Continuous prodn. of welded mesh, esp. in reinforcement mats - in which long and cross wires are continuously drawn from reels and wire ends are electromagnetically joined reel=to=reel without stopping mesh welding machine

摘要

Process comprises automatically weld joining wire ends and providing adequate wire supply without stopping the operation of the mesh welder. Pref. the wire supply required for automatic welding of wire ends is accumulated in two or more controlled loops. Alternativley, the draw-off direction from the reel is reversed and an automatic butt welding unit travels with the wire for the duration of the butt welding operation. USE/ADVANTAGE - Used in the mfr. of welded mesh, esp. reinforcing mats, in which the long and cross wires are continuously drawn from reels. Allows wire ends to be joined reel-to-reel without stopping the mesh welding machine.
