Inductive heating for the forging process

SFL-B | SMART FORGING LINE BILLET

Why are special systems necessary?

Very often components have to be completely heated in order to be subsequently forged. The special feature here is that the entire component cannot normally be gripped by grippers. Therefore, these are individual systems whose design type is directly coupled with the component geometry.

Induction generators are also used here, whereby the inductors are typically equipped with guide rods. These guide rods are water-cooled to increase their service life. The components are then pushed through the induction coil with manipulators. The power range of these generators is from 50 kW to 1 MW depending on the application. The frequency range is also adapted to the geometry to be heated.

Typical applications are the forging of bolts and nuts from rod material, the manufacture of ploughshares and all types of fastening materials.
