1.3 Distinguishing features
•
Remote control panel
To improve the ease of use and to diminish the risk of contact with the hot
bearing during operation, the TIH 030m heater is supplied with a remote control
panel which can be detached from the heater.
•
Inductive coil
When heated the workpiece is located at the same position on the core as the
inductive coil. This design improves eficiency, resulting in less power consumption
and faster heating, which reduce the cost to heat each bearing.
•
Folding bearing supports
To support large bearing positioned around the inductive coil the TIH 030m induction
heater is itted with folding bearing supports. See the illustrations at the beginning of
this manual.
•
Yoke storage
All three yokes can be stored inside the heater. Two yoke storage are located
behind the folding bearing supports. Storage of the small and medium yokes is
in the yoke storage at the heater circuit breaker side.
Storage of the large yoke is in the yoke storage at the heater mains cable side.
See the illustrations at the beginning of this manual.
2. Description
The operation of the heater is controlled by the internal electronics in either of two modes.
The operator can either select the desired temperature of the bearing in
TEMP MODE or set the length of time that the bearing will be heated in TIME MODE.
The power level can be adjusted to 100% or 50% for slower heating of sensitive workpieces
(for example, bearings with C1 or C2 clearance).
2.1 Components
The TIH 030m induction heater contains a U-shaped iron core with an inductive coil
surrounding one of the vertical supports. A detachable remote control panel is included.
The remote control electronics and the internal electronics control the operation of the
heater. A removable yoke on the top of the vertical supports allows the workpiece to be
placed onto the heater. To accommodate smaller workpieces, two smaller yokes are also
provided. A temperature probe is also included with the heater. Heat-resistant gloves are
also included.
