Type WES Resistance Upset Machine for Knife Manufacturing
The Type WES can operate as a stand-alone machine or be integrated into an automated production line with robotic handling.
In automated systems, the formed upset bead is removed by robot and transferred to the next production step, creating a continuous manufacturing process.
Advantages of the Type WES for the Knife Industry

More InformationType WES Resistance Upset Welding Machine Overview
The Type WES is a specialized resistance upset welding machine for industrial knife manufacturing. Rather than joining two parts, it forms the knife bolster before forging.
The WES creates the upset bead (bolster) that initiates the forging process, serving as the transition between resistance upset forming and blade shaping.
The WES can be used as a stand-alone system or integrated into automated production lines with robotic handling.
