Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011131253A1] The present invention relates to a joining machine intended for joining the ends of successive strips (11, 12) in a strip treatment installation, said joining machine comprising the device that welds a first end of a strip (11) to a second end of another strip (12), two pairs of respectively symmetrically arranged clamping jaws (21, 22, 31, 32), a first pair of clamping jaws (21, 31) comprising a first upper clamping jaw (21) and a first lower clamping jaw (31) which are capable of gripping said first end of strip (11), and a second pair of clamping jaws (22, 32) comprising a second upper clamping jaw (22) and a second lower clamping jaw (32) which are capable of gripping said second end of strip (12), said clamping jaws (21, 22, 31, 32) being intended to hold and to position said first end of strip (11) facing said second end of strip (12) so that said ends of strip (11, 12) can be welded together, characterized in that at least two clamping jaws (21, 22, 31, 32) of said two pairs of clamping jaws each comprise a part (222, 322, 212, 312) capable of contacting one of said ends of strip (11) that is intended to be welded to another end of strip (12), said part (222, 322, 212, 312) being characterized by a geometry and at least one constituent material each of which is able to reduce the strength of the eddy currents likely to be created in said clamping jaw as a result of electromagnetic induction.
