The Right Provider
Finding the right fit when choosing an induction heating systems provider is essential.
It’s important to understand the capabilities of your provider. There may be no need to pay the exorbitant prices offered by some induction companies! Systems can range in price from the least expensive foreign machines to equipment from large overpriced corporations.
Experienced induction heating professionals, not sales people, provide the best insight to the customer’s needs and are not just trying to make a sale.
The Right Equipment
Many of my competitors will try to sell their equipment to a prospective customer even if the fit isn’t right. The equipment must match closely what the application calls for. It should also be a fit for the customer’s knowledge and experience. The right equipment should offer the correct
- Frequency Range
- Program Capabilities
- Input Power
- High Efficiency
- Small Footprint
- External Control Options
- Great Warranty and Service
- Proper Induction Coil Design
- Training
- An Ongoing Relationship after the sale.
Some customers need to have someone provide an entire solution due to changing of heating methods or new products, or because they are not familiar with induction heating. The right provider can walk you through each step.
Other customers know what they need but should be offered a fresh look at their heating application when receiving a quote. Maybe there is potential for improvement that an experienced application engineer can point out.
Final Tips when looking for an Induction Heating Provider
Always contact a few different companies when looking to purchase. Get a feel for what they can offer and always ask to have your sample parts tested before making any decisions. Make sure the induction coil and the coil design, a major factor in the success of any induction project, is included in the quote.
These are some basics when looking to work with an induction heating provider.
