Ajax TOCCO Sells New EMMEDI MosWeld SiC HFI Welder on Display at Fabtech - Chicago
Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic recently sold a new EMMEDI MosWeld SiC HFI welder which was displayed publicly for the first time at the FABTECH show in Chicago 2017 . The welder will be installed in the Midwest , USA in early December .
This new SiC welder will forever change the face of HFI welding technology . Using highcurrent capable SiC ( Silicon Carbide ) transistor technology , the EMMEDI MosWeld SiC system delivers the same frequencies as former Mosfet units .
However , what sets this unit apart from other Mosfet units , is that the SiC Mosfet ’ s only require four semiconductors versus 36 of the traditional Mosfet transistors , per 100 kW of power .
This particular 500 kW MosWeld SiC unit has 16 Mosfets versus 180 Mosfets required of traditional solid-state Mosfet HFI welders . The SiC Mosfet transistor frequency rating is 150 - 500 kHz , which is the ideal frequency for most HFI welding applications .
Previously , IGBT transistors were the only transistor with high-current capability . Their maximum frequency range of 150 kHz , as defined by the device manufacturers , is on the lower end of the ideal frequency range required for most HFI welding applications . The new Emmedi MosWeld SiC from AjaxTocco is the first HFI welder to operate at the optimum HFI welding frequency range for most HFI welding applications , with high-current capable SiC Mosfet transistors .
