VS32 Steel Strapping Head
VS 32-VS32 Steel Strapping Head The VS32 strapping head is ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring extremely high strap tensions and joint efficiencies. In addition, the small case plate allows for the strapping of small packages. The VS32 strapping head is particularly suitable for strapping of steel coils around the circumference or through the eye or on slit coils with low winding height or stacked without wooden layers. It is also widely used on tube bundles with small flat surfaces or tube sections and also on wire bundles and coils

The VS32 strapping head uses the Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process already widely used in the automotive industry around the world. The welds are made contactless by an electric arc under inert gas. A Tungsten electrode strikes the arc, which melts and joins the two overlapped strap parts.

Advantages of the spot weld joint
  • Maximum safety through double welds delivering sealing performances of up to 90% of the breaking load of the strap
  • Safe, electronically controlled operation of the electrode
  • Full penetration welding
  • Cold and flat joint, limiting possible damage to the package
  • No transfer of heat onto the package during the welding process
  • Suitable for use with stainless steel strap
