Butt welding Copper Strands

24-10 AWG
0.2-6.0 mm2

Butt welding solid round Copper Wires

Diameter
0.8 - 2.5 mm
.031 - .0985 inch

The machine produces strong, flash-free, welds of bare or tinned copper strand which can be made accurately enough to pass through an insulation extruding die without the necessity of any manual deburring measures. The welding unit is conveniently mounted on a wheeled stand, with the welding transformer and all critical components enclosed and protected within the unit's frame.

Welding jaws are multi-grooved, and adjustable, to provide the proper clamping force for the full range of strand diameters. Jaw clamping action is operated by foot pedals which leave both hands free for manipulation of the weld piece.

Welding current is set on an eight tap rotary switch. Settings for welding jaw distance and travel, and upset pressure, are conveniently located alongside the welding jaws. In preparation for welding, the two ends of strand are inserted into each end of an accurately dimensioned length of disposable tube made from non-conductive ceramic or glass. The weld piece is then clamped firmly in the welding jaws (with the tube centered) and the automatically controlled weld cycle is initiated. Flash-free welds are obtained as the tube contains the molten material flow during the weld cycle. After welding, the tube is broken open and removed from the welded strand.

Strecker machines are delivered with a 5 year guarantee (on mechanical parts which do not contact the weld piece) and are ready for connection to the specified voltage.
