Abstract

An automatic detection system that ensures automatic association (1) of a restraining device and ECU (2 and 3) that can prevent poor practice when welding any Electrofusion joint of any nature by detecting the restraining/clamping device is in the correct place for correct welding, by applying a voltage (for example) (Sheet 1) or sending or receiving a signal by any means from the device to the ECU and checking the associated restraining /clamping device is in evidence (Sheet 2) and either allowing the weld to commence or disabling the possibility of welding until the device(s) are associated (4) offering correct restraining/clamping/electrofusion procedures to the work being carried out, and confidence in the welded joint, operator control and asset owner(s).
