Work coils may be designed to heat wire, strip, tubes or solids. Whether heating steel for forging or designing hand held coils for battle damage repair of aircraft, Cheltenham Induction Heating Ltd is at the forefront of coil design technology.

For assembly work where the finished product is too large to pass through the work coil, a forked coil is used.

Solenoid type work coils are the most common and the most efficient.

Typical tool-tipping arrangement.

Twin solenoid coils may be used to process two components simultaneously. Three or more solenoid coils are often used in forging applications.

Tunnel coils are used with conveyors and linear transfer systems.

Where applications such as getter firing and out gassing are required, folded pancake coils are ideal.

Rotary indexing equipment can be fitted with shaped tunnel coils.

The coil shown above was manufactured for use in the nuclear industry and is one of four units mounted in a "hot box". In order to protect it from a harsh environment it has been gold plated.

Workheads

We manufacture a range of workheads covering all applications.

Workheads provide the interface between the induction heater and the work coil and can be bench or machine mounted, or hand/robot held. The workhead is connected to the induction heater via a non water cooled power cable that can be hundreds of metres long. With a change over switch, multiple workheads can be used with a single induction heater on a non-simultaneous basis.

If our standard product is not ideal, then we will produce a product specifically to satisfy our client’s requirements.
