Tube & Pipe Welding: Trends & Progress
M ay 2008 94 ›
Hisen Enterprises Co Ltd, Taiwan,
specializes in high frequency welding
machines that provide power saving,
high speed welding, high productivity and
minimum maintenance. The company
is a pioneer in this field, with continuous
developments, innovation and transfer of
the latest technology from its partners in
France and Japan.
The company manufactures a solid state
pipe welding machine that offers a power
saving of around 30 per cent compared
to the vacuum tube type welders. The
solid state pipe welding machine was
developed and manufactured as a
result of a technology transfer from
Japan.
The machine has a compact design
that is only around half the size of the
vacuum tube type machine. These two
factors are significant for customers
choosing solid state pipe welders. The
welding machine is fully adaptable and
can weld small and large pipes, and thin or
thick pipes.
Hisen welcomes comparisons of the
quality of the weld line with machines from
Europe and USA. Hundreds of units of this
successful equipment have been sold in
just four years.
The company claims to have around 60
per cent of the Taiwanese market, and the
machine has been exported to Europe,
USA, Asia, and African.

Welding positioning and cutting systems
Founded in 1966, the Kistler Machine Company is engaged in engineering and
manufacturing of welding positioning and cutting systems for the welding trade,
especially for pipe welding and cutting.
Based on the patented U-range
pipe rotators invented by Roland
Kistler, which are still produced,
the company produces a wide
range of standard products.
This range currently includes
over 200 standard machines
dedicated to cutting and
welding.
Kistler’s manufacturing range
includes pipe rotators and
turning rolls, positioners (various
designs), pipe cutting and
profiling machines, manipulators
for welding heads, and handling
equipment.
In April 2001, the former
competitor F Bode & Sons
in England was taken over by Kistler. Due to this merger, the complete product range
of Bode was added to the Kistler portfolio. This merger resulted in a large increase in
turnover that has continued ever since.
Due to the continuing high demand for Kistler products, in 2007 the company moved
into a newly built facility with larger premises.
