Commissioning for a reliable induction process
An induction installation only performs optimally when the generator, outdoor circuit, induction coil, cooling, pyrometry, process settings, and user knowledge are properly aligned.

The Question
Not just connecting, but starting up with reliable processes.
With induction heating, the combination of technology and process knowledge determines the final result. Incorrect coil spacing, insufficient cooling water flow rate, erroneous temperature measurement, or unclear operation can lead to power loss, malfunctions, or varying product quality.
The Question
Technical inspection
We inspect the generator, outer circuit, water cooling, HF cables, coil load, safety, and measuring equipment before the process is loaded.
Process adjustment
We optimize power, frequency, warm-up time,
coil position, temperature window,
cycle time, and reproducibility.

cycle time, and reproducibility.
Validation
Using real workpieces, we check the
thermal image, process stability,
operation, and transfer to production.

operation, and transfer to production.
Approach
Preparation
Application data, workpiece, target temperature, cooling, and installation structure.
Check
Generator, coil, outer circuit, cables, flow, pressure, and safety.
Start-up
Start at low power, build up parameters, and assess process response.
Training
Instruct users on operation, error messages, and process boundaries.
Handover
Record practical settings, points of attention, and follow-up advice.
Procedure
Training & Knowledge Transfer
Users must understand what is happening.
A reliable installation requires people who understand the basics of induction heating, temperature measurement, and process limits. Therefore, we include user training and theoretical knowledge transfer in the commissioning.
Operators
Operation, recipe selection, start/stop, error messages, safety, and daily checks.
Technical Service
Cooling, flow, connections, coil load, maintenance, and fault analysis.
Process Engineering
Influence of frequency, power, coil spacing, product geometry, and cycle time.
Temperature Measurement
Pyrometer position, emission, measuring surface, thermocouples, and closed-loop control.
Training to understand
Practical examples

Frequently Asked Questions
Induction heating commissioning: practical questions
What is included in commissioning?
Inspection of the installation, generator start-up and cooling, adjustment of coil and workpiece, setting of process parameters, temperature measurement, testing with real products, and instruction of users.
Is user training included?
Yes, where desired, we provide practical training for operators, technical service staff, and process managers. In doing so, we combine operation with the transfer of theoretical knowledge regarding induction heating.
Can you also readjust an existing installation?
Yes. In the event of product changes, new coils, process problems, or downtime, we can assess an existing induction installation, readjust it, and advise on practical improvements.
Is a process test required beforehand?
Not always. However, for critical products, short cycle times, or unknown material properties, a process test is strongly recommended before the installation is permanently configured.
