Induction straightening
Induction straightening uses a coil to generate localised heat in pre-defined heating zones. As these zones cool, they contract, pulling the metal into a flatter condition.
Introduction
Our time-saving deck and bulkhead straightening solutions are used in the shipbuilding industry (deck straightening), construction industry (straightening of bridges) and trains/trucks industry (production and repair of locomotives, rolling stock and heavy goods vehicles).
- Customers report minimum 50% time-savings compared to traditional methods
- Productivity increase through precision in heat-transfer; no need to remove heat-sensitive components
- Working radius of up to 60 meters (197’) from the heat generator
An ENRX Terac system ensures failsafe operation – making it impossible to overheat magnetic steel.

-
Induction heating is widely used to straighten ship decks and bulkheads.
-
Terac works just as well on bulkheads and other vertical structures as it does on decks.
-
For added ergonomic comfort, the handheld transformer can be attached to a balancer and suspended from a magnet or wire rope.
-
Operators can work with Terac within a 45m radius of the base unit. An optional extension unit lengthens the work area to 60m radius.
-
Note the easy-to-use controls placed on the handle. It usually takes only a couple of hours to train an operator to use the Terac system.
