Joining Technologies, Inc., an innovator in industrial laser applications, now introduces its latest innovation – Infinite Web™ 355 – a laser cutting and welding system for splicing iron and nickel-based strip alloys. The unique all-in-one design incorporates laser welding and cutting with a single head. “It’s a quantum leap from the splicing equipment currently seen in the metal converting plants” according to company president Dave Hudson. The system offers a user friendly, streamlined design with optimal safety features. As implied by its name, the Infinite Web™ joins leading and trailing edges of metal coils in strip processing lines to create a continuous feed with no downtime associated with rethreading and realignment.
With the ability to service multiple converting lines, the Infinite Web™ 355 is a truly mobile, standalone system requiring only one electrical input and minimal operator involvement. The industrial PC-based control system features a touch screen interface, canned programs for selected alloys and proprietary self diagnostics to ensure optimal uptime.
The Infinite Web™ is designed to handle a large range of material thicknesses and widths. It uses coaxial optics to verify proper positioning and provide precise and accurate splices. When asked to describe the significance of the machine Dave Hudson states “The Infinite Web™ is poised to change the metal converting industry forever”.
