Joining Technologies Inc. announces plans to add new features and functionality to its innovative Infinite Web all-in-one coil joiner. The system is noted for its non-contact splicing process that incorporates laser cutting and welding with a single head. The new features will enable the splicing of Titanium coils as well as splicing on a 15 degree bias as an alternative to forming perpendicular joints.
The Infinite Web dramatically increases throughput, with some customers reporting a greater than 33 percent increase in plant-wide productivity resulting from improved efficiency and capabilities. With the ability to service multiple converting lines, the Infinite Web is a mobile, stand-alone system requiring only an electrical input and minimal operator involvement. The industrial PC-based control system features a touch screen interface, predefined programs for selected alloys, and proprietary self-diagnostics to ensure optimal uptime.
Designed by welders to handle material thicknesses from 0.002-inch to 0.040-inch, the Infinite Web uses coaxial optics to verify proper positioning and provide precise and accurate splices. Both cutting and welding operations are automatic and non-contact.
