MACHINE FOR JOINING THE ENDS OF STEEL STRIPS WHICH MACHINE IS SUITED TO THE INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT OF JOINING WELDS

摘要

The invention relates to an adapter intended to join the ends of successive strips (11, 12) in a strip handling equipment and to an apparatus for welding a first end of the strip (11) to a second end of another strip And a pair of symmetrically arranged clamping jaws 21,22,31,32 each having a first pair of clamping jaws 21,31 which are capable of holding the first end of the strip 11 A second upper clamping jaw 21 and a first lower clamping jaw 31 and a second pair of clamping jaws 22 and 32 includes a second upper clamping jaw 21, Wherein the clamping jaws 22,32,31,21 comprise a clamping jaw 22 and a second lower clamping jaw 32 which are connected to the first end of the strip 11, Wherein said at least two clamping jaws (21, 22, 31, 32) of said two pairs of clamping jaws are adapted to hold and position said end of another strip (12) (222, 322, 212, 312) that can be brought into contact with one of the ends of the strip (11) Characterized by at least one component material and a geometric shape that can reduce the strength of the vortex that can be created in the clamping jaw.
