The 200 series is the state-of-the-art in medium-high frequency generators available in the market. This family combine the miniaturized CEIA Heating Head solution (patented) with a powerful, continuous-duty rated generator with so high efficiency that it can replace traditional generators in applications up to double input power, thus cutting the initial investment and operating costs.

Warm Forming
CEIA Induction Generators, thanks to the extremely compact dimensions, can be easily integrated inside Forging Machines, for processes of Warm Forming (300-900°C) of an alloy of Titanium, Nickel, Steel, for the production of fasteners.With a wide range of frequency and power, CEIA generators achieve excellent performances and very high yields of both magnetic and non-magnetic materials (Titanium alloy, Nickel, Steel).
The Heating Head and the Coil can be placed inside the machine, in the area between the feeding rolls and the cutting bushing.
All CEIA Generators have been studied to maximize the output power and minimize the energy consumption.
The microprocessor control system of the Generator, combined with the use of the SLE Optical Pyrometers Family (80 ÷ 2000 °C), allows to measure and to stabilize the heating temperature.
CEIA Controllers are also fitted with a Thermal Profile and Data Log for the storage of all parameters of the working cycle. This allows to certify the quality of production as always required, especially in aerospace and automotive industry.
CEIA Generators are all INDUSTRY 4.0 READY.
Warm forming is a controlled metal shaping process executed at intermediate temperatures, typically spanning from 200°C to 1200°C. Within this process, metallic materials are heated sufficiently to significantly reduce their deformation resistance, yet precisely controlled to prevent substantial grain growth or detrimental oxidation. This technique effectively bridges the operational gap between conventional cold forming and hot forming methodologies, offering notable advantages such as improved material formability, reduced springback phenomena, and enhanced dimensional accuracy of the final component.
This method proves particularly advantageous for the precise forming of high-strength steels, aluminium alloys (does aluminium work on induction is confirmed here for this process), and other materials that exhibit inherent challenges in shaping at ambient temperatures. Warm forming is extensively implemented in the automotive, aerospace, and appliance manufacturing sectors for the efficient production of complex, lightweight components characterized by exceptional surface quality.
Induction heating is an ideal thermal solution for warm forming applications because it delivers rapid, highly localized heating with unparalleled precise temperature control. CEIA induction systems (induction heaters) are commonly deployed in these demanding applications, highly regarded for their superior energy efficiency, intrinsic repeatability, and seamless integration capabilities within automated production lines.
