Electromagnetic field analysis of inductor-robot-work-piece system

The paper presents an analysis of the influence of the industrial robot located nearby an induction heater on the electromagnetic field distribution. The experiment consisted of numerical analysis and measurement verification. The analysis of the electromagnetic field distribution was conducted for low frequency (50 Hz) heater. Two variants which differed in the presence (or absence) of the robot were considered. As a result, the distributions of the electromagnetic field around the heater were obtained. The evaluation of the influence of the industrial robot location on the magnetic field intensity was presented and discussed.
