Abstract:
An induction heating system includes an induction heating head assembly configured to move relative to a workpiece. The induction heating system may also include a temperature sensor assembly configured to detect a temperature of the workpiece and/or a travel sensor assembly configured to detect a position, movement, or direction of movement of the induction heating head assembly relative to the workpiece, and to transmit feedback signals to a controller configured to adjust the power provided to the induction heating head assembly by a power source based at least in part on the feedback signals. In certain embodiments, the induction heating system may also include a connection box configured to receive the feedback signals, to perform certain conversions of the feedback signals, and to provide the feedback signals to the power source. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the induction heating system may include an inductor stand assembly configured to hold the induction heating head assembly against the workpiece.

Abstract:
Protective assemblies for enclosures are described. An example apparatus includes a chassis configured to hold one or more electronic systems, a first frame configured to engage a first side of the chassis, a second frame configured to engage a second side of the chassis opposite the first side, and members attached between the first frame and the second frame using fasteners, the members extending between the first frame and the second frame to rigidly secure the first frame and the second frame against the chassis to create an enclosure comprising the first frame, the second frame, and the chassis, the members being exterior to the chassis.

Abstract:
A temperature sensor belt includes at least one temperature sensor. The at least one temperature sensor is configured to provide an indication representative of a temperature of a workpiece. The temperature sensor belt also includes a support material disposed over the at least one temperature sensor. The support material is configured to support the at least one temperature sensor on the sensor belt. The temperature sensor belt also includes an insulative material at least partially surrounding the at least one temperature sensor. The insulative material is configured to thermally insulate the at least one temperature sensor.
Abstract:
A welding power supply unit (12) includes an outer enclosure (88) having a plurality of sides (90) that encompass internal components of the welding power supply unit (12). The welding power supply unit (12) also includes a roll cage assembly (34) having a plurality of roll bars (100). Each roll bar (100) is disposed generally parallel with, but not adjacent to, an edge of a side (90)of the outer enclosure (88) and external to the outer enclosure. At least two of the roll bars (100) are associated with handle portions (36) that rotate with respect to the respective roll bar (100). Each handle portion (36) includes an extruded tubular aluminum bracket or a die cast aluminum bracket disposed around its respective roll bar (100). In addition, the welding power supply unit (12) includes a plurality of fastening mechanisms (80, 82, 84, 86, 92, 94) attached to the outer enclosure (88), the fastening mechanisms (80, 82, 84, 86, 92, 94) securing the roll cage assembly (34) to the outer enclosure (88).
