This induction heater is capable of heating metals to over 1500 degrees F. It can be used in the processing of gas discharge tubes often used for plasma, neon displays, laser discharge tubes, spectrum tubes, etc. Output power of the heating element is approximately 150W with an operating frequency of about 50kHz, and is intended for intermittent use of up to about 30 seconds heating at a time. This unit is not intended for high-volume industrial production, as the MOSFETs will overheat under extended use. (Users may choose to experiment with oversized heatsinks and active cooling of the MOSFETs, but this is not recommended and not covered by our warranty.)
Several different-sized heads are available for use with the IND50:
HEAD12 - 1/2" Insertion Hole (1-1/2" outer diameter) for Glass up to 10mm
**HEAD58 - 5/8" Insertion Hole (1-1/2" outer diameter) for Glass 10-13mm
HEAD34 - 3/4" Insertion Hole (1-1/2" outer diameter) for Glass 13-17mm
HEAD78 - 7/8" Insertion Hole (1-3/4" outer diameter) for Glass 17-21mm
HEAD100 - 1" Insertion Hole (1-7/8" outer diameter) for Glass 21-25mm
