Induction Heating Machine (IHM) is a crucial device in the jewelry industry, utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat and join precious metals. This research focuses on developing a Dual Coil Induction Heating Machine (Dual Coil IHM) to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs in jewelry factories using Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA) through Ansys Maxwell software.
- Research Process: Began with testing a single-coil IHM under real operating conditions and using EMA to analyze the generated magnetic flux density (B).
- Design Comparison: Dual-coil configurations in Parallel and Series arrangements were designed and compared.
- Experimental Results: The series dual coil produced a higher magnetic flux and allowed for optimizing current (I), frequency (f), number of coil turns (N), and coil spacing (d).
- Conclusion: The series dual-coil IHM can double production capacity compared to the conventional model. EMA technology minimizes physical testing, reduces errors, and enhances precision in industrial machinery design.
