igm Robotersysteme
There are applications supported by igm Robotersysteme in every area of the welding and cutting industry. The igm reputation as a specialist for large-scale projects is based on a steady stream of major contracts from the heavy engineering industry since the 1980s. Indeed, the floor track systems of up to 100m in length are designed to cater for the special requirements of this industry. Components with larger than standard dimensions such as those found in bridge construction and ship building for example, are manufactured using portal welding units capable of taking components of up to 25m in width and 8m in height. The robotic systems are utilized for manufacturing excavators, railway wagons and locomotives, for boiler making, the construction of gantry cranes, bridge construction and ship building.

ENRX EFD
Straightening with induction heating
The thermal straightening of welded plate constructions has been a key area of ENRX since the early 1980s. Our deck and bulkhead straightening solutions are found in the ship-building industry (deck straightening), construction industry (straightening of bridges) and trains/trucks industry (production and repair of locomotives, rolling stock and Heavy Goods Vehicles). Using induction for straightening means that you get the right heat, exactly where you want it. When repairing a steel chassis on a truck, for example, there’s no need to dismount heat-sensitive components such as brakes and cables. Induction also makes life easier for staff and the environment. No gas flame to emit dangerous fumes. No flame to burn the skin. And, induction heating is easy to learn and safe to use.
ENRX offers brazing in various important fields such as the automotive, aviation, electrotechnical and white goods industries. It includes brazing of aluminium, brass, copper, copper alloys, iron and cast iron, steel and stainless steel. There are many reasons why using induction heating instead of gas for brazing is clearly beneficial. Induction transfers more energy per square meter than an open flame, resulting in faster heating cycles. Put simply, you produce more components per hour. The heat is also easy to check and adjust. You reduce the risk of overheating, which can lead to higher porosity and weaker joints. What’s more, you reduce the risk of cold brazing as induction generates the heat in the base material. Just as important, induction heating improves the working environment and safety. No gas needed, no open flame, no additional heating.
ENRX coating removal systems bring precision and efficiency to surface preparation across industries such as shipbuilding, automotive, and heavy machinery. By using induction, coatings can be stripped cleanly from surfaces without damaging the base material. The heat is applied exactly where it’s needed, avoiding sensitive components nearby. Induction also makes the process safer and more environmentally friendly – there’s no open flame and no harmful fumes. The system is easy to operate, energy-efficient, and delivers consistent results, helping you prepare surfaces quickly and reliably for re-coating.
