TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Induction solutions

Know more about our induction solutions for tube and pipe

Induction welding of square structural tube (HSS)

Induction welding for structural tube (HSS)

GH offers robust, high energy efficient and, precision induction welding solutions for profiles, round, square, rectangular, and other shape cross-section tubes (Hollow Structural Section); and any other type of post-processing to improve weld quality.

GH High Frequency Welders use Silicon carbide (SiC) technology power supply are used. This system allows proven energy savings over 30% in comparison with valve welders reducing the cost per kilometre produced while maximising the production line availability.

Induction brazing of auto grease pipes

Induction heating solutions for automotive tube and pipe

In the automotive industry, there are different parts that can be produced by induction welding or brazing with high precision as fluid pipes or exhaust tube.

GH can help you with automated or semi-automated systems under controlled atmosphere or in air. An extra benefit is the usage of GH SiC generators which can work in the optimum frequency range for each material of the parts

Induction heating for drilling pipes

Hardening and/or tempering of drilling pipe ends. Thanks to the exclusive technology of rotative inductors GH can offer compact solutions no matter of the tube distortion with an accurate control of the heating area, simplifying the tube handling.

Induction heating for OCTG seamless tubes

Induction heating for OCTG seamless tubes

Different solutions for seamless products, from hardening to stress relieving of threaded swagged areas, with the most accurate control of heating homogeneity with endless soaking time.

Innovations

SiC technology power supplies

Energy efficiency and ruggedness.

GH power supplies combine Silicon Carbide (SiC) cutting edge technology with rugged construction for the ultimate in durability and versatility [5,400] kHz. State-of-the-art Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductor materials are used to increase energy efficiency, high power density, bandwidth, and resistance to voltage and temperature.

Rotative Inductor

Optimisation of investment and energy savings.

The rotating inductor is an innovative and unique system in which the inductor turns, and the workpiece is fixed. In this way, the machines are mechanically simplified in an extraordinary way, and the heating is more homogeneous. Thus, the investment is reduced, and the energy consumption is reduced.

Premium Stress Relief

Total heating control homogeneity in swagged tube ends, no matter of soaking time. Unique solution in the market.

Optima Service

You get the best process with the shortest possible lead time. This service improves your heat treatment during your asset life combining 3D induction heating simulations and 3D printed inductors.

IPM 4.0

Production quality and traceability are two of the most important aspects of any manufacturing process. As such, IPM (Induction Process Monitoring) is a mandatory digital system to ensure the quality of the process, comply with ISO/TS 16949 and CQI-9 standards. It is based on a 100% control over the treated parts; and on real-time measurements of the parameters involved in the treatment.

ConnectAR service

ConnectAR is a remote assistance service. It improves productivity, reduces downtime, and makes technical problem identification easier by allowing instant live feedback in our video calls.
