Insert Heating
Why Magneforce Induction Insert Heating
Guaranteed Results
We guarantee that the heating of your inserts will be as specified and will be repeatable. No system will be shipped until it meets your requirements.
Heating Heads Custom Made For Your Process
We design & manufacture custom heating heads to fit your part and process. The heating elements are typically enclosed in phenolic housings to prevent mechanical damage and to easily mount in position in your setup.
Fast, Repeatable Heating
4 position in line
insert heating head
Evenly heat up to 6 inserts at once. The hole layout in the heating head is CNC milled to exactly match the insert spacing of you part. Locating holes can be specified for precise
location of the head.
Heat Inserts as quickly as 1 second each. Precise
heat control insures consistent heating cycle to cycle.
Heat Up To 6 Inserts
Quiet Operation, No Loud Noise
5 position offset
insert heating head
Heating is quiet. There is no loud ultrasonic noise to put up with.
Non-Contact Heating
The heating head does not contact the insert. There is no resistance electrode or ultrasonic horn that needs to wear out or require adjustment.
Control With Your PLC
Heating on/off, time & power level can be controlled from your PLC. A DC voltage signal from the induction heater to to PLC can be used to verify heating.
Made In The USA
All Magneforce induction heating systems for insert heating are manufactured at our facility in Warren, Ohio.
Air Cooled Induction Heaters
Our Magne AC3 induction heaters do not require any water cooling, eliminating possible problems of water leakage and the need for coolant recirculators.
With heating times as low as 2 seconds per insert and duty cycle up to 50%
Plug In Heating Heads
Heating heads for the Magne AC3 heaters plug into the power supply and can be changed in seconds. The heads are small, lightweight and easily fixtured. Up to 2 inserts can be heated from 1.75" to 36"between inserts.

Water Cooled Induction Heaters
Magneforce Heat Station 2500R2 & 5000R2 induction heaters can heat up to 6 inserts in almost any configuration. Duty Cycle is greater 80% and heating times to 600F as low as 1 Second.
​
The heating element can be located up to 6' away from the
induction heater for ease of fixturing.

Threaded inserts are widely used for pressing or heat staking into injection molded and 3D printed plastic parts to provide high strength screw threads. One of the best methods for installing threaded metal inserts is to preheat them so that when they are pressed into the part the plastic is melted and flows around knurls built into the insert. This firmly holds the insert in place with high torque handling capability. Induction heating is often used as the method of choice for heating inserts prior to presssing into the part.
Magneforce Heat Station and Magne AC3 heaters are often used as a primary component of custom built manual, semi-automatic and automatic assembly equipment for industrial processes. They provide rapid, non-contact heating of brass and steel threaded inserts. Heating is reliable and consistent from part to part, insuring quality, repeatable insertion. There is no hot tip or horn to wear out. Only the insert heats up, the heating element stays cool. The heaters are easily controlled by your PLC and provide a DC output signal to verify proper heating for every cycle.
