Traverse-wound strip consists of coils which are welded together using the WIG process and then wound onto a drum or core. Depending on the strip width, considerably longer strip lengths can be achieved than with individual coils. The excellent quality of the welds allows the operator to continuously run the strip through the stamping tools without causing disruption, thus reducing down time. Depending on the design, the stamped parts located at the weld seam may not be fully suitable for the intended function, therefore the welds can be marked in colour if required.
- on steel, wooden or plastic cores with side flanges
