Energy Rating		A thickness of 0.25” (6.4 mm) will support an electro-magnetic field density of 40 kW/In2 ( 62 mW/M2)
Continuous Operating Temperature		600° F / (316° C) Maximum

 

 

Because the energy field is focused it allows several options:

1. Since more energy is going where it’s needed, the power settings can be reduced.
2. You could keep the power setting higher and decrease your cycle times.
3. It could allow larger parts to be produced on existing equipment.
4. It will reduce heating any tooling near the work area caused by the stray field.
5. You can achieve tighter heating patterns, especially with flanged parts.
