Strip and Batch Electron Beam Welding Machines
Continuous strip and batch welders are suitable for large production batches and for joining two or three dissimilar metals.
A batch or continuous strip machine will allow you to weld continuous strips, rather than individual components – reducing labour and material costs.
Typical components include:
- Metal strips
- Sensors
- Relays
This process is used in many industries.
Batch Model
The batch model has high-efficiency and is suitable for bi-metallic or tri-metallic welding. Find full details below or download the datasheet.
