The heater and yokes remain cool; only the work piece is heated. During the induction heating cycle, a certain degree of magnetism occurs. All Timken heaters demagnetize automatically after each heating cycle.

Proper mounting may lengthen the life span of your equipment, and controlled induction heating helps to prevent unnecessary damage.

Digital electronics provide optimum control during the heating process and automatically select the most efficient power supply to help ensure balanced and fast heating.
