Abstract

A method and apparatus for automating superconducting tape splices is disclosed. In particular, a TIG welding torch is automatically traversed in front of two superconducting foils which are held in an overlapping relationship so that a weldment is created between the two foils and a splice is eventually created. The torch is automatically traversed by use of a stepper motor and a motor control which controls the direction of traverse and the traverse speed.
