Mid-range in price, but packed with standard features, eldec’s ECO LINE series of induction power supplies are a good choice for many manufacturing scenarios. They’re powerful, yet compact, making them easy to move around the shop.
ECO LINE series power supplies have a continuous power rating from 5 to 150 kW (Medium Frequency version) or 5 to 75 kW (High Frequency version). Numerous options, including single or multiple outputs, make either frequency version suitable as a stand-alone generator or for integration into larger production systems.
Capacity classes:
- ECO LINE MF (medium frequency, 8-40 kHZ)
- ECO LINE HF (high frequency, 60-400 kHZ)
Features of all eldec ECO LINE generators
Models in both capacity classes include:
- Robust IGBT transistor technology makes ECO LINE generators short and idle proof
- Automatic adaptation to resonance frequency and, thereby, inductor dimension
- Safety: Circuit topology with output transformer for operator protection
- Discrete I/O control is standard. Control options include: Profibus/Profinet interface/Ethernet IP Interface
- High-speed PLC with eldec control print: high clock pulse frequencies for extremely rapid control
- Precise energy dosing (+/- 2%) => high process capability (reliability)
- Inverter with modular design
- Compact eldec transformers and throttles for optimum power density
- Intuitive control panel
- Hose bundles of up to 15 meters in length
Advantages:
- High efficiency > 90%
- Reliable and consistent heat for precise brazing, shrink fitting or joining
- Compact design
- Multiple safety features to protect the equipment and the operator
- Widest frequency and power range and largest adaptation range on the market
- Virtually maintenance free
- Easy to integrate with automation
Configurations and options:
Although considered standard models, ECO LINE generators are available with numerous options and output configurations. Most power ratings are also available in the versions with two outputs for sequential heating or two outputs with simultaneous independent heating or simultaneous symmetrical heating. Multiple control options make them ideal for integration into larger systems, and the operator panel is designed for intuitive control.
Generators designed for a wide variety of applications:
- Brazing squirrel cage rotors for large electric motors
- Brazing large parts with high power
- Shrink fitting components for small to mid-size electric motors
- Induction annealing, induction tempering, metal de-coating
- Stripping insulation from copper wire
