Many metals require heating and/or heat treating
to achieve their optimum physical properties.
Our focus is to lead the market in quality
heating and heat treating equipment
by providing flexible and innovative
systems for long-life performance.
Advances in our technology include
new standardized modular heat treating
equipment such as, the InductoScan®
system with PC HMI/PLC program
storage and touch screen controls.
InductoScan® heat treating
equipment gives you the
most flexible heat treating
solution for today's needs,
and as tomorrow's business
changes, our standardized
modules can be reconfigured
to match your future
production needs.
Modular machines mean
they can perform various
heat treating applications,
such as; scan, single-shot, lift/rotate,
pick & place, rotary index and linear transfer.
Since 1972, Inductoheat has continued
to develop the design and manufacture
of field proven power supplies. By providing
efficient, controlled and accurately focused

• Gear hardening • Forging • Low-frequency heating • Shrink fitting • Strip heating • Dual frequency
Inductoheat's new InductoForge™ modular billet heating system
is a revolutionary product for the forging industry.
Inductoheat manufactures heating equipment
for an array of applications for the electric
motor industry.
The flexible modular design allows the forge shop to assemble
an induction system that exactly matches its application
requirements by allowing the addition or subtraction of
power modules for future production needs.
Our experienced engineers design custom
units for varnish and epoxy curing,
lamination preheat for die casting and
bluing, wire stripping, bond breaking,
shaft shrink fit, bearing hardener,
motor frame disassembly and more.
Inductoheat’s uses (Heat Affected Zone technology)
HAZ Control Technology™ to accurately control and
automatically set-up a heating profile for the
InductoForge™ billet heater to provide
uniformly heated billets.
A NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCED IN 2006
is the ROSS line frequency systems.
These systems offer interchangeable
tooling packages that use 60Hz
to heat stators, rotors, housings,
armatures, gears, bearings,
small crankshafts, DC armatures,
vibration dampers, tube, pipe
and more.
™
The InductoForge™ system uses 500kW power
modules that are capable of running at a wide
range of frequencies (500Hz to 6000Hz).
Heavy-duty twin chain
tractor in-feed drive
• Rapid start
• Heavy duty design
• Standby hold circuitry
• HAZ Control Technology™
Each module is individually controlled resulting in a
much finer and more accurate control of the billet temperature.
In addition, this advanced technology allows for efficient heating
over a wide range of billet diameters using a single size heavy-duty coil.
This unit is ideal for high volume
production or rapid prototype work.
Lower your manufacturing costs by utilizing
a fraction of the floor space and energy.
A significant advantage of this innovative technology is reduced energy, utility
and operating costs, ultimately increasing your productivity and profitability.

Inductoheat, along with it’s sister company Thermatool,
offer a variety of induction heating systems for the pipe
and tube industry. While Thermatool focuses on the tube
and pipe producers, Inductoheat offers induction
equipment for a variety of finishing applications.
When forming or swaging tube or pipe,
the annealing and/or stress relieving processes
enhance your product properties by removing the
residual stresses associated with these processes.
Induction tube annealing equipment ranges from
standalone units that anneal small tube sections,
to system designed for integration into existing lines.
For copper producers a variety of feeder systems
for the annealing process are available, including
basket to basket, basket to layer-wound pack or
cut length bundle, and capillary tube spool to spool.
Retrofit portions of high speed in-line annealing
systems for copper tubing are energy efficient
and are designed for operation in an inert gas.
For 8’ or shorter lengths of tube,Inductoheat offers
quench and temper lines for automotive, oil and
gas, and special applications.
