WELD
The weld that is created with this machine is made by overlapping
the 2 coil ends, and rolling a copper wheel across
the overlapped area. Current passes from the wheel
through the overlapped strip ends, and a weld nugget
is formed, joining the ends together. On light gage
material, the nuggets that are formed are very close
together, and the weld appears as a seam. On heavier
gages, the weld appears as a series of spots across
the strip. The thickness of the weld is equal to the
sum of the strip thickness. The amount of overlap that
is made can vary depending on options that are purchased,
but can be as little as about .375" (10mm) on light
gage material. Since the weld is made using electrical
resistance, the strip ends should be free of rust,
scale, and other debris.
