EFD Induction boosts welding frequency up to 500 kHz with IGBT transistors
Nearly 10 years of successful use of the patented switching technology has proven the reliability of EFD Induction’s Weldac IGBT welder. Refinement of existing technology has improved and extended the use of readily available, reliable and standard IGBT transistors up to 500 kHz.

Maximized uptime and throughput from the EFD Induction Weldac
EFD Induction’s ‘Weldac’ induction welders have revolutionized uptime and productivity levels in the tube and pipe industry. Thanks in part to its patented switching technology, the Weldac is able to use reliable, standard IGBT transistors—even at the higher frequencies (now up to 500 kHz) needed for smaller dimensioned tube welding. The innovation means tube and pipe manufacturers can now get all the familiar advantages of MOSFET welders (high power efficiency, low operating costs) together with the unrivalled reliability and uptime of IGBT transistors. Indeed, the Weldac is so reliable that EFD Induction warrants the system’s IGBT inverter modules and driver cards for a total of five years of operation.

Pre-heating of stabilizer bar ends
The next time you watch a Formula One race on TV, you can be sure that most of the cars on the track are equipped with suspension springs from Eibach. In fact, wherever high-performance vehicles have to endure extreme conditions, chances are many of them will be fitted with Eibach suspension solutions.
