Precision Induction Heating for Automotives
Protective coatings are generally utilized on automotive brake rotors to reduce rust and corrosion, and thus provide a robust and aesthetic look.
After the coatings are applied, they are usually cured or dried in an oven. Nonetheless, significant amount of time and energy can be saved by employing induction heating for rotor finishing applications.
Induction Heating
Induction heating produces the heat from within the rotor, enhancing the quality of the finished coating by curing from the metal coating interface allowing for any outgassing during the curing process.
The concentrated and flame-less energy not only conserves the time and energy used in ramping up an oven but also conserves the ambient heat surrounding the component.
Cure for Brake Rotor Coatings
Induction heating can be employed for chromium-free and water-based cadmium coatings. It steadily generates a quality cure of specialty coatings by utilizing a special coil and power supply to deliver uniform and accurate temperature across the rotor.
The heating process will not affect or change the coating during the elevated temperatures on the rotor during the braking process.
Multipurpose induction heating systems offered can be configured for the curing cycles at 575-600°F and pre-cure at 150-250°F for different sizes of brake rotors.
Easy Integration
Induction heating offers a number of benefits in the curing process of coatings.Yolike has deployed more than 10,000 induction heating systems for different types of applications across the globe.
The company designs customized systems that help improve production time and save significant energy costs.
Yolike provides multi-level service to manufacturers of brake rotors that ranges from system design and implementation to support after installation.
Advantages of Induction Heating Systems
Induction heating systems provide a flameless concentrated heat energy, thus making it safe and effective.
They provide the right temperature across the rotor with each rotor having the same cure process. Coils of the system can be configured to any rotor size.
Since furnace ramp up is not required, considerable amount of energy can be saved. In addition, faster part throughput also helps in saving production time. The system can easily be incorporated into existing production lines.
