EFD Induction
6C26
Norway
EFD Induction will be displaying a
250kWmodel Weldac at this year’s Tube
Düsseldorf event. Sales manager Peter
Runeborg said that visitors will be able to
learn how the welder’s IGBT transistors,
patented switching technology and
automatic electronic matching make it
suitable for high throughput welding.
According to Mr Runeborg, the
automatic electronic matching is
especially suited for profiles because
such workpieces typically feature
‘cutouts’, places where the metal has
been cut or stamped out. These areas
produce major impedance changes.
Obsolete welders attempt to handle
these changes with voltage and
current ‘over-kill’, but the result is often
unsatisfactory weld quality.
EFD Induction will also showcase
some of the products and services
available from Electronic Heating
Equipment (EHE), the impeder, welder
coils and scarfing specialist acquired by
EFD Induction in 2012. EHE supplies
manufacturers worldwide with a range
that includes Canticut internal scarfing
systems to induction coils and impeder
clusters.
EHE will share a stand with EFD
Induction, and plans to display a
selection of its impeders and induction
coils.
“Visitors from the oil and gas industry
will be particularly interested to learn
more about EHE’s innovative ID
scarfing system, where the impeders
are fully integrated into the design of
the ID mandrel,” said Mr Runeborg.
This innovation can reduce weld
power consumption by up to 30 per
cent compared with other ID scarfing
methods.
Supporting the scarfing tool on a
cantilever removes the need for internal
rolls. This lets the mandrel cover a wide
range of tube sizes and eliminates
the problem of rolling weld spume or
other debris into the tube wall. A typical
Canticut unit can ID scarf and chop 8" to
16" pipe using a single mandrel.

one to be displayed at Tube Düsseldorf
EFD Induction will also be holding
live demonstrations of a Minac 25/40
Twin mobile induction heating system.
“An EFD Induction Minac always draws
a crowd,” commented Mr Runeborg.
“Visitors are usually amazed at the
speed, ease and safety of operation,
and the fact that one power output can,
for example, be brazing copper while at
the same time the other output is shrink-
fitting a steel ring.”
The Minac features automatic
electronic matching that lets it handle
virtually any electrically conductive
material. It can be used as a stand-
alone stationary system, or it can be
attached to a robot. It can be used
with standard power outputs or with
handheld transformers attached via
long, flexible cables, and can be fitted
with a special elongated coil and used to
remove the huge bolts on power station
turbine covers.
The EFD Induction/EHE stand will be
staffed by some of the companies’ top
welding and heating experts.
