Induction soldering

Induction soldering

Reasons to use high-frequency generators for induction soldering

• no contact is required between the processed material and the coil
• high power density and heating speed
• good control of metal temperature
• precise definition of heated zones
• simplicity of operation
• great flexibility of regulation
• efficiency
• good working conditions and minimal negative environmental impact

Compared with a gas burner, induction heating in soldering applications is an order of magnitude more economical. For example, generators with power up to 15kW are commonly used for brazing carbide tips, and they are very attractively priced even for small companies.

Advantages of fully transistor-based HFR generators for induction soldering

Using a fully solid-state HFR design (MOSFET and IGBT transistors) brings the following advantages:

• high efficiency - 90%
• theoretically unlimited service life - transistors do not age
• low cooling water consumption
• instant ramp-up to full power
• up to 1000x cheaper repairs in the event of a failure
• permanently stable operating parameters – ensuring production repeatability

HFR high-frequency generators for the induction soldering of small parts are designed to be portable.
