  • Energy sources / Generators

      • PICO-Generators by eldec - Compact, Red, Strong

      • Cost-efficient, budget-driven Generators with a single output, controlled by a simple, intuitive operator interface.

        The PICO generator comes in small, medium and large – three sizes and has a variety of power levels available. PICO-S, PICO-M and PICO-L are affordable generators, developed, built and tested by eldec using strictly standardized, high quality components.

        eldec PICO Generators are available as medium frequency and high frequency energy sources, from 5 kW to 150 kW, for the induction heating of a variety of workpieces comprised of different materials.

          • PICO-S: mobile generator for perfect induction heating

          • 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!

            Despite its compact form, this induction generator is fully featured. For example, it offers operation in continuous, jog, and timer modes, as well as control by power, current, or temperature. There is also a memory for up to 50 programs. The intuitive software is operated via a tough membrane keypad. Use of a control device is also possible.

          • PICO-L: powerful induction heating for economical processes

          • The generators of the PICO series make induction heating easier, more efficient, and safer. With PICO-L you can choose from medium-frequency versions (50 to 150 kW) or high-frequency versions (25 to 75 kW).

            Powerhouse for induction heating

            Mobile, easy to operate, stable design, and comprehensively tested – these are the hallmarks of all PICO devices from eldec. The “L” designates the most powerful version with up to 150 kW in the medium-frequency version.

            On top of that, the device naturally also features the high quality typical of the PICO series: For example, the temperatures of cooling water and heat sinks are monitored continuously, as is the temperature of the generator and inductor cooling water. This ensures a high degree of work safety and operational availability for induction heating.

            Other important features include the specially designed eldec control, proven inverter technology, and the intuitive operating design. Take the memory for program management, for example: it makes it very easy for the operator to configure the device precisely to meet the requirements of the specific workpiece or material.

            In addition to the extensive standard features, including the three operating modes of Continuous, Jog, and Timer operation and a dual channel emergency stop function, there is also a whole range of optional features. These include, for example, control by foot pedal or an external interface.

                • CUSTOM LINE HF generators: Made-to-measure high-frequency technology for induction heating

                • The name “CUSTOM” already says it all: HF generators of this series are configured precisely for the relevant production task. Their HF power ranges from 100 to 1,500 kW. The frequency range is 80 to 400 kHz.

                  Induction generators with high power density

                  On this basis, numerous combinations of power and frequency are possible – a key prerequisite for effective induction heating. eldec induction generators also provide high-precision energy dosing, which guarantees the reproducibility of the process.  

                  In addition, CUSTOM LINE HF generators are available with a comprehensive bundle of options: Offers include hose bundles of various lengths, a Profibus interface, pyrometer-based temperature control, as well as a cable box with a heating cable for shrink applications.

                • CUSTOM LINE SDF® generators: using two frequencies simultaneously

                • 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 gear wheels. While using a SDF ® generator, medium frequencies can penetrate more deeply into the gear wheel, primarily heating the tooth base, and at the same time high frequencies heat the tooth tip. The entire component is heated with absolutely uniform depth and temperature.

                  To achieve this eldec’s SDF® generators have one high frequency converter and one medium frequency converter sharing a common power output, with high frequency oscillation superimposed on the basic medium frequency oscillation during the SDF process.

                  In addition, the conventional use of high frequency and medium frequency energy is possible as well, giving the user a vey versatile generator with high power density (power 50 to 3000 kW, frequency: 10 kHz to 25 kHz and 150 kHz to 350 kHz).

Designed to be capable of switching between medium and high frequencies, Dual Frequency induction generators come with the same product and service quality that you expect from eldec at a lower price.
                • CUSTOM LINE LF generators: Low-frequency technology for precision induction heating

                • 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.
