Good teamwork with Siemens

Siemens have delivered the drive controllers to our new Hardline M modular induction hardening machines, helping to make the resource- and energy-efficient hardening process lean and green.

Electric cars

EFD Induction aims to be in the driver's seat when it comes to electrification of the automotive industry. Our newest film shows just how much induction technology can contribute to a future of carbon-free driving.

Fighting climate change

With the COP26 underway, the world is at a most decisive moment of climate action. Although EFD Induction work to provide heat, we are also dedicated to keeping the 1.5-degree goal within reach.

To combat global warming, we suggest a lot more intense heat

Solar panels. Giant wind turbines. Electric cars, buses and trains. Amid the alarming newspaper headlines it’s easy to forget that technology is actually fighting back against global warming. A crucial weapon in that fight is induction heating.

The benefits of induction brazing

Quality, speed, precision and safety, as well as cost and energy savings, are only a few of the numerous advantages of using eco-friendly induction heating for brazing jobs.

Extremely fast induction preheating

A world-leading automotive supplier has bought a Sinac induction heating system for steel pump housing production. Less than a second of heating does the job.

The world’s fastest and most flexible horizontal hardening machine

The HardLine Hybrid combines a pusher machine (HP) and a continuous loading machine (HC) into one single machine.

Preheating saves lives

Testing airbag inflators by preheating them guarantees the stability of this high-pressure safety device.

induction scanning systems for the hardening of sun gears

EFD Induction USA has recently won major orders from two American tier-one automotive suppliers. The orders involve EFD Induction ‘HardLine’ type induction scanning systems for the hardening of sun gears and output shafts.

Differences between scanning and single-shot induction hardening.

There are two alternative methods of induction hardening: conventional ‘scanning hardening’, and the less common ‘single-shot hardening’. It is sometimes the case that workpiece characteristics determine which method must be used .

Induction hardening system for valve specialist Basso

Argentina-based automotive valve manufacturer Basso A.S. has ordered a vertical hardening system from EFD Induction.

EFD Induction lands major hardening orders from ZF

A major technology shift towards electric motor steering systems are key factors behind a series of major orders from ZF.

State-of-the-art Sinac for state-of-the-art Eibach

The next time you watch a Formula One race on TV, you can be sure that most of the cars on the track are equipped with suspension springs from Eibach.

Induction heating for brazing of high-grade banjo fittings

An EFD Induction brazing solution at diesel engine specialist Agco Sisu Power slashes production times for high-grade banjo fittings.

Finishing in style

What do more and more leading auto makers (including BMW, Audi and Volvo) have in common? They’ve all selected EFD Induction to heat treat brake discs against corrosion.

Unwrap the benefits of package hardening

EFD Induction is the world’s no.1 induction hardening company. That’s good news for us. But what’s more important is why?

Hägglunds Drives on the road to faster production

A new EFD Induction solution has helped Hägglunds Drives slash hardening cycle times by 85% for large cam rings, and 45% for smaller rings.

Induction heating for hardening of crankshafts

When the world’s largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment decides to invest in production upgrades, you can be sure it chooses the best solutions on offer. John Deere selected a crankshaft hardening system from EFD Induction.

Earthmowing experience

Caterpillar, Komatsu, JCB, John Deere, Poclain, Clark—they all have two things in common.

Induction heating: Surface hardening of dies

It’s a well-known fact that all dies used in the automotive industry have to be hardened. It’s also well known that traditional gas heating is slow, difficult and inefficient. But there is another way.

Building bonds with Jaguar

As one of the world’s most quality-conscious carmakers, few are as choosy about their partners as Jaguar.

In-line induction heating solutions for surface hardening of shafts

One of the most powerful arguments in favor of in-line heat treatment is that it gives you complete control over all stages of production.

Mølbro opted for EFD Induction solution

The system—installed at the production plant of Mølbro A/S in Broby, west of Copenhagen—is being used to forge plowshares.

Hybrid horizontal hardening at Thermprocess

At the ongoing THERMPROCESS trade fair in Düsseldorf, EFD Induction are presenting their HardLine Hybrid – the world’s fastest and most flexible horizontal hardening machine.

Industry 4.0 has never been hotter

Induction heating plays a vital role in the emerging connected industrial landscape. Concentrated and controllable heat simplifies the manufacturing process. Remote services are also underway to collect data for analysis, improve spare parts handling and minimize the need for inspection travels.

The New Generation Sinac - Digital to the core

EFD Induction is proud to present the New Generation Sinac with a fully digital control system that is prepared for Industry 4.0. Predictive data and insights will enable reduced use of energy and lower operation costs allowing for a sustainable and profitable production.

Zero emissions. And it has nothing to do with the battery.

The automotive industry is going through a paradigm shift. New powertrains and materials drive the change towards products designed for a circular economy. As induction heating is far more energy-efficient and eco-friendly than other heating alternatives, the technology is growing in importance.
