Know how much power you are paying for
Many customers choose UltraFlex power supplies for their ability to perform at full power across a wide range of applications as well as for the services that UltraFlex provides.
Several low-cost induction power supply companies sell products with misleading names, numbers, and claimed power outputs. The actual heating-power output of these low-cost machines is often 5 to 10 times lower than the claimed power output. To illustrate the difference, we have analyzed the performance of UltraFlex power supplies versus those of a low-cost competitor, based on the published specifications of the machines.
See the comparisons below to see how UltraFlex outperforms its competitors, in terms of both machine performance and valuable service.
