You operate one of the following manufacturing lines:

Inspection line
Galvanizing system (electrolytic or galvanic)
Coil coating system (organic coating, also as multilayer)
Pickling line
Rolling train
Continuous annealing system

The demands on coil joining increase permanently:

Weld seams must not show an excessive thickness
Welding seams must resist all following processes, such as rolling out and deep-drawing
High-quality materials of high
strength or high silicium fraction have to be processed
Coated materials have to be joined
Different materials and sheet thicknesses have to be joined

All these requirements can be solved with an IDEAL Transversal Seam Welding Machine.

A perfect weld groove is one condition for a good laser weld seam

Thus: seam preparation of the strip ends which have to be welded by laser cutting.

(available in IDEAL machines only)


Advantages of laser cutting

Rectangular cutting edge over the whole sheet thickness and width
Oxide- and hardening-free cutting edge over the whole thickness and width
Similar cutting quality and cutting force for all strength of materials
( upto 1600 N/mm² )
No wearing as there is no mechanical contact and only minimal gas force on the material
