Conductors and Cables
IDEAL LS series conductor welding machines are specially designed for the effective joining of conductors and cables as well as sector-shaped and solid conductors of aluminium and copper using the chamber welding process. This creates a homogeneous, pore- and burr-free joint.
With this procedure, the cable or conductor ends are placed in a glass, ceramic or graphite sleeve (chamber) so that the ends touch. The welding sleeve material here depends on either the cable/conductor cross-section or, as may apply, welding machine output. Once the welding process has started, both ends are melted by a flowing current and welded together under a constant feed rate.
The sleeve is shattered once welding has finished. The surface of the weld is without burring, clean, smooth and hardly any thicker.
To allow the weld to be drawn into the inlet nozzle of a downstream extruder, only minor post-treatment is required.
The chamber welding procedure is suitable for both regular conductor structures and also delicate cables.

Application Examples
results from various applications
02
Type LSH
The IDEAL LSH and LSF type welding machines on the whole differ due to the operation of the clamping device either by hand (LSH) or with the foot (LSF). While the LSH series features a more compact construction, the LSF series provides better handling with the foot pedal (LSF). The operator can use both hands for the handling of the conductor ends and the sleeve.
Both IDEAL machines will achieve the same high-grade welding results. The heavy duty LS0 series is solely equipped with a foot control for both the opening and closing of the welding jaws as well as the starting of the welding process.
All machines are equipped with an undercarriage as standard (optional for the types LSH 004 through LSH 016).
Depending on the machine size, IDEAL conductor welding machines of the LS series can be equipped with working tables and undercarriages as well as cable sheers and circular saws.
