Distinguishing features

The distinguishing feature of the IH 025 VOLCANO induction heater is the
fact that the workpiece can only be placed on the cone-shaped workpiece
support for heating. The energy transfer is contact-free, and is generated
via the medium-frequency coil situated below. The cone-shaped workpiece
support creates an optimal magnetic field distribution in the rings of the
roller bearing, thereby ensuring that heat is distributed homogenously. This
design improves efficiency, resulting in lower power consumption and faster
heating, which significantly reduces the costs of heating the bearings. This
special technology allows the device to be very light weight and portable.
In addition, the device is fitted with predictive temperature control (PTC). For
every heating process, the temperature increase curve of the workpiece/
roller bearing is measured constantly, thereby optimising the heating perfor-
mance. This ensures that the target temperature is achieved quickly without
overheating the roller bearing.

2. Description

The operation of the heater is controlled by the internal electronics in two
modes. The operator can either select the desired temperature in TEMP
MODE or set the length of time for heating in TIME MODE. The power level
can be adjusted in steps of 10% for slow heating of sensitive workpieces (for
example, bearings with C1 or C2 clearance).

Components

The simatherm IH 025 VOLCANO induction heater is comprised of a
portable housing with integrated operating electronics and cone-shaped
workpiece support. A temperature probe can be attached for measuring and
monitoring the temperature of the workpiece. The mains cable is enclosed
separately, as are protective gloves for safe handling of hot workpieces. All
of the equipment can be stored in a practical carrying case.
