An exemplary embodiment of wire wrap welding system generally includes a headstock; a bed; a bed mounted tailstock linearly moveable in relation to the headstock; a linear induction drive system adapted to move the tailstock; a linear encoder system having a series of position encoders disposed on the bed; a servomotor adapted to rotate a headstock mounted spindle; a welding system positioned on the headstock, a servomotor positioned on the tailstock and adapted to rotate a tailstock mounted spindle; and a control system. An exemplary embodiment of a method for controlling slot openings between wire segments in a wire wrap welding process generally includes controlling movement of a bed mounted tailstock in relation to the rate of rotation of a headstock mounted spindle, utilizing a linear induction drive system, a linear encoder system, and a control system.

Wire screen manufacturing system and method

An apparatus for manufacturing wire wrapped screens utilizing a wire and support ribs is provided. The apparatus employs welding pressure control, utilizing a welding device mounted on a support assembly, wherein the support assembly is moveable in relation to a mounting structure and the wire and support rib weld pieces. Welding pressure is determined by a force measurement device, and a control and feedback system adjusts pressure. Mechanical actuator cylinders mounted on the support assembly and the mounting structure provide load balance. A method for making wire wrapped screens is also provided.
