Increased productivity with new induction generators 07 October 2020

CEIA SpA has been manufacturing high and medium frequency inductive generators for over 50 years, providing high energy efficiency and minimum operating costs. Thanks to its experience and continuous technological research, CEIA has recently introduced a new range of Power Cube SA/400 generators.

Due to its unique modular design the Power Cube SA/400 generator line, with a wide frequency range from 100kHz to 400kHz, is available in several configurations to satisfy different user requirements.

These include a 12.5kW generator with single heating head output; a 12.5kW generator with dual alternative heating heads output; and double 12.5kW generators with dual simultaneous heating heads output. Finally, a 25kW generator with single heating head output and 25kW generator with dual alternative heating heads output are also available.

Advanced control and interface functions

The Power Cube SA/400 generator series, due to its advanced built-in controller, is equipped with a data logger for quality process control and a web server for remote control and service. Furthermore, all CEIA accessories can be implemented with the new series, as well as optical pyrometers or a thermal camera. An automated wire feeder for the brazing process or field bus for an implementation into automation lines can also be incorporated.

Moreover, the new SA/400 generators are equipped with standard Harting connectors for easy and quick management of the many I/O signals available. All these specifications make the new SA/400 generators comply and ready for Industry 4.0 requirements.

Increased productivity

Among other features, CEIA highlights the high performance of the new series – higher than 96% with maximum operational flexibility. All the new generators are also equipped with a ‘dynamic’ function that allows automatic configuration of internal parameters, minimising the machine set-up time. CEIA explains how this results in the reduction in operating costs for the customer.

The generator, thanks to a specific control software, is also able to adapt in ‘real time’ to changes in workload, automatically modifying the circuit of internal coupling – maximising the transferred energy and avoiding energy waste.

Finally, all SA/400 generators are equipped with a touch screen graphical interface that allows the operator to access the programming of operating parameters in a simple, fast and intuitive way, making them easy to use.
