MiniMICO Induction Heating Power Supply by eldec

The MiniMICO, a mobile induction power supply from eldec LLC, is available in 15, 20 and 30 kW medium frequencies and can be configured for induction brazing as well as die hardening applications. It’s mobile base, integrated chiller and small footprint (31” wide by 47” deep by 45.5” high) make it easy to use and move around your shop. Precise energy dosing, efficiency ratings of greater than 90%, programmable temperature settings, and safety features and ergonomic options make it capable of speeding up your process, improving part quality, reducing your utility costs and making your operation safer. If reducing energy costs and producing better quality parts aren’t incentive enough to convince you to switch from flame to induction, consider this. Induction eliminates the need to use, store or transport toxic or explosive gases.

Mobile MiniMICO induction heating generator with an optional boom arm

Figuring out how to position and manage the weight of the induction tools is one of the challenges facing manufacturers who use induction brazing. With this in mind, eldec developed the MiniMICO, a mobile induction power supply with an optional boom arm that supports the coax transformer’s weight.  The ergonomic design balances the tools, reduces the weight load and allows users to perform brazing tasks comfortably over longer periods of time.

See how easy this generator is to use. Our friends at FlexArm, the manufacturer of the boom arm took a video of our demonstration at FABTECH 2018.
