the performance and overall operating efficiency of a welder, provided they are both correctly positioned on the mill. IHWT Thermatool produces induction coils for specific needs, including production of carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium or galvanised tubing, suitable for installation on Thermatool welders with power ratings from 50kW to 2MW and operating frequencies ranging from 100 to 800kHz.

IHWT Thermatool has produced a comprehensive 12-page brochure that covers the wide range of induction coils and impeders, designed specifically for use with Thermatool CFI and HCT series solid-state HF induction welders. Manufactured from high conductivity copper, quality inspected and painted orange for clear identification, there are SOMO has built a number of plants intended for the production of high-thickness pipes made with stainless steel, carbon steel and special alloys. The equipment is based on an automation system designed and carried out by the operator. In spite of the considerable size of the machinery, the quality level attained enables the creation of highly accurate

numerous types and sizes of induction work coils available to satisfy a range of applications. Many of these models are available for immediate delivery from stock. There are also many different types of impeder, available in a wide range of lengths and diameters. The correct choice of induction coil and impeder will play a significant part in optimising geometric shapes, which makes post- bending procedures easier, and helps to optimise production. The automatic plants are entirely designed, carried out and installed by Somo staff, and have been built in various parts of the world. They consist of specific machinery for any step of the production process,

Automated equipment for pipe plants

such as pre-bending, bending, closing and approaching of pipe edges, and are always based on the principle of production process automation. Somo Produzione SpA – Italy Fax: +39 02 9356 1457 Email: info@somoproduzione.com Website: www.somoproduzione.com
