Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cable production device, and in particular to an integrated automatic cutting and welding machine for aluminum strips. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional cable production process, the continuous supply of aluminum strips is a key link. Aluminum strips are usually used in a rolled form. When a roll of aluminum strip is exhausted, the front end of a new roll of aluminum strip needs to be connected to the tail end of the old roll to ensure the continuity of production. At present, the connection of aluminum strips is mainly completed by manual cutting and welding. This method has the following problems:

[0003] Low efficiency: Manual operation requires a large amount of time and labor, reducing the production efficiency.

[0004] Insufficient accuracy: Manual cutting and welding are difficult to ensure precise alignment and welding quality, and are prone to welding defects.
