Inductors specially designed for strip heating
Fives has developed innovative technologies for strip heating and metal sheets line treatment that makes it easier to install the inductor in production systems and improves process characteristics.
Fives designed the inductors to achieve the highest performance and provide:
- Higher productivity through transient management (format changes, etc.) for solid transverse uniformity
- Excellent flexibility
- Low maintenance and a long lifecycle for the machinery
- High power density and increased thermal efficiency
- Compact heating equipment
- A high-precision process
Fives developed inductors and IGBT and MOSFET generators for strip heating.
A wide range of power generators with IGBT and MOSFET transistors
IGBT generator frequency range: 0.5-50 kHz
MOSFET generator frequency range: 10-400 kHz
Superior operational flexibility by only using digitally-controlled MOSFET and IGBT transistors. Local or remote network control via MODBUS, PROFIBUS or ETHERNET connection depending on the type of automation.
