Cable Heating

Cable is strands of wire or fibers formed into a rope-like, continuous length that has multiple uses in modern society. Extraordinary insulation and conductivity are required for communication cables laid on the ocean floor. Extraordinary strength is crucial to the cables supporting a suspension bridge.

Cable Heating Induction Coil

Wire cable is most rapidly and economically produced by induction cable heating equipment. Heat is produced in induction devices through the interplay between electricity and magnetism. The flow of alternating current through the coil produces the varying magnetic field necessary for heating of a workpiece.

The all-important induction coil can be formed and sized according to the purpose of the final product. Coils for wire and cable heating could consist of tiny coils of copper tubing for use in soldering small electronic parts, or very large coil formations of copper tubing used in pipe heating. Custom-designed coils utilize the precise heating inherent in any induction process.

Coaxial and Fiber-Optic Cable

Cable was vital to the development of modern communications. Coaxial cable is used in cable television, and in the operation of transmitters, receivers, and other high frequency devices. The technology of fiber-optic cable, realized in the 1970s, permits the transmission of light through thin, flexible fibers of glass, plastic, or other transparent material. Bundles of fibers are capable of transmitting complete images. Induction cable heating equipment is ideal for the efficient production of both types of cable.
