Manufacturers of Copper Tape welding machines

Interested if any members could recommend the manufacturer of an automatic machine for cutting and welding flat copper tapes used as screens in electrical cables. The weld should be strong enough to survive forming around the cable core. The edges of the tape will be trimmed.

The best longitudinal welding machine is manufactured in China and we hope the following contact information is still valid.

I suggest you contact Mr. Jimmy Jin, General Manager, once you have a proper technical specification. (Materials, widths, thickness range and so on.)

Here is a quotation from July 2012

“We’ve supplied more than 80 sets of TIG Welding Aluminum Sheathing Lines to our customers. 15 sets of them were supplied to our overseas customers such as NKT Germany, General Cable Spain, France and Mexico as well as Thailand plants, VISCAS Japan, and other customers in India and Korea.”

Copper would also be TIG longitudinal welding process and should be no problem for Chengdu Liachi Electrician Co Ltd.

Nexans Kabelmetal also manufactured and sold longitudinal copper welding lines but their license is far, far too restrictive as far as sales areas, etc. Although their machines are very good, we do not recommend them as a supplier.

The North American sales representative for Nexans Kabelmetal was:

Cable Consultants Corp

There may be a different representative for Nexans machinery today but Cable Consultants Corp can direct you to them.
