Induction Technology Corporation (ITC) - a leading manufacturer of induction melting solutions with over 40 years of experience in the industry and part of UltraFlex Power Group since June 2019 - recently demonstrated one of the largest, customer-specific induction melting coils in the industry.
ITC has a special Application Engineering team responsible for researching and understanding the specific needs of the customer. The team designs and manufactures the induction coil that would meet the requirements of the specific application and selects an induction power supply with parameters most appropriate for the customer case.
The coil's designing and manufacturing process starts with choosing the best material for the inductor. In most cases copper is used because of its superb conductivity. The copper tubing is annealed, so it could be softened and prepared for winding on the mandrel. Flattening the tubing using special equipment is then performed, so coil efficiency could be increased and coupling to the charge material could be achieved. The copper tubing is then wound on the mandrel to achieve the desired cylindrical shape. Brazing the fasteners, water taps, lead terminals and other coil components is then performed, followed by mounting the supports and thorough testing of the assembled coil.
The testing is an extensive step performed by UltraFlex engineering team, ensuring that the coil tubing and fittings are brazed and sealed properly and verifying that there are no weaknesses or breakdowns in the coil isolation.
The coil manufacturing process is completed by applying a special paint serving as an electrical insulator or extra treatment such as applying high-dielectric coatings and temperature resistive wrapping.
The engineering process for a large induction coil involves careful research and design based on the specific customer needs, followed by a complex manufacturing process. However, it allows UltraFlex to offer custom induction heating and induction melting solutions to any customer, regardless of the specifics of their induction heating needs.

Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
