Fluxtrol Showcases SMC Impeder Technology at FABTECH 2025

At this year’s FABTECH 2025, Rob Goldstein, FASM, from Fluxtrol presented exciting new research on how Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) impeder cores are reshaping high-frequency tube welding.

Key benefits demonstrated in the presentation include:

✅ Generates annual savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars per line by improving operational efficiency.

✅ 20-50% reduction in energy use and carbon emissions.

✅ Higher production rates without sacrificing quality.

Rob also highlighted Fluxtrol’s proven workflow for verifying impeder designs using advanced computer modeling and physical simulation, an essential step for managing SMC’s higher magnetic losses and cooling requirements.

Discover the detailed results, including a case study from our Prinz & Co. GmbH Stahlrohre trials.
