Workpiece induction heating generator Modular Induction Generators

for heat treatment400 Vmedium-frequency

Overview
The Kendrion modular induction generators are a scalable induction heating system consisting of a controller and up to seven generator modules. Modules supply multiple inductors with individually adapted power and are intended for integration into machine control via fieldbus (e.g. PROFINET, EtherCAT, CANopen). Extensive diagnostics and optional integrated I/O support fast commissioning.

Configurations

• 4-channel induction generator: supplies up to 4 induction coils with up to 7.5 kW each.
• 6-channel induction generator: supplies up to 6 induction coils with up to 3 kW each.

Notes on inductors and solutions
Inductors are manufactured to match tools and applications: roller inductors (integrated in rollers, rolls and cylinders) or surface inductors (area heating tools). Kendrion supplies customer-specific induction heating systems tailored to the heating requirements and integrating additional required functions.
