Laser Cross Welding
Laser cross welding
SLT series laser cross welders for perfect, precise, economic and efficient welding of a wide variety of tape materials, thicknesses and coil and steel sheet widths.
The SLT series cross welders are especially designed to be used in all kinds of situations as a stand-alone machine or for in-line processes. SLT series welds thin and thick alloys as well as coated and uncoated metal tapes, coils and large sheets in a fully automated cutting, positioning and butt welding process. Featuring consistency, replication and high quality of the welds.
Applications
Butt welding / joining of wide steel coils, Combining wide steel sheets, Wide industrial alloy production lines, Service centers for wide coil slitting operations, Steel sheet service centers
Features and benefits
• Minimal foot print – narrow – wide machine
