ITW Pillar Technologies Granted Patent for Innovative Induction Sealing Coil Connection
Hartland, WI, November 19, 2015 — ITW Pillar Technologies, a leading manufacturer of advanced induction cap sealing and surface treatment systems, has been granted a US patent pertaining to an innovative and quick connection between the sealing coil and the power source for ITW Pillar’s new iFoiler™ Induction Cap Sealing System.
Specifically, ITW Pillar devised an efficient and secure method for a sealing coil to reliably connect to electrical contacts from the power supply cabinet with the use of an ingenious guiding mechanism which includes a locking mechanism at an end of the guide rails that prevents movement of the sealing head when the pairs of electrical contacts are electrically connected.
According to Brad Budde, Sales Manager for ITW Pillar Technologies’ induction sealing systems, “This patented innovation further positions the iFoiler™ as the most state-of-the-art induction sealing solution available. This solid connection feature also serves to save significant set-up time and ensure production line up-time.”
