Ambrell to highlight Ekoheat
technology at trade shows
AMBRELL Induction Heating Solutions
is exhibiting at both EMO Hannover and
FABTECH 2017.
Its Ekoheat® induction heating
systems with VPA TechnologyTM will
be highlighted at both trade shows.
The Ekoheat product family has been
designed with Ambrell’s exclusive
Versatile Performance Architecture
(VPA). This includes an innovative
feature set that provides versatility and
product performance.
Ekoheat VPA systems are available in
a wide array of models to cover a broad
spectrum of applications. Models range
from 10 kW to 500 kW with frequencies
from 2 kHz to 150 kHz.
Incorporating this architecture, the
control and power delivery intelligence
is standardised throughout the product
line using a common set of circuit
components. Additionally, the spare
board set addresses all models using
stored and easily transferred application
attributes. Ekoheat VPA systems are
parallel resonant so generators can
be located more than 30m from the
application, and each one offers true,
high-resolution RF power control.
They all include wide impedance RF
transformers for application matching
and are equipped with an automatic
scan feature that sets the appropriate
initial frequency and determines the
best RF setup.
True digital tuning provides accurate
part heating, resulting in excellent
repeatability. Finally, Ekoheat VPA
systems offer 100 per cent duty-cycle
for demanding, automated processes.
Ekoheat systems have been used for
numerous tube and pipe applications.
Examples include tube and pipe coating
curing, pre- and post-weld heating,
hot pipe bending and drill pipe heat
treatment. Ambrell will exhibit in hall 11,
stand B02 at EMO Hannover, and stand
B10020 at FABTECH.
