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? ## 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 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 The solder formed a relatively uniform domed seal around the fiber despite the asymmetry of the open C coil. It took under 10 seconds to heat the part to soldering temperature Hermetic Sealing a Ferrule & Fiber Optic Cable To heat a Kovar ferrule and fiber optic cable to 297 °F within 10 seconds for a soldering application, to form a hermetic seal Solder Fiber Optic Cable to Ferrule & Preform Induction heating provides rapid localized heat only where needed, repeatable, consistent results with clean, controllable joints Hermetically sealing a fiber optic cable in a kovar ferrule Induction heating provides instant start up time, requiring very little power resources, pin point accuracy, a clean source of heat which is easily integrated into existing automated systems Soldering fabric to kovar tip assembly A three turn pancake coil is used to heat the tip of the cone to 300 °F (149 °C) in 2-3 seconds soldering-a-kovar-piece-with-glass-to-a-copper-base Induction heating provides ability to use same equipment for both assembly and repair, hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing, and uniform control of heat from part to part Soldering Ferrule and Module Assembly To heat ferrule and module assemblies for a soldering application in the fiber optics industry.
