Micro Butt Welder

J. K. Weld introduced for the benefit of the entire wire processing industries a series of Micro Butt Welding Machines specially designed for butt welding of ferrous and non ferrous wires in the range of 3.0 to 2.50 mm dia, to withstand subsequent drawing. This machines are designed as table models and constructed with particular regard for easy operation. The automatic welding process guarantees high tensile and uniform weld, depending upon the material to be welded and the size of wire, seven different models are available; four models for the welding of iron, steel and nickel wires and two models for the welding of Copper, Brass, Bronze and Aluminum wires. Shearing device and illuminated magnifier are available as standard option extras.

WELDING PROCESS these micro butt welders are automatic upset butt welding machines. The ends of wires to be joined are "prepared" on the special shearing attachment provided. The welding current and the initial upset gap are set accordingly to the size of wire, the upsetting pressure being preset at works. The wire ends are then rigidly clamped by special quick acting clamps and viewed through an illuminated magnifying glass provided, to ensure correct alignment of the wire ends. By depressing a push button, the welding cycle is initiated and completed automatically by built in control. The weld is completed; the job is no de-clamped and annealed if necessary in the annealing.
