  • Patent number: 7565734
    Abstract: An induction forging coil apparatus which makes induction forge coils easier and faster to change on a forge-line. The coil insert is a separate independent unit by itself which slides into the frame to connect to the frame via bus connections and other components. The coil insert is attached to the frame (another separate independent unit by itself) to complete the overall induction heating coil. The induction coil (with both units attached and operatively interconnected) can run on the forge line until it blows/fails, and instead of pulling the whole induction coil (both units attached) off-line to be rebuilt; the frame can be left on-line (or pulled off-line for a brief period of time if there is not enough room to reach the components due to the particular forge-line setup) to switch the failed insert with a new or rebuilt insert, by disconnecting the failed coil insert from the frame and then reconnecting the frame with the new or rebuilt coil insert.
