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.

for lockseamers, SRSWs, ram and FLO style flangers, baffle stuffers, ridge- locking equipment, cap assembly and cap seaming machines. Tube fixture gauges: Eaton Leonard Tube Fixture has more than ten years’ design and manufacturing experience and has more than 3,000 gauges in the marketplace. Tube Fixture gauges are available in both stainless and aluminium, and are manufactured by a laser cutting technology that provides for no shape or size limitations. Advantages include customisation for any application, accuracy from 0.2mm, easy to use, easy to move, and easy to modify, and each comes standard with a complete documentation package. 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 Email: contact@eatonleonard.com Website: www.eatonleonard.com EFD Induction 6C26

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.
