SGT HD120 pneumatic conductor butt welding machine for 35-120 square millimetre conductor

Jointing Stranded Conductor Inside a Welding Chamber

A homogeneous pore-free and burr-free joint that goes into the extruder nozzle with only minor dressing.

The Workflow

Five Steps From Problem to Running Line

  1. LoadBoth conductor ends are placed in the crucible so they touch. Crucible material follows the conductor cross-section and the machine output.
  2. HeatA flowing current brings both ends to plastic condition.
  3. ForgeThe ends are forced together under a constant feed rate — mechanically on the HD016, pneumatically on the HD120.
  4. ReleaseThe crucible is shattered, leaving a clean smooth surface that is hardly thicker than the conductor.
  5. ExtrudeOnly minor post-treatment is required before the joint is drawn into the inlet nozzle of the extruder.

FAQ

Stranded Conductor Jointing Questions

How long does this take to put in place

The machines and dies are standard products, so the schedule is set by die manufacture for your wire sizes and by the voltage build on motorised machines. Both are confirmed on quotation.

Do we have to change every machine at once

No. The usual route is one size, one block or one line first. Record the current die change frequency and joint failure rate, then compare on the same wire.

What do you need from us to quote this

The wire materials and diameters, the section shape, the machines already on the floor, and the electrical supply. Everything else follows from that.

Can dies be made for machines we already own

Yes. SGT welding dies are the industry standard type and are suitable for comparable cold pressure welders from other manufacturers.
