Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What features make the Inductor Series unique?
A: Let’s start with the Bellows and Hose.
Hose: The hose hooks directly into the side of the unit or the front depending on which model of the Inductor series you have. A slight tug on the cord can be used to remove the hose to quickly re-inflate the bellows. By having the hose lined up straight out of the unit you have better control and ease for ensuring the bellow stays inflated.
Bellows: In the automotive environment, especially in body shops, it’s not unusual to find dirt or moisture on the floor, which could damage or malfunction an electrical switch. The Inductor Series uses a pneumatic foot pedal to activate a switch inside the power supply, protecting it from the elements and ensuring more reliable, trouble-free use.
Q: Can the Inductor harm a car’s computer?
A: Your car’s computer is encased in a metal box, which protects the electronics from the magnetic field. Once the magnetic field hits the outer surface of the metal, it stops there, and the field does not go through the metal. At best, the effective magnetic field of any of the attachments is approximately 2.5″. Between these two factors, computers are pretty well protected.
Q: What is the benefit of using the Inductor Glass Blaster over traditional glass removal techniques?
A: There are several benefits of the Glass Blaster over traditional methods.
- Traditional glass removal techniques like glass knives, vibrating knives, or piano wire pose problems of collateral damage. One slip with a vibrating knife, and you can scratch the paint, cut the encapsulation, scratch the black masking, or even worse, break the window. The Inductor releases the adhesive bond of the urethane at the pinch weld, eliminating the possibility of collateral damage.
- Glass knives also have consumable blades that must be replaced often. The Inductor Glass Blaster has no consumable parts.
- Traditional techniques require the technician to remove the interior trim panel. The Inductor removes the window from the car’s exterior without needing to pull back the trim.
- Many of today’s modern vehicle windows are made with deep pockets and curves that knives cannot reach, lips that don’t allow blades to be inserted, or areas near impossible to get near without collateral damage. The Inductor enables the user to hurdle over all these complications with ease.
Q: Can the Inductor break glass?
A: The Inductor only heats metal. Therefore, when used according to the instruction manual it cannot break the glass.
Q: Can it damage the E-coat?
A: If you follow the instructions and proper use of the Inductor, you will not damage the e-coat. Overheating to a temperature that can damage the e-coat would have to be intentional in a professional’s hands.
