PICO

small, red, strong, low-cost

PICO by eldec: Standard generators with one output and simple handling. Available in numerous power classes. Just Heat!

PICO generators are low-cost energy sources with uncompromising eldec quality thanks to a high level of component standardisation. They are available as medium-frequency and high-frequency generators from 5 to 30 kW for induction heating of a wide range of workpieces and materials. They are extremely compact: for example, the PICO-S generator (table-top housing size) is available with 30 kW MF - the best ratio of volume to power on the market. 

Thanks to the intuitive user guidance, plug & play really is a reality. Continuous, jog or timer operation, regulation according to output, current, temperature and recipe memory management are standard features.

Operational safety and high availability are important to us. That is why the generators are designed with electrical isolation of all external signal connections. Cooling water and heat sink temperatures as well as generator and inductor cooling water temperatures are also continuously monitored.

Available frequency ranges:
MF: 8 - 20 kHz / 16 - 40 kHz
HF: 70 - 175 kHz / 140 - 350 kHz
