Our applications laboratory has considerable experience with a variety of soldering applications and would be happy to review your fiber optics soldering application.  Induction generates an electromagnetic field in a work coil that induces currents in the conductive material of a workpiece placed within or near the coil. Friction from these currents elevates the temperature of the materials to be soldered. [Can we help?](https://www.ambrell.com/contact-us-request-process?lead_origin=fiber%20optics%20sealing&linked_from=Fiber%20Optics%20Sealing%20[EN]&appnote_title=none) ## Benefits of Fiber Optics Sealing  with Induction Induction meets tight production tolerances delivering precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy. The process increases production rates with faster heating cycles, reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat and eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift. * * * ## fiber optics sealing Resources ##### Select an option below: - Application Notes - Featured Video - Other Resources - #### Melting [Melting Glass for Fiber Drawing](/induction-heating-applications/appnote-request?lead_origin=melting&appnote_filename=melting-glass-for-fiber-drawing&appnote_title=Melting%20Glass%20for%20Fiber%20Drawing&meta_desc=To%20heat%20a%20metal%20susceptor%20vessel%20to%202200%20°F%20within%2025%20minutes%20with%20induction%20for%20a%20fiberglass%20melting%20application&row_id=192891279211&table_id=125276735) To heat a metal susceptor vessel to 2200 °F within 25 minutes with induction for a fiberglass melting application - #### Soldering [Heating a Kovar Ferrule for Glass Soldering](/induction-heating-applications/appnote-request?lead_origin=soldering&appnote_filename=heating-a-kovar-ferrule-for-glass-soldering&appnote_title=Heating%20a%20Kovar%20Ferrule%20for%20Glass%20Soldering&meta_desc=The%20solder%20formed%20a%20relatively%20uniform%20domed%20seal%20around%20the%20fiber%20despite%20the%20asymmetry%20of%20the%20open%20C%20coil.%20It%20took%20under%2010%20seconds%20to%20heat%20the%20part%20to%20soldering%20temperature&row_id=192891279448&table_id=125371545) The solder formed a relatively uniform domed seal around the fiber despite the asymmetry of the open C coil.
