  • Exit side strip pusher mechanism for a flash butt welder
    Publication number: 20030234279
    Abstract: An exit side pusher mechanism (10) for a flash butt welder (14) applies a pushing force which opposes the tendency of an leading strip (16) of steel to back away from a spacer bar (40) prior to welding. The pusher mechanism includes a rotating drive wheel (82) which frictionally engages the strip. The drive wheel is lowered into an engagement position by a pneumatically driven actuator (100). A pneumatically driven drive motor (84) rotates the drive wheel a preselected distance to advance the strip back towards the spacer bar.
