EFD Induction, Skien, Norway, announces that one of Japan’s largest manufacturing multinationals has recently ordered two of its Minac mobile induction heating systems. The systems will be installed at a facility in Japan, and used for brazing generator stator bars and windings. The Minac systems are compact, mobile induction heating systems that feature automatic electronic matching, robot compatibility and user-friendly controls.
EFD Induction has long been active in Japan, and has supplied induction heating systems that were used to help build the country’s famous ‘bullet’ trains. EFD Induction has also sold its Terac deck-straightening systems to Japanese shipbuilders, and recently notched a major order from the country’s leading automotive bearing maker.
According to Tetsuro Yanagawa, head of EFD Induction Japan, the orders underline the trust and confidence Japan’s notoriously choosy manufacturers have in EFD Induction products and services.
“Of course, equipment is only a part of any long-term solution. So our customers in Japan are reassured when they learn of our strong presence in Asia,” says Yanagawa. “This presence includes several major manufacturing plants in China and India, as well as a network of sales and service offices right across the continent.”
EFD Induction has to date installed thousands of heating solutions for a wide range of industrial applications—bringing the benefits of induction technology to many of the world’s leading manufacturing and service companies. EFD Induction has manufacturing plants, workshops and service centers in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Corporate headquarters are in Skien, Norway.
