Applications:
The TwinLap is a high speed joining process. It is the welder of choice for Anneal &
Pickle, Coil Build Up, Coil Preparation, Galvanizing, and Recoiling Lines. The weld passes through Temper Mills and Tension Leveling equipment without releasing pressure on the strip! When minimal weld
over-
thickness is required, and the strip thickness is less than 3.5mm for full hard materials (4.0mm for soft material), the TwinLap is the best solution.
The TwinLap is the welder of choice for companies processing automotive grade materials. It is a proven andrelaible process that is more cost
effective than TIG, MIG, “Mash” seam welding or Laser welding.
Benefits:
- Forgiving welding process compared to Laser and other joining processes.
- Skilled Trade personnel do not need extensive training to operate and maintain the welder.
- No need to release tension in your mill to pass the weld - creates a “Rollable Weld”.
- Less concerned about weld breaking when moving across strip support and tension rolls.
- In may applications, the weld does not have to be removed before subsequent processing - coating, annealing, or galvanizing the strip.
- No damage to seals, rolls or bearings when passing the weld through the line.
- Less waste and scrap.
- Lower initial investment, operating and maintenance costs than TIG, MIG or Laser welding systems.
- Fast cycle time - typically less than 60 seconds for maximum width and thickness.
Mechanical Features:
- Rugged “0” or “C” frame configurations
- Durable “Oil Bath” welding heads with quick change weld wheel feature.
- High precision pneumatic or hydraulic dual resquaring shear with four sided cutting blades.
- Pneumatic or hydraulic entry and exit clamps with quick change clamp liners.
- Urethane clamp inserts to prevent strip slippage and separation.
- Precision linear motion control of welding carriage.
- Automatic scrap removal.
