Wide-Lap Seam Welders

Coil Width: 20" to 80" (508 mm to 2030 mm)

Coil Thickness: .002" to .080" (0.05 mm to 2.0 mm)

Applications:
A Wide-Lap Weld configuration is the same as the Limited Overlap, except that strip ends are widely , over-lapped, i.e., 5-1/2" to 6" (140 mm to 152 mm) and two rows of welds are made on five inch centers. It is best suited for lines where the joint will not be recoiled and where the "pocket" created between the rows of welds is not objectionable.

Description:
Taylor-Winfield Wide-Lap Welders employ a traveling-type welding unit with two side-by-side, wheel-type copper alloy electrodes that roll across the lapped strip ends. The welding force is sustained by a conductive platen which underlies the strip ends. This secondary circuit remains constant regardless of strip width, eliminating troublesome sliding electrical contacts.

The two wheel-type electrodes operate simultaneously and can be adjusted to make roll spot or roll stop welds. Built-in gauging and clamping devices provide for proper coil end location. A machine-mounted, single-cut shear any many other mechanical and electrical options are offered to meet individual processing requirements.

Of the many types of coiling joining welders offered by Taylor-Winfield, the Wide Lap Seam Welders have been the most popular choice. The reasons for its popularity are: low cost; fast, efficient operation; versatility of application; single design; rugged, trouble-free construction and low maintenance. Over 230 Wide-Lap Seam Welders have been furnished to the steel mills of the world.
