Note: Brass Inserts
Objective:
To heat a brass insert, measuring 1/2" OD and 1 1/4" long, to a temperature of 550 °F for insertion into a plastic part. Heating is to be accomplished within 5 seconds, and can be done in a helical coil since pick-and-place manufacturing is employed.
End Product:
Brass insert
Equipment:
Ambrell 3 kW system including one (1) remote heat station containing one 1.0 µF capacitor, and a four-turn helical coil made from 3/16" copper tubing and measuring 7/8" long with a 5/8" ID.
Materials:
Brass insert measuring 1/2" OD and 1 1/4" long.
Temperature:
550 °F
Frequency:
422 kHz
Testing:
550 °F was reached in 2.5 seconds, surpassing the customers requirement of 5 seconds. An even heating pattern on the insert was observed as a result of the four-turn helical coil.
