Abstract
An induction heating device for a shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping of tools into and/or from tool holders, in particular an induction heating unit of a shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping station for tools, comprises an induction heating unit comprising at least one induction coil which is configured to expand, by heating, at least a portion of the tool holder during a shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping process, and includes at least one shielding unit which is at least configured for a shielding of an induction magnetic field generated by the induction heating unit at least substantially at least in an axial direction of the induction coil, wherein the induction heating unit and the shielding unit form structural units which can be operatively decoupled from each other and can thus be moved relative to each other at least in the axial direction.
