The technical advantages of eldec generators are well-known: fast, accurate, precise energy control. As important as the machine, though, eldec LLC’s emphasis on application and process solutions is the key to their success… and to their end-users’!
Induction technology can be used whenever workpieces or components are heated to a pre-determined temperature for further processing. The areas of application for induction heating are diverse, ranging from the power generation and electrical equipment industries to automotive and aerospace.
The experts at eldec LLC, a member of the EMAG Group of precision machine tool companies, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, continues to build their business on a growing knowledge base of a wide array of induction applications. Along with their sister company based in Dornstetten, Germany, eldec has been developing sturdy, high-quality energy sources for inductive heating for over 30 years.
With the MICO series generators, eldec offers their customers an extremely convenient and self-contained device with a very broad range of performance capabilities, easy to use and easy to handle — a crucial factor for mobile use.
“With ‘cooling onboard’, the MICO has the smallest footprint of any high powered induction system,” says Dan Goers, Manager – Heating Systems at eldec LLC. The MICO generator is perfect for many applications and end-users are able to easily move the machine wherever in it is needed on the factory floor or jobsite. An intuitive user interface with touchscreen simplifies the configuration. eldec quality control assures that MICO generators are highly stable with a long service life, developed for challenging manufacturing applications and environments. Before shipping, they undergo comprehensive testing and are held to extremely high quality standards.
Diverse areas of application
The eldec experts offer a broad selection of MICO generators to their customers. The generator comes in three combinations of power levels and sizes: MICO-S, MICO-M, and MICO-L. These can be configured as medium-frequency or high-frequency generators ranging from 15 kW to 70 kW, depending on the model, and can be configured in either stationary or mobile form. They are equipped with an intuitive, user-friendly operator interface and can be configured with a jib boom with tool balancer or (for the MICO-M) an articulated boom. Double and TWIN output units are also available upon request.
“The MICO is another example of cost-effective engineering on the part of our German colleagues,” comments Dan Goers, “We look at it as a team effort: combining state-of-the-art eldec German design with our local build of the induction generators. Induction is limited only by your imagination! We design and build Inductors (Coils) for applications all over America… and the world. In addition to the eldec hardware, like the PICO and MICO generators, eldec LLC provides process solutions formulated right here, based on local know-how and time-proven experience in the North American marketplace. We take great satisfaction in expanding the knowledge base of integrated induction solutions to our customers.”
