INDUCTION BRAZING EXAMPLE
Brazing Flat Copper Wires
The joints of stacked, flat copper wires – like those often used in various types of electrical machine manufacturing – are easy to braze with a handheld, coaxial transformer mounted on a pneumatic brazing pistol attached to the generator via a cable output of up to 15 meters long (49 ft).
The switch on the pistol actuates the plunger as the operator brazes the first joint. A pre-set power value entered into the induction power supply’s touch screen assures braze quality and consistency as the operator moves from joint to joint.
Brazing flat copper wires for electric motors is complicated. Making a high-quality joint without damaging any insulation that has already been fitted can be a challenge. Braze flat wires repeatedly and precisely without operator fatigue or damage to adjacent insulation using an IDEA INDUCTION LLC medium frequency power supply fitted with a boom arm for support and balance, and a brazing pistol to hold the workpiece specific induction coil.
High speeds used in the induction brazing process reduce the amount of heat normally transferred to the insulated area, and the boom arm reduces the amount of weight the operator holds. Best of all, the reproducible process delivers consistent and high-quality brazed joints.
We recommend using a medium frequency, induction power supply for strand brazing performance and flexibility. Induction heating systems are available in 15 kW to 30 kW configurations. Mobile systems complete with casters and crane hooks are standard. A wide variety of tools, including inductors, brazing pistols and auxiliary devices are available.
The simple touch screen makes operation uncomplicated. Additional features include:
Our support doesn’t stop with recommending the power supply. We also design and custom manufacture all our induction heating coils for each specific application and will work with you to optimize your production process. In addition, we offer operator and maintenance training to make sure your operation continues to run smoothly.
Braze more precisely and safely using an IDEA INDUCTION LLC brazing pistol. This type of pneumatic tool grips the workpiece and holds the induction coil during the brazing process.
Flexible boom arms support the weight of the pistol, the induction coil and the coaxial cables, allowing operators to braze longer with less fatigue and reduces the risks of repetitive movement injuries.
