Abstract

A splicing machine for connecting metallic bands including at least three toolings determining successively the cutting profile of both edges (m1, m2) to be connected, the welding of both edges on to one another and the flattening of the welded matter in excess. The machine includes a tool carriage (3) mounted to slide parallel to the running direction of the bands (M1, M2) on which are mounted to slide, perpendicular to the running direction, at least two supporting chassis (41, 51), each for one of the connecting toolings (4,5), a motor and a worm (32) for positioning either connecting tooling (4,5) in a common working position, by sliding the tool carriage (3) and apparatus to control the transversal sliding motion of the corresponding tooling for the actuation of the latter.
