SELF-HEALING MACHINE
CONCEPT
Before the strip ends are welded together, the position
and geometry of the welding gap are measured.
If there are any deviations in position or geometry
due to wear or wrong alignment of machine components,
the welding traversing unit adapts to the new
conditions and automatically brings the welding head
into the correct position.
In this way, the weld seam is always positioned
exactly on the joint, which prevents the weld seam
from breaking. Furthermore, repairs can be postponed
until the
next scheduled
maintenance
shutdown
because errors
can be corrected
by the welding
traversing unit
