The ME Zipwelder is on the forefront of strip joining technology and is clearly the worlds most technically advanced shear welder. This fully automatic welding machine was developed with the intention of reducing operator involvement and increasing Mill up-time by reducing weld failures.A patented process makes coil joining easy and efficient. We recommend the ME Zipwelder for coils upto 1500mm wide and from 0.15 to 19 mm thick. Both coil ends are initially clamped, sheared simultaneously, then automatically indexed to proper welding position and welded. Guilds exclusive adjustable weld gap control permits the operator to pre-select the correct gap for the material being welded.The ME Zipwelder was designed for use on either startstop or continuous lines for welding a wide range of alloys including stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum.Save time and money while increasing worker safety with a Guild ME Zipwelder on your strip processing line.

ME ZIPWELDER EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:The ME Zipwelder utilizes the most advanced welding methods available including Tungsten Inert Gas (T.I.G.) and Metallic Inert Gas (M.I.G.). This Zipwelder was engineered to join coil ends on many different process lines such as:

• Pickling
• Stamping
• Coil Buildup
• Rolling Mill
• Tube/Pipe Mill
• Slitting
• Anneal & Pickle
• Galvanizing
• Others

The ME Zipwelder was designed and built to provide a fast, accurate means of automatically joining coils on all types of strip processing lines. This not only increases line productivity, but also eliminates the hazardous manual feeding of new coils into your operating line.

The flattener is used to take the coil set out of the lead and tail end of the coil during feed-up and tail out. It is designed to handle strip up to about 36" in width.

SF SPEED FUNNEL EXCLUSIVE BENEFITS:

• Eliminate cumbersome peeler blades.
• Eliminate cumbersome strip center supports.
• Quick and easy threading of new coil end into next piece of equipment.
• Increased mill uptime.

UNC Uncoiler is available in both single and double arm units. These machines feature heavy duty fabricated steel construction and are designed to operate on many different types of processing lines including roll form lines to high speed tube and pipe mills. The uncoilers are available with many options to fit your specific application.
The UNC Uncoiler is a machine that is used to hold the coils straight to allow the gradual unwind of the coils during press operations. Most of the times the uncoilers that are mostly used in steel making are available in the sizes of 15, 000 lb single and 25, 000 lb double. However, there are a variety of uncoilers available in sizes ranging from 3, 000 lb – 40, 000 lb

Strip-N-Metal offers a complete line of coil end welding machines for almost any tube & pipe production application. We produce a full line of accumulators, uncoilers, speed funnels, and flatteners. Plus our team of engineers can help you determine your needs to ensure proper equipment design and compatibility with your existing equipment.
Did you know that the downtime created by mill stoppage for entry end coil changeover can be as much as 20 to 40 percent of the actual runtime? Or, are you aware that the scrap generated during the changeover process could account for 1 to 5 percent of your total production?One way to eliminate the waste and increase production on a tube or pipe mill is to add a strip accumulator to the entry end of your line. With our advanced horizontal accumulator designs, your line can run continuously, eliminating costly downtime caused by entry end coil changeover.

EXCLUSIVE BENEFITS OF ACCUMULATOR

• Operation is fully automatic.
• Flow-thru design eliminates reverse bending of strip.
• Once the unit is filled, the entry section reduces its speed and runs at same speed of process line, assuring accumulator is full when end of coil is reached.
• As tail end comes off the uncoiler, the entry section stops and the line continues to run, removing strip from accumulator system.

• Advanced weld carriage designed for fast and accurate welding and low maintenance.
• Manual and pneumatic clamping systems designed for maximum efficiency.
• Posiive Guide three blade pneumatic shear improves quality and reduces blade wear cost.
• Pedal controls ensure ease of use and operator safety.
• Control panel comes equipped with multiple Safety features.
• Exclusive ergonomic design and features to help operators reach higher levels of productivity.
• Engineering and manufacturing services to meet your specific welding needs.

We offer the most compact semi-automatic shearwelder. The PSA 2000 is ideally suited for small tube mill, roll form lines and stamping presses.

The unique C frame portable design allows this machine to be used for multiple line regardless of strip flow, cutting its already low justification cost in half or even thirds.

PSA 2000 EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:

A tungsten height gauge is provided that ensures proper setting of the tungsten electrode every time. For proper weld fit up, a built in automatic gauge bar is provided with Guild Patented split elevating backup bars. Competing designs require the operator to manually insert the gauge bar properly and then remove it for every weld.
Providing properly sized air cylinders for clamping provide over 200 more clamping force than others. These cylinders are mounted at the rear of the machine and preventing damage from strip and allowing the operator more work space during welding. Clamping and shearing actuation is by foot valves so the strip can be held with both hands by the operator.
Solenoid operated clamping bar makes for simple automatic torch traverse. This feature eliminates the need for Jog Forward and Jog Reverse buttons, forward and reverses weld carriage motor relays, and weld start limit switch.
Pneumatic powered three blade shear for distortion free shearing with two (2) die spring loaded stripper pads to hold the strip during shearing for straight cut.Automatic V.C.R. relay senses that the welding arc is correctly established before the welding carriage is allowed to travel.
Fused Disconnect is standard on all PSA Control Panels. Step-down transformer is also standard. Only one (1) electrical line is required.
Quick Change backup bars are provided. Only one screw at the front of the machine is required to remove each bar. Both L-R or R-L strip flows are handled easily with the automatic built-in gage bar.
