Medium and high frequency induction heating equipment

Seit Elettronica, Italy, is a world leader in the production of medium and high frequency induction heating equipment with variable powers from 1.5 to 50kW. Designed for induction welding, soldering, melting, marking and the laser cutting applications, the company’s machines are based on Mosfet and IGBT technology. Built using Mosfet technology, the Minimax systems are available in 1.5 and 3.0kW power supplies (450-700KHz), and are ideal for bench-top or automated atmospheres. This system is equipped with a compact heating head (transformer) connected by an RF cable to an RF generator.

The heating head is easily mounted to pneumatic cylinders, slides or even robots. The induction generator can be equipped with up to two alternating solder heads, while RS232 serial ports for PC/PLC control are available as an option. The Junior induction generators are also built using Mosfet technology and are available in 3.5 and 6.0kW power supplies, which work in the range of 700-1,100KHz. These systems can be configured with one to four alternating heads, and can be fitted with RS232 communication
