UltraFlex article on Robotic Induction Brazing featured in Industrial Heating digital magazine

RONKONKOMA, N.Y. - Jan. 27, 2020 - PRLog -- An extensive UltraFlex article on the benefits and specifics of using induction brazing in manufacturing has recently been featured in the December edition of Industrial Heating digital magazine. The article - authored by UltraFlex Product manager Nedelina Metodieva - is a great resource for those evaluating the replacement of flame-based brazing with induction-based one.

The article points out several key benefits of using induction for brazing - enhanced safety, high repeatability and time saving, hence costs optimization. In addition, being a contactless method of brazing, brazing with induction heating leaves the surfaces relatively clean, thus guaranteeing the high quality of the braze, with no contamination of the brazed surface.

Induction brazing is much more efficient compared to torch-based brazing. However, it is important to define the precise heating parameters, the author says. Those depend on the material and size of the object to be heated. The use of brazing alloys, fluxes and protective atmosphere must also be accounted for when considering the type of induction equipment and power supply to be used. This is where robotic automation comes at hand, dispensing the exact quantities of flux and alloy to be used and thus achieving high-quality, reliable joints.

Finally, the article concludes, precise temperature control is crucial for obtaining the best brazing results. Thanks to setting up a power profile in the induction heating equipment, the temperature can be precisely set and monitored during the entire brazing process.

This UltraFlex article is a great starting point for manufacturers looking to introduce automated induction brazing on the line. However, for a more precise evaluation of the induction heating parameters and equipment to be used, they can request a test application setup by UltraFlex engineers via the company's website: https://ultraflexpower.com/application-evaluation/
