Abstract
A cylindrical workpiece is mounted between opposing friction and non-friction guide rails and pushed through an induction coil arrangement by a pusher element positioned relative to the workpiece so that the pusher element introduces a force that moves the workpiece linearly forward within the induction coil arrangement between the two guide rails and rotationally by kinetic friction of the workpiece with the friction rail.
