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
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
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.

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
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,
such as pre-bending, bending, closing
and approaching of pipe edges, and are
always based on the principle of production
process automation.
