Seam Welding – When the Wheel Leads

Components for seam welding. Precisely manufactured, quickly available and tailored to your production. For seams that stay tight under pressure.

Welding Method

Seam Welding: Process, Advantages and Application Areas

In resistance seam welding, overlapping workpieces are pressed together by rotating wheel electrodes. The welding current is directed into the joint area. Electrical resistance generates heat, causing the material to melt locally. The continuous movement of the electrodes produces a series of overlapping weld nuggets, which merge into a tight, continuous seam.

The method enables short cycle times cost-effective production of long weld seams. It is commonly used in automotive manufacturing, equipment and vessel fabrication, and general metalworking, for example on body panels, tanks, pipe joints, and housings.

Product Overview

  • Welding wheels and rings for resistance seam welding

    Seam Welding Electrodes

    Seam welding electrodes conduct welding current and contact force precisely along the seam line. Available in WIRBALIT® HF (CuCr1Zr) or WIRBALIT® D (CuNi₂.₅SiCr).

  • Connection Cables

    Connection cables transfer welding current from the power source to the welding gun with minimal loss. Available as air- or water-cooled versions made of Cu-ETP or oxygen-free copper (OFC).

  • Shunt straps for welding systems

    Shunt Straps

    Shunt straps transfer welding current between electrode arms and the welding gun while compensating for movement during the process. Made of stacked copper laminations, available in standard dimensions or as custom designs.

We keep your production running

  • With one of the largest inventories in Europe, we supply standard formats without delay. Custom solutions are implemented flexibly and at short notice thanks to in-house development and lean structures.

  • As an active member of the German Welding Society (DVS), we contribute our practical experience directly to standards and guidelines. This results in solutions that meet and shape the state of the art.

  • In close cooperation with you, we assess requirements, identify optimization potentials, , and implement targeted measures to increase the efficiency of your processes. For us, consulting as an integral part of manufacturing.

  • Where standards are not sufficient, we manufacture components based on drawings, samples or as custom developments. Every solution is tailored exactly to your production and supports its long-term efficiency.

  • All production phases are embedded in a structured inspection system that identifies and documents deviations at an early stage. For demanding applications, we inspect components individually based on your specifications.

  • Our decades of experience in welding technology are reflected in every component. We combine practical know-how with technical depth to deliver reliable and durable results.
