The brake shoe welder welds shoe rims to the webs.
After the welding process, the parts automatically get calibrated. The calibrated shoes are then transported on a conveyor and fall into a container. The cycle time for brake shoe is about four seconds. On the same machine, several different brake shoe dimensions could be welded. A typical tool change-over time takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
