The beer keg welding machine
The beer keg welding machine supplements the case welding machine and is integrated into the same production line as the SWA 400. Two deep drawn half shells are leak proof welded together and therefore is the small version of our Contour II fuel tank welding machine. The system can weld two sizes of keg inner shells and the positioning of the welding operation is fully automated.
The patented and continually improved Soutec copper wire, intermediate electrode system with its wire profile specially adapted to the material that enables a virtually faultless weld even with the latest complex coating systems. Exterior cooling is not necessary and the roller heads are maintenance free.
The weld current is controlled (specially designed for Soutec mash-seam welders) together with the monitor supported PLC and CNC machine controls. This guarantees safe production even under the toughest manufacturing conditions common in industrial mass production.
The Pulsar, a static frequency converter enables a multitude of current patterns, frequencies and currents for an easy weld set up. The perks also lay in the design to allow for a 3 phase hook up and equal load (high efficient) is distributed on the power network with negligent interference to the network.
