SPINDUCTION

A wide range of materials are suitable for Spinduction Induction Kinetic Welding, however the main focus is on carbon steels and titanium and its alloys. Both materials respond exceptionally well to the joining process, and a large number of different alloys and compositions have been tested and verified. Joint properties are excellent as the material is kept below melt, reducing the severity of change of the grain structure, resulting in near parent material properties. In some cases, parent material properties can be improved upon.
Spinduction Weld Inc. offers complete, turn-key, fully automated welding systems. Research and development is offered to solve joining problems not addressed by any other technology available. Current applications, with customers using the Spinduction Induction Kinetic Welding process, include oil and gas, automotive, and aeronautical manufacturing industries.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to increase our client's productivity, quality, safety and profitability through the innovative application of Spinduction's unique solid state welding process to the client's business.

In the early years, Spinduction attracted a talented team of engineers and embarked on an intensive period of research and development which led to the company's first commercial machines that were designed and built in Calgary and then placed into industrial operations in both Canada and the USA starting in 2011. These early prototypes provided critical real world learnings that were incorporated into the new machine designs that are used today.

During recent years, the company has been working with several of major global companies in a wide variety of industries to adapt and commercialize the technology for their unique applications. These applications range from oil & gas drilling and production, pipelines, automotive, nuclear power, geothermal, etc. Over the years, the company has learned that the many advantages that the Spinduction process presents for our clients lead to virtually limitless applications.

In 2023, Spinduction introduced its greatest innovation since founding the company - Next Generation Parallel Robotic machine architecture. This newest machine design is based on parallel robotics which has 6-axis control through the entire weld cycle and surpasses all previous designs in performance, pricing, simplicity, serviceability and scalability to large sizes. Please contact us for more information on this.

Spinduction's unique, fully automated process can be used in factory and mobile applications, for cylindrical tubular parts, and combines high-efficiency induction heating with a kinetic cycle to provide a full-circumference weld in less than 60 seconds, regardless of material, diameter, or wall thickness. The resulting weld is flawless by the latest NDT measurements, homogeneous, and can be performed on net final-shape components without post-weld machining. Additionally, by controlling weld parameters, the resulting weld properties can be varied to best suit the application's requirements.

APPLICATIONS

The patented Spinduction process has been accepted by several major industry leaders with current applications operating successfully in the axle manufacturing, piston manufacturing and oil field equipment industries. With its excellent scalability and mobility, the welding process offers substantial benefits to a wide range of industries. The superior mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of the weld make the process well suited to applications in which joint quality is critical. Minimal required work-piece movement makes the process well suited to large and heavy wall applications as well. Dual concentric welds are also possible, opening design options to product engineers. Spinduction currently offers three welding systems intended for circular-geometry welds from 2” (50 mm) through 12” (305 mm) OD, and a tubular weld face area of 0.42 in² (270 mm²) through 48 in² (31,000 mm²). The Spinduction process is a breakthrough in the welding industry with limitless applications across many industries.
