ABSTRACT:
A system and method for inductively heating a workpiece includes a controller and a plurality of power supplies that receive and send signals to the controller. Induction heads receive power from the power supplies. The induction heads may be aligned with adjacent segments of the workpiece, and can span the perimeter of the workpiece. The gap between adjacent induction heads is less than one half the size of the adjacent induction heads, and preferably the induction heads abut or substantially abut. Each of the power supplies include feedback for controlling the power delivered to the segments of the workpiece. In alternative embodiments the feedback may be based on the current or power provided to the induction heads, or the power provided to the workpiece.
