Band Saw Blade, Wire Butt Welding Machine

Welding Process:
- The Saw Blades or Wire Ends to be joined should be cut straight, exactly at right angles and free from burrs on special shearing attachment (optional equipment)
- Welding Current, Upsetting Pressure and Upsetting Way are set according to the blade width
- The blade ends are rigidly clamped in special quick acting clamps provided on the machine
- By depressing the welding lever, the welding process begins
- The two ends are heated to forging temperatures in a few seconds and are then automatically forged (upset). The welding current switches off automatically
- The job is de-clamped and the weld completed

Process for Annealing: The upsetting way switch lever is now turned to annealing and the job is clamped again with the extended jaw distance which comes in automatically on flipping the lever to annealing position.
- By pressing the annealing switch on which two heat positions are provided, the job is annealed in order to normalize the brittleness of the welded area.
- Depending on the type of material, the annealing process should be repeated several times if need be.

Shearing Attachment (optional): Special shears with arrangement for mounting on the front of the machine are available

Grinding Attachment (optional): Grinding attachment mounted on top of the machine is necessary for removing the welding flash
