Abstract
The invention provides improved and simplified production of connection ends on metal strip wound hose pieces which are separated from endless strip wound hose, by continuously guiding a laser beam about the entire periphery of the strip wound hose member to produce a welding seam, the laser beam modulated with a motion which is cyclic and parallel to the axis of the strip wound hose piece, to produce, in particular, a sinusoidal or triangular-shaped continuous welding seam.
