Using induction for straightening
When welding steel and metal parts, unwanted deformations occur due to thermal stress. In workshop operations, it is crucial to remove these deformations quickly and efficiently in order to maintain manufacturing accuracy and high joint quality. Mobile induction heating offers a modern solution – targeted, safe, and fast heating of deformed areas without the use of open flames or mechanical force.
Straightening welded frames and structural components
Quick and targeted heating allows for the correction of deformations without the need for reworking or mechanical force.
Removing deformations on covers, panels, and sheets
Local heating with precise temperature control minimizes the risk of further warping or surface damage.
Correction of bent profiles after welding
Induction allows the original shape to be restored without dismantling the part and without disturbing the surrounding welds.
Precise alignment of assemblies
Ideal for finalizing parts directly on the assembly surface, without the need to move them to a specialized workplace.

Frequently asked questions about mobile induction straightening
Mobile induction heating is ideal for correcting thermal deformations caused by welding, such as bowing, waviness or twisting of metal parts.
Suitable for steel structures, profiles, frames, sheets, and other welded assemblies.
Induction heating is particularly suitable for ferromagnetic materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.
For non-ferromagnetic metals, such as aluminum and copper, specially configured systems with higher power are required.
Yes, induction technology is very safe. It does not use open flames, which significantly reduces the risk of fire or burns. There are also no pressure cylinders.
In addition, it allows for precise and controlled heating of only the necessary area.
In most cases, the return on investment is very quick thanks to savings in consumption and time, a reduction in the number of rejects, and a reduction in the need for repairs.
Operating costs are at least 10 times lower than using open flame.
The heating process is very fast. It depends on the size and thickness of the material, the type and size of the deformation, but corrections are usually made within a few seconds to minutes.
Compared to traditional straightening methods, induction is significantly more time-efficient.
Definitely, mobile induction heating is ideal not only for large production facilities, but also for smaller and medium-sized workshops.
Thanks to its simple handling and versatility, it pays off even with a small number of straightening operations.
No, mobile induction heating is designed to operate independently and immediately after being connected to the power supply.
You do not need any additional tools or preparations.
In most cases, yes. Exceptions may include extremely large or massive structures, where a combination of multiple technologies may be required.
For standard welding applications, induction heating is a fully-fledged replacement for flame and mechanical straightening.
