• Subjects: AUXILIARY OPERATIONS USED IN CONNECTION WITH METAL-WORKINGWITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVING MATERIAL; CLADDING OR PLATING BY SOLDERING OR WELDING; CUTTING BY APPLYING HEAT LOCALLY, e.g. FLAME CUTTING; MACHINE TOOLS; MANUFACTURE OF METAL SHEETS, WIRE, RODS, TUBES OR PROFILES,OTHERWISE THAN BY ROLLING; MECHANICAL METAL-WORKING WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVINGMATERIAL; METAL-WORKING NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; PERFORMING OPERATIONS; PUNCHING METAL; SOLDERING OR UNSOLDERING; TRANSPORTING; WELDING; WORKING BY LASER BEAM; WORKING OR PROCESSING OF SHEET METAL OR METAL TUBES, RODS ORPROFILES WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVING MATERIAL

PURPOSE:To control the fluctuation of the position of a welding part and to irradiate the welding part with high precision with a laser beam by restraining the oscillation in the circumferential direction of an open tube. CONSTITUTION:The edge parts E, E on both sides of a metal band are curved to face oppositely to each other with a forming roll, further formed in a shape enclosed with plural arcs projecting outside or an elliptic shape by means of a final fin pass roll 5, and after preheating by a high frequency preheater 7 and melting by a laser beam, the edge parts are held in-between and abutted with a squeezing roll 9 which is provided with a bore of nearly an identical shape as the bore of the fin pass roll.
