My customer is looking for a machine with 1000KVA, 200tons upset force and 100,000sq mm surface flash butt welding machines for super alloy. Who are capable to supply the appropriate machine in the world? I know Automation International is. Are there other sources?

Try A-I Welders of Inverness Scotland. They specialize in custom built machines,
