replacement grooved rolls that will work in the current configuration.

weld/anneal control; primary voltage compensation for unstable mains supply systems; secondary voltage calibration to harmonise operation of several welding machines in the same factory; and monitoring of relevant welding parameters for quality recognition and documentation. The second generation of controls offers constant current control (KSR/50Hz over 60Hz) to reduce the influences on the weld quality due to temperature, contact, material or cutting quality. Especially important for welding large quantities, it offers zero-gap adjustment of the clamping tools to each other, so there is no need for regular review or setting of the air gap to optimise the deburring result, all of which provides for a longer lifetime of the jaw inserts. The fields of use are diverse, involving welding solid wires or rods directly at the wire feed to ensure continuous production, or joining different classes of stranded products (class 2 to class 5, for example), or even stranded to solid material or shaped parts to strips, etc. These models can be adapted to cover mass production in the clients’ manufacturing lines, performing welds every 15-30 seconds, depending on material/dimensions, in shift operation and self-sufficient.

August Strecker Booth: 1005

Germany’s August Strecker GmbH & Co KG reports a great step forward for its dual upset buttwelders with automatic deburring, in particular the company’s control technology Full-Parameter- Control (FPC), the latest developments being the FPC EVO2 and FPC EVO2 Zero Gap models.

The first generation was noteworthy for easy and safe storing of customer-specific or material-specific welding recipes; menu-guidance, easy-to-understand in a number of different languages; improved quality by fixing programs with automatic selection (no manual setting of pressures, capacities and times); complete functionality identical to Strecker V20

The machines are manufactured with a high grade of automation, and are fast
