A fixture for an induction brazing station includes a removable front plate on which is mounted a work piece holder. The base of the induction unit mounts to a back plate lying coplanar with the front plate on the work surface. The coil of the induction unit is uniquely matched to the front plate and the work piece holder. The induction coil removably mounts to the front plate when not in use such that the front plate may be removed from the work surface with the work piece holder and coil mounted thereon. A different front plate may then be mounted upon the work surface having a different coil configuration and work piece holder. The coil(s) are removed from the front plate and attached to the induction base on the back plate. The coil extends to the work piece holder on the front plate in the correct position. The invention provides for quick changeover between different induction units at a single work station.
