Induction Heating in Wire & Cable Industry
Induction heating is commonly used in wires, cable, and optical fiber manufacturing. Some common applications include soldering, preheating, and annealing. Another application of the induction heating for this industry is heating of a susceptor to melt special glass and draw optical fiber. Induction heating increases overall productivity, repeatability, and improves process efficiency.
