  • Publication number: 20250073806
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a band flash butt welding machine by which it is possible to weld band faces of band ends of at least one band, in particular a saw band, to each other. The band flash butt welding machine comprises clamping elements for clamping the band ends. Furthermore, the band flash butt welding machine comprises aligning elements for aligning the band ends. The second clamping elements can be moved by a drive relative to the first clamping elements in the direction of a longitudinal axis. Two aligning elements are fixedly connected to one another by a coupling device, in particular a bridge part. The coupling device defines the relative alignment of the aligning elements. The second clamping element can be moved relative to the two aligning elements. This design is advantageous for a changeover of the band flash butt welding machine for band ends having a different geometry.

  • Patent number: 6158324
    Abstract: A saw blade comprising a basic body (8) lying in a longitudinal center plane (9) and having an edge and including along its edge a group (6) of recurring teeth (1, 2, 3, . . . ), the group (6) comprising at least one unset leading tooth (1) being provided with a phase and having an effective cutting-edge section (10) and a preferably even number of trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ). The leading tooth (1) has a larger height than all of the trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ). All of the trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ) have different plastic deformations at their tips (28) by displacements of material in the running direction (24) of the saw blade. Each of the trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ) have both a positive enlarged rake angle (gamma.sub.2, gamma.sub.3, . . . ) and a reduced height (h.sub.2, h.sub.3, . . . ) with respect to the leading tooth (1) produced by different plastic deformations.

  • Patent number: 5425296
    Abstract: A saw blade having a basic body (1) and unset teeth (2.sub.1, 2.sub.2, etc.) having recurring cycles of teeth, each cycle having at least one group of teeth with at least three teeth, and where tooth height decreases from tooth to tooth while tooth width simultaneously increases. The teeth (2.sub.1, 2.sub.2, etc.) are formed symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal center plane (8) extending through the basic body (1). The effective cutting edges or cutting-edge sections (6.sub.1, 12.sub.1, 14.sub.2, 12.sub.2, etc.) of each tooth (2.sub.1, 2.sub.2, etc.) are formed by a jutting-out or protruding cutting edge, the inner section (6.sub.1, 6.sub.2, etc.) of which runs approximately perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal center plane (8) and which is adjoined externally by a phase (7.sub.1, 7.sub.2, etc.) inclined toward the basic body (1) The widest tooth (2) in the group of teeth has an angle greater than 90 degrees formed between phase (7 ) and flank (10).
