Arc Welding Machine for Strip Widths from 8 to 1800 mm

The Type LBS is designed for precision strip welding of metal strip from 8 to 1800 mm wide. Depending on the application, it can operate with or without filler metal and with optional cold wire feed.

MIG/MAG, TIG, and Plasma welding processes are available, allowing the machine to be optimized for the material, strip thickness, strip width, and required weld quality.

Short welding cycle times support efficient production lines. The shear developed by Ideal precisely prepares strip ends to create an optimum contact surface for high weld quality.

Adjustable weld angles can improve strip tensile strength, making the machine ideal where precise strip joints, short process times, and reliable downstream processing are essential.

Advantages of the Type LBS Arc Welding Machine for Your Strip Processing

The Type LBS supports industrial manufacturing where precise strip joints, short welding cycles, and reliable downstream processing are essential.

  • Flexible welding processes: MIG/MAG, TIG, and Plasma welding provide application-specific solutions.
  • Adjustable weld angle for narrow strip: 7°, 15°, 45°, and 90° for strip widths from 8–40 mm.
  • Minimal weld bead: Flattening rollers or milling reduce weld bead height for clean downstream processing.
  • Suitable for electrical steel: Designed for electrical steel from 0.23 mm thickness.

Applications of the Type LBS Arc Welding Machine in Industrial Processing Lines

The Type LBS is designed for industrial production lines where metal strip is continuously processed, joined, and fed downstream. It supports strip welding in steel, aluminum, automotive, and supplier industries.

Type LBS Arc Welding Machine Overview

The Type LBS combines strip welding, cutting, and seam flattening into a coordinated machine concept for industrial strip processing. Depending on the model, it can be configured for narrow, medium, or wide strip.

The various LBS models cover a wide range of strip widths, strip thicknesses, and materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.

A key advantage is its flexible process configuration. MIG/MAG, TIG, Plasma, operation with or without filler metal, and optional cold wire feed allow optimization for each application.

For manufacturers requiring reliable strip joining with immediate downstream processing, the Type LBS provides a future-ready strip welding solution. Precise seam preparation, reduced weld bead, and semi- or fully automated operation support stable production and high process reliability.
