摘要:
The invention relates to a welding head for magnetic pulse welding of hollow thin-walled profile to an inner member having a complementary outer form to said hollow thin-walled profile. The weld head comprises two movable weld head halves (10a,10b) forming said weld head wherein each half has at least one individual induction coil (12a,12b) connected to a power source independently from the other weld head half, with coils wound in a kidney-shape. The work piece is clamped between shapers (15a,15b) integrated with each half. With this weld head could for example work pieces such as tubular thin-walled profiles be welded, even if they are integrated in a closed tubular design, as the weld head could be closed quickly over the welding position and opened for release of the work piece without experiencing arching in clamping area.
