This article initially was published in Industrial Heating Aerospace manufacturers rely heavily on the autoclave to ensure that their products meet porosity goals. For large parts of thermoplastics (like skins, spars, and integrated structures), this has always been the best way to achieve the compaction and consolidation pressure required, to drive out any volatiles. However, […]
Time by time our customers do validation research to match the simulation results with the actual hardening profile. One recent validation project was done by Elotherm – a German induction heating, hardening, and welding company which is part of the SMS group. With approximately 480 employees, Elotherm, IAS and Tech Induction serves customers internationally at […]
Originally posted on LinkedIn Increasing competition pushes engineering companies to advance the efficiency of design and engineering by means of digital transformation. Over the last decades, we have been observing the winning march of computer-aided design (CAD) programs, which are nowadays the market standard even for small workshops. Now, it’s the time for software that […]
Power control is the most widely used induction heating process control available. Power supply manufacturers offer different types of control such as current, voltage or even frequency control, but the power control remains the most popular one. Process engineers who are overseeing the heating very often do not even know the actual current or voltage […]
Since the inception of CENOS (Connecting Engineering Open-Source), we’ve always strived to give back to the academic community which has played a tremendous part in the development of open-source algorithms and also CENOS software. In fact, some of our team members are lecturers, mentors and some are interns that are still studying physics & mathematics. […]
The most common issues with inductors Many induction coils are low maintenance, particularly the coils that are used on lower power densities and those without magnetic flux concentrators. If any leaks develop, the coils should be removed from production, cleaned, and repaired. In the worst-case – replaced. Let’s look at some of the most common […]
Rolling bearings, including sealed or greased bearings, are heated with the induction for the purposes of easier mounting on the shaft. So-called hot mounting of the ball-bearings is done with special devices – portable induction heaters. These devices are using specially designed induction coils, to ensure bearings are safely and efficiently heated to the optimum […]
Recently, one of our sales leads asked us to validate an induction hardening case by comparing the results of simulation versus real life, so their procurement team can make fact-based decisions. We decided to write an article based on this case to demonstrate the correlation between induction simulation and actual results. The process – induction […]
Electrical systems that carry high currents, especially in industrial setups, depend on components like bus bars to distribute power efficiently and safely. However, the performance of these systems is influenced by the interactions between electric currents and magnetic fields, which can lead to significant challenges in the design and operation of bus bar assemblies. The […]
Short circuits in electrical systems can result in significant damage to infrastructure if not analyzed and mitigated correctly. One crucial phenomenon engineers must account for is the Lorentz force in busbars, particularly during a short-circuit event. This article delves into the simulation results of a 3-phase busbar under a short-circuit condition, which was analyzed using […]
