While the precision German engineering of the Eddychek 5® won’t get you from Dusseldorf to Wiesbaden in 68 minutes, installing one on your tube mill can accelerate your journey to profits.

That’s because the all-digital Eddychek 5 continuously monitors the seam welding process and instantly warns the operator of deteriorating weld conditions, so that corrective action can be taken to reduce scrap and improve quality.

Harsh tube mill conditions are no problem for the Eddychek 5. It’s built Panzer-tank tough, with a sealed electronics enclosure that’s lined in stainless steel and requires no air conditioning.

And the E5 is as easy to use as it is rugged. A color touchscreen display with user-friendly “help” screens in 15 different languages makes setup wunderbar!

The Eddychek 5 is available in North America exclusively through Eddy Tech Systems, Inc. Our staff of highly experienced engineers can help you solve your toughest applications problems. So call Eddy Tech Systems today, and see how the Eddychek 5 can put the über in your profitability.
