HF Generator
H-100D HF Generator
[100kw output,10/100kHz switchable]
Induction heating using RF current is now widely utilized in industries for applications such as hardening/tempering/annealing of steel, forging, melting, brazing, etc. There are several types, including the vacuum tube type, transistor type and thyristor type, which are selected for the application according to their different characteristics.
Based on more than 50 years of experience and unrivalled expertise, NDK can meet any customer requirements in this area.
Principle
When the metallic workpiece is placed in a coil, an RF current is applied to the coil, and RF current is induced on the surface of the workpiece causing it to heat up. The heated portion is quenched by using coolant such as water to harden.
