Solid state pipe welder with power saving of ‘30 per cent’
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
Kistler supplies welding positioning and cutting systems
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.
