Welders by the Taylor-Winfield Corporation

COIL JOINING & MILL PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

T-W was one of the first to provide fully automated coil joining systems incorporating resistance welding or arc welding and post induction heating processes. T-W has established itself as an innovator in this field.

SELECTION WELDTYPE LINE APPLICATIONS

In selecting the equipment to meet your specific coil joining
requirements, the primary considerations are strip width,
thickness and type of steel, and speed at which it is to be processed.

With little more than this basic information, Taylor-Winfield engineers can determine the required weld strength and the
joint configuration that will achieve it. In addition, they will see that the joint is completed within the available time frame and that is flows smoothly through subsequent processing and recoiling.

Basically, there are two ways in which the strip ends, after shearing can be arranged for welding: directly abutting or overlapping.

In a directly abutted joint, the finished weld is approximately the same thickness as the strip. This type of joint flows smoothly through processing and can be rolled or recoiled without marring or damaging adjacent coil wraps.

An overlapped joint, when completed, will range from full double thickness down to nearly single thickness. Double-thick joints are used primarily for threading a new coil through the processing line and are most often remove prior to final processing.

In addition to the two basic joining configurations, Taylor-Winfield offers a patented Prep/Lap joining technique that combines the advantages of both: smoothness and flatness, plus exceptional joint strength.

Each techinque has many variations that meet a wide range of special requirements. The most popular weld configurations are profiled in the diagram to the right.
