Full-scale production ring welding machine

The full-scale production ring welding machine is a fully autonomous solution for welding strands into rings. A bundle of precut strands can be loaded manually into a buffer which gives sufficient autonomy to the production line. They are then automatically loaded into the line. Optionally the length of the strand can be controlled and adjusted automatically. The strands are then introduced into the different welding units. The welding unit molds are machined with high precision and allow a perfect fit with the strands. This prevents the welding process to cause any burrs and ensures a very strong welding resistance after the cooling process.

The mold design is adapted in accordance with the strands and rings dimensional and material properties. Each mold temperature is controlled individually to match a perfect repeatability of the process. To reduce the process cycle time, a cooling system is also integrated into the mold.
