inTEST Expands Induction Heating Lab Capabilities and Adds Location
inTEST Corporation announced that its thermal segment subsidiary, Ambrell Corporation, is expanding its Applications Laboratory capabilities in the United States and Europe. Ambrell's Applications Laboratory, known in the industry as THE LAB at Ambrell (THE LAB), has long been considered the gold standard in the induction heating market. With applications laboratory facilities in Rochester, NY, and Hengelo, the Netherlands, Ambrell is expanding its laboratory capabilities to a third location on the west coast.
The new lab facility will be located in Fremont, California, specifically to serve customers in the western United States and will include hands-on demonstrations and parts testing of a variety of induction heating applications.
In addition to the new California location, Ambrell's Hengelo laboratory has recently undergone a significant upgrade including an increase in electric power capacity, and now allows for application testing using induction power supplies rated as high as 125kW.
