Zipwelders

The ZipweldersTM are considered one of the most advanced shear welder in the world today. These fully automatic welding machines were developed with an intention to reduce the operator involvement and increase mill uptime by reducing weld failures. The ZipweldersTM are designed for use on either start/stop or continuous lines like pickling lines, tube/pipe mill, coil buildup, galvanizing lines, and annealing and pickling lines. Zipwelders are used in a variety of applications such as stamping, tube/pipe mill, and many types of steel and stainless steel process lines. These machines can also be used for welding a wide range of alloys including stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, and aluminum.

The modern day RCM Zipwelders make use of some of the most advanced welding methodologies such as Tungsten Inert Gas (T.I.G.) welding, Plasma welding, Metallic Inert Gas (M.I.G.) welding, and last but no the least Laser Beam welding. The uniqueness about the Zipwelders is that they can shear and butt weld a variety of materials at varied range of thickness be it 0.15mm (.006") to about 25mm (1.00") and as wide as necessary. With the advent of new technology, newly developed Zipwelders machines can weld any type of weldable material, and have the capability to weld metals up to 2,400mm wide.

Another major example of innovation in ZipweldersTM is the ME 500-28 Zipwelder™. This Zipwelder is a computer operated automatic welder, equipped with an exit pinch roll. The ME 500-28 Zipwelder™ has been designed in such a manner that it can cut through a steel coil end up to 12.7mm (.500") thick and 700mm wide (28") from a steel coil. When operated in automatic mode, the trailing coil end automatically stops in the shear opening, whereas the exit side guides center the strip automatically, allowing the exit weld clamp to close down automatically. The operator feeds the leading steel coil into the Zipwelder™, and then the entry sides and entry weld clamp closes. The specialty of Zipwelder™ is that it automatically shears the two coil ends, and automatically makes an MIG weld based on the selection as per the on-board computer which controls not just the weld gap, wire speed, weld speed, but also the welding voltage. As with shear welder, these ZipweldersTM can be similarly custom designed, as per the requirement of the customer.
