EMAG ELDEC INDUCTION GMBH

PICO-M: mobile generator for perfect induction heating Induction generators of the PICO-M series are standardized and consequently cost-effective – without any compromise in quality. The device is available in a medium-frequency version (50 and 75 kW) and a high-frequency version (25 and 35 kW). High power density for induction heating Specially designed eldec control, proven inverter technology, and an intuitive operating interface – the advantages of eldec's compact PICO-M induction generators are of direct benefit to any user. All in all, this is a simple yet very powerful induction generator based on standardized components – and that is what makes its costs of investment so low.

With the new PICO-S series, eldec presents an extremely compact mobile generator. Depending on the model, it can be configured as a medium frequency energy source (5 up to 30 kW) or high frequency energy source (5 up to 15 kW). Induction heating with maximum PICO efficiency The compact PICO-S, perfect for portable use, is based on proven technology from German induction heating specialist eldec, while the configuration of its central elements has been simplified and distilled down to the essentials – resulting in not only lower construction costs but also a lower price to the customer. Operation of the PICO-S couldn't be easier, yet the mobile generator is still capable of processing a very wide range of materials and workpieces with high power density. All you need to do is unpack it, plug it in, and start heating!

nduction Heating and Joining in one turnkey system. This turnkey system is used to heat electric motor housings with various dimensions for a wide range of joining processes. Example Heating System 1: the die-cast aluminium housing for an asynchronous motor (diameter 450 mm) is heated to approx. 290°C in approx. 5 minutes to fit the wound stator package. The parts are loaded and unloaded from the feeding belt parallel to the working time. The heating process takes place in two independent work stations. The generator has a switched output which means that only one generator is required for the two heating stations. The system is controlled using a SIEMENS PLC controller. Example Heating System 2: the aluminium housing (diameter 140 mm) of a synchronous motor is heated to approx. 280°C in approx. 3 minutes to fit the stator. The component is loaded into and unloaded from the heating station semiautomatically. The system is controlled using a PLC.

Inductor design and manufacture continues to be one of eldec’s core competences. The inductor forms the foundation of every eldec induction machine. Every inductor is specifically made-to-order for a workpiece. The basis of this is the frequency, material and power density which means that precisely that area of the workpiece is heated that should be heated. eldec heating cables are used for the heating of large components. The form of the inductor and its design are tailored to the geometry of the workpiece area it is to heat. An inductor from eldec is designed using the very latest 3-D CAD solid modelling software, manufactured on CNC machine tools and built by trained personnel with excellent training at eldec in Germany and the USA. This means that every inductor is made to measure, precise and highly accurate.

ECO LINE HF generators: Robust technology — efficient heating processes ECO LINE series high-frequency generators are a great match for virtually any production solution. They provide a continuous power of 5 to 75 kW. HF generators with many optional features A combination of advanced power electronics, state-of-the-art control technology, and strict selection processes for all components delivers a top-of-the-line, high-frequency generator usable either as a standalone solution or integrated into a larger system. In either case, users benefit from a technology that offers extremely precise energy dosing for improved consistency and repeatability in production processes. Another strength is the large variety of ECO LINE HF generators, with power ratings from 5 to 150 kW, frequencies from 60 to 400 kHz, multiple outputs and flexible options for control.

Efficient, rugged, and flexible – eldec CUSTOM LINE MF generators offer state-of-the-art medium-frequency technology perfectly matched to your requirements. Their MF power ranges from 200 to 1,500 kW. The frequency range is 8 to 40 kHz. Induction heating with a comprehensive set of options Customized energy sources are the key for effective induction heating or hardening of parts. A made-to-measure solution ensures stable production processes and low energy consumption. CUSTOM LINE MF medium-frequency generators by eldec provide exactly these kinds of qualities. The configuration options are virtually unlimited. In addition to a wide range of power and frequencies, users have the choice between solutions with single and multiple outputs. As a result, several inductors can be connected to the compact CUSTOM LINE MF generator via separate hoses.

To achieve perfect induction heating processes depends on generators providing precisely the right amount of energy. With its CUSTOM LINE LF generators, eldec provides just the right solution for the low frequency range (2 to 8 kHz). Induction heating with tough generators “Customized” is the key word when it comes to delivering a perfect production solution in mechanical and systems engineering. This is particularly true for induction heating. The process needs to be configured accurately to produce the desired effect in the material. CUSTOM LINE generators by eldec are the ideal solution for delivering precisely the right amount of power and energy. The LF series (power: 50 to 500 kW, frequency: 2 to 8 kHz) is designed for lower frequencies.

eldec is well-known for its SDF® technology – patented dual-frequency generators which can be operated simultaneously or separately with medium and high frequency. Although SDF® generators are suitable for users looking for a generator with a switchable frequency, but do not want simultaneous frequency, they are often too expensive. We can now supply DF generators (dual-frequency generators) for these applications: switchable dual-frequency generators with the product and service quality you expect from eldec.

With SDF® generators, two different frequencies act simultaneously on the workpiece to be heated, causing the entire component to be induction-hardened with absolutely uniform depth and temperature. New precision – maximum flexibility The outstanding advantages of this patented method are especially evident when hardening complex components. Such as gearwheels, for example: While medium frequencies essentially penetrate more deeply into the gearwheel, primarily heating the tooth base, the high frequencies heat the tooth tip. This is why the SDF® method applies two different frequencies simultaneously to the workpiece to be heated. The entire component is heated with absolutely uniform depth and temperature.
