with low power; materials with low resistivity require high-power induction heating equipment, while those with high resistivity require relatively low power. When choosing equipment, our common materials such as steel, copper, and aluminum must be judged based on their physical properties. If your workpiece material is special, it is recommended that you communicate with our professional technical team to obtain more accurate advice.
2. The shape and size of the workpiece are important bases for choosing induction heating equipment. Large-sized workpieces, such as bars and solid materials, require equipment with relatively large power and low frequency to ensure the uniformity and depth of heating; In contrast, for small-sized workpieces, such as pipes, plates, gears, etc., it is suitable to use equipment with low power and high frequency to avoid overheating or energy waste. For example, in the field of automotive parts manufacturing, large crankshafts require high-power induction heating equipment for overall heating. At the same time, small gears can use low-power high-frequency equipment for local heating.
3. The process requirements for heating are also one of the key factors in selecting induction heating equipment. If it is a process such as quenching and welding, you can choose equipment with low power and high frequency, which can ensure the heating accuracy and surface quality; for processes such as annealing and tempering, choose high power and low frequency to achieve better heat treatment effects. For processes such as red punching, hot forging, smelting, etc. that require good heat penetration, you should choose high power and low frequency.
Pay attention to the performance parameters of the induction heaters
1. Power is one of the core parameters of induction heating equipment, which directly determines the heating capacity of the equipment. If your production tasks are heavy and the workpiece heating time is short, then you need to choose equipment with bigger power, which can improve production efficiency. On the contrary, if the production tasks are light or the heating speed requirements are not high, you can choose equipment with moderate power to reduce costs. However, it should be noted that the greater the power, the better, because excessive power may cause problems such as overheating and deformation of the workpiece.
2. The selection of frequency is closely related to the size of the workpiece, the material properties and the required heating depth. The higher the frequency, the shallower the heating depth will be, which is more suitable for local heating of small and thin-walled parts; the lower the frequency, the deeper the heating depth will be, which is more suitable for overall heating of large and thick-walled parts.
3. Temperature control is the key to ensuring product quality. High-quality induction heating equipment should have a stable temperature control system that can monitor and control the heating temperature in real-time and has a wide temperature adjustment range and high precision. When choosing equipment, you can understand the brand and performance of key components such as temperature sensors and controllers used in the equipment, as well as whether the temperature control algorithm of the equipment is advanced.
Inspect the quality and reliability of the induction heating equipment
1. The structural design of the equipment must be reasonable. It should not only be easy to operate and maintain but also have excellent heat dissipation performance to ensure that the equipment can operate stably for a long time. The material of the equipment shell must have good protection ability, which can effectively prevent electromagnetic radiation and high temperatures from damaging the equipment. For key components such as internal electronic components and coils, products with reliable quality and stable performance should be selected to reduce the failure rate of the equipment.
2. Choosing a well-known brand and a reputable manufacturer can ensure the quality of the equipment and the quality of after-sales service. Zhengzhou Kechuang Electronics Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise in China that specializes in the R&D and production of induction heating equipment. It has rich production experience and a professional technical team. The products it produces are of reliable quality and have a perfect after-sales service system. We have always adhered to the customer-centric concept and provided customers with high-quality products and thoughtful services, thus winning the trust and praise of our customers.
3. The certifications and tests of the equipment are also important. You should carefully check whether the equipment has passed relevant certifications and tests, such as CE certification, ISO quality management system certification, etc. These certifications and tests are important supports for ensuring the quality of equipment and maintaining safety. Choosing the right induction heating equipment for you requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors.
