I feel pretty strongly that the Haimer shrink units are potentially best because of the computerized cycle time for inductive heating and because of their refrigerated cooling. Total cycle to heat and cool to room temperature is about a minute and a half to two minutes. I was recently in a shop that bought a cheaper inductive unit and it overheated the holders, distorted the taper, and left the holders on the bench to cool over 20 minutes. The long cycle time makes it more costly to use by wasting time. The potential damage to holders also increases operating cost. In addition, I have a safety issue with hot holders setting out. |
