Minac ®

Mobile heat generators

Introducing the Minac
Mobile, flexible and easy-to-use. The Minac brings the ben-
efits of induction heating to tough-to-access workpieces.
FIVE KEY BENEFITS
Minac increases throughput.
Fast, easy, accurate and repeatable heat delivery
improves productivity.
Minac improves quality.
Minac’s microcontroller feature lets you pre-set
temperatures and ramp-up and dwell times. Precise
repeatability of heating cycles is assured.
The Minac range of complete mobile induction sys-
tems is even easier to use than its acclaimed pre-
decessor. A ready-to-use system, all that has to be
done upon delivery is: 1) attach a coil, 2) connect
supply voltage, 3) connect cooling water. In models
with closed cooling systems, only the supply voltage
needs connecting.
Once installed, the Minac’s clear, menu-based and
multilanguage control panel ensures maximum
ease-of-use. Moreover, this simplified control/user
interface is common to all Minac equipment.
Many Minac models come in ‘Twin’ versions offering
two independent power outputs. The Twin versions
feature split control panel displays—one for each
power output.
Minac is simple to operate. Handheld transformers
(HHT) feature on/off and precise power controls. In
fact, the HHT is as easy to operate as a regular elec-
tric drill. Flexible, water-cooled cables connecting
the HHT to the converter allow easy access to work-
pieces.
Minac is environment friendly.
No flames, no gas and virtually no radiant heat mean
a more comfortable, more productive working envi-
ronment. Good news for the natural environment, too.
Minac lets you do more.
Minac’s mobility and application versatility let you
perform practically any heating task.
Minac reduces costs.
Precise heat delivery means you get things right
the first time. Scrap, re-working and energy costs
are minimized.

 Mobile induction
Many Minac models are light
enough to be carried in a normal
car. You no longer have to trans-
port workpieces to the induction
system—often a costly and time-
consuming process.
Twin power outputs
Many Minac models come in a
‘Twin’ version featuring two inde-
pendent power outputs that can
operate simultaneously under
identical or different parameters.

Range of coils Split display

Minac systems can be fitted with
a practically limitless range of coil
designs. EFD Induction are spe-
cialists at designing, testing and
delivering customized, long-life
coils.
Twin versions feature two indepen-
dent control panels. Each displays
data for its power output. Func-
tionality is based on our specially
designed microcontroller.

Remote control
A remote control unit lets you con-
trol heating cycles via feedback to
the microcontroller. Minac is avail-
able with field buses and is com-
patible with Profibus-DP, Interbus,
Ethernet, etc.

Robot compatible
Minac can be adapted to any
robot, allowing quick, no-fuss
integration into automated pro-
duction lines. The HHT can easily
be mounted on a robot arm.

Maximum output power

With Minac’s maximum power
feature you can, for limited periods
of time, operate with an output
power far in excess of the con-
tinuous output power.

EASY. FAST. ACCURATE.
Minac’s handheld transformers (HHT)
combine maximum efficiency with maxi-
mum ease-of-use. Simply turn on, and
accurately regulate power by pressing the
trigger. Operator convenience is enhanced
by sturdy hand grips and a removable
support wire. The flexible connector cable
allows easy, unhindered access to work-
pieces.

MINAC AT WORK

Minac is mobile, you can move it around

a workshop or factory floor when working
on hard-to-reach workpieces. Many Minac
models can be loaded into a car or van and
transported to work sites.
