Rapid-Torc® IBHINducTIoN BolT HEATING
Advanced Bolt HeatingRapid-Torc engineers saw an opportunity to greatly reduce wasted downtime. WIth costs for downtime quickly esca-lating, there had to be a way to work fast, safe and efficiently. Rapid-Torc IBH is the answer.
self-contained water chiller allows for easy one plug setup. External water level indicator shows water level.
One self-contained inductor(water-cooled and has the smallest transformer available built-in)
Self-contained unit with built in water chiller( no separate units)
One simple plug to connect( no water line requirements)
TECHNOLOGY THAT WORKS, NOT 'IN THEORY' NOT 'EXPERIMENTALLY' , BUT ON THE FIELD WHERE IT COUNTS.

Rapid-Torc® IBH does not generate heat, as the case with electric, gas and radiant heating technologies. It uses induction heating, causing the bolt to heat itself. Induction heating occurs when a material capable of conducting electrical current, not necessarily ferrous or magnetic, is placed in a varying magnetic field. The material becomes heated as a result of hysteresis and eddy current losses. Hysteresis occurs with magnetic materials and is pro-duced by retardation of the magnetization effect caused by the friction of the molecules, when the material is magnetized in one direction, then reversed at a very high frequency.

speedorange technicians choose the best inductor size for the bolt, and especially look for the optimal heat-ing length to work as fast and safe as possible.
Rapid-Torc® has the widest range of inductor sizes available and will even build a custom size for the applica-
optimal heating length
Rapid-Torc® IBH controlled heating method heats only the center of stud and it minimizes heat transfer to the surrounding metal. In a short period of time, the stud is heated properly and assembly/disassembly can begin.
Induction heating does the rest
once on the field, the technicians ensure the right inductor is chosen.
The ideal inductor will target the op-timal heating length; this allows the electromagnetic field to work on the core of the stud and minimize heat transfer to other critical components.
