Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method for joining electrically conductive components (or components fitted with a susceptor) using inductive heating. The invention uses an inductor to generate a magnetic alternating field directly at the joint, not only heating but also pressing the components together with a specific pressure. Additionally, the inductor acts as a cooling instrument by dissipating excess heat from the component surfaces.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Assembly of electronic components where precise and clean joints are required
  • Manufacturing of metal parts or composite structures in automotive or aerospace industries
  • Production processes where rapid and localized heating for joining is beneficial
  • Joining parts with difficult-to-weld materials or sensitive to traditional welding heat
  • Automation in assembly lines for electrical or metallic products

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Combines heating and pressing in a single tool, simplifying the process
  • Enables precise control over joint pressure and temperature, improving joint quality
  • Reduces risk of overheating sensitive components by enabling localized cooling through the inductor
  • Can be applied to a wide variety of conductive materials, including those difficult to join by conventional welding
  • Improves energy efficiency compared to traditional joining methods

Patent Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum induktiven Kontaktfügen von elektrisch leitfähigen Bauteilen oder Bauteilen mit Suszeptor, bei dem zum Erhitzen der Bauteile ein mit einem Induktor erzeugtes magnetisches Wechselfeld in einen zu fügenden Bereich der Bauteile appliziert wird, wobei der Induktor auf die Bauteile aufgesetzt wird und dabei die Bauteile mit einer vorgegebenen Druckkraft des Induktors beaufschlagt werden, um die Bauteile zu fügen. Vorteilhafterweise wird der Induktor selbst als Druck ausübendes Werkzeug eingesetzt, wobei die Bauteiloberfläche durch Wärmeableitung über den Induktor gekühlt wird.
