Abstract

A band welding installation includes a welding machine having a control device and a welding torch for joining ends of pieces in a band processing line transverse to the direction of the band run. At least two sensor units are coupled ahead of the torch for determining the seam beginning and end, and for guiding the torch along the joint center, as well as controlling the torch angle of inclination for different band thicknesses.
