PICO-SC: Mobile Induction Heating

PICO-SCs are compact plug & play devices for the induction heating of a wide range of workpieces and materials. By integrating the active cooler and generator in a single housing, stationary and mobile inductive soldering, annealing, cut edge hardening and many other applications have been simplified in a practical way.

PICO-SC: compact, complete, mobile

The series can be supplied in mid or high frequencies in power classes from 5 kW to 30 kW and can be transported as standard using rollers, a crane, or forklift. In addition to operation with an inductor or soldering gun, they can also be used with annealing cables. Arms with a balancer or parallelogram kinematics can be supplied to ensure that the tools can be used ergonomically without their weight having to be supported.

Occupational safety and high availability are important to us. The generators always feature electrical isolation for this purpose. In addition, the generator’s temperature and delivery rate are continuously monitored.

PICO-SC devices are surprisingly low cost due to the high level of standardization, but nevertheless feature uncompromising eldec quality and are extremely powerful: In the 30 KW MF version, PICO-SC devices deliver the highest power density on the market.
