Thermatool delivers welder, flying shear cutoff

Thermatool has announced the installation of its CFI HF welder and Alpha flying shear cutoff at a major North American tube producer serving markets from automotive to furniture.

The welder will help ensure the company can achieve stable weld heat input control. The patented Thermatool AutoMatch ensures full power output over a variety of product sizes and stabilizes HF welding over the full range of diameters and wall thicknesses produced.

The flying shear cutoff enables this customer to achieve high productivity, close-tolerance cut lengths on the mill, and optimized cutting tool life, says the manufacturer. It is suitable for shearing heavy-wall, high-strength tube and pipe at short cut lengths, with a blade life of up to 80,000 cuts.
