Explore Heron's comprehensive seam welder range—from 50KVA AC to 880KVA MFDC models—delivering airtight, high-strength seams for fuel tanks, batteries, pipes, and pressure vessels across industries.
Seam welding represents the gold standard for creating continuous, leak-proof metal joints essential for pressure vessels, fuel tanks, battery enclosures, and piping systems. Heron's advanced seam welder portfolio spans AC and MFDC technologies from 50KVA to 880KVA, providing manufacturers with versatile solutions optimized for longitudinal and circular welding applications across automotive, energy storage, HVAC, and industrial sectors.
Traditional spot welding fails to deliver the hermetic seals required for fluid containment or pressure integrity. Heron's seam welders use rotating wheel electrodes to create uniform, continuous fusion along entire seam lengths, ensuring zero leakage even under extreme pressure differentials and thermal cycling.

MFDC Technology Superiority for Demanding Applications
Heron's MFDC seam welders provide critical advantages over traditional AC systems:
| Feature | MFDC Seam Welders | AC Seam Welders |
|---|---|---|
| Current Control | Precise waveform | Sinusoidal |
| Heat Input | Optimized, minimal HAZ | Higher, variable |
| Weld Speed | 2-3x faster | Standard |
| Electrode Life | Extended (5x) | Standard |
| Material Range | Thin to thick gauge | Limited range |
| Energy Efficiency | 30-50% savings | Baseline |
The rapid current rise (3ms) and stable arc characteristics ensure consistent penetration across varying material thicknesses and compositions.
Longitudinal Seam Welding Excellence
Heron's longitudinal seam welders excel in:
Fuel Tanks & Oil Tanks: Airtight seams preventing hydrocarbon leakage
Battery Enclosures: Hermetic seals for EV thermal management
Water Tanks: Corrosion-resistant continuous joints
Steel Pipe Manufacturing: High-speed production lines
Pressure Vessels: Code-compliant welding per ASME standards
Upper and lower wheel electrodes rotate synchronously while material advances, creating uniform fusion along the entire length without start-stop defects.
Circular Seam Welding Precision
Girth welding applications include:
Cylindrical Pressure Vessels: End closure seams
Pipe Manufacturing: Weld neck connections
Storage Cylinder Production: Seamless circumferential joints
Heat Exchanger Shells: Tube-to-shell transitions
Rotating mandrel fixtures ensure perfect concentricity while servo-driven wheels maintain constant force and current density.
Key Manufacturing Advantages
Leak-Proof Integrity: Helium leak testing consistently passes 10^-6 mbar*l/s standards
High Throughput: Production rates up to 10m/min for thin materials
Material Versatility: Stainless steel, galvanized, aluminum alloys, titanium
Process Monitoring: Real-time feedback prevents porosity and incomplete fusion
Automation Ready: PLC integration with robotic material handling
