help mill operators take advantage of precisely controlled power (kW) and a stable welding frequency (kHz), even with changes in the weld area set up, tube OD, wall thickness and impeder material. The CFI HF Welder provides high speed and power, matching and control during mill starts and stops and throughout each mill run. Alongside the Thermatool HF Welder, the Alpha Flying Shear Cutoff enables Regiopytsa to achieve the fastest cutting speeds, close tolerance cut-lengths and longer blade life. Long shear blade life is the mark of a precision Alpha die set, making Alpha Flying Shears reliable and accurate.
