Abstract
Abstract A machine for making wire mesh, consisting of longitudinal and transverse wires, for concrete reinforcement purposes. For the adjustment of an electrode stroke for an optimum cycle time of the welding means, for different rod diameters, each lifting device (22) for the electrode (59) is provided with an adjustable stop (69) by which the stroke of the electrode (59) can be limited. The stop (69) is adapted to be moved forwards by a servomotor (68) to a position against the drive means (53) adjusting the electrode (59) and backwards by a predetermined distance determining the electrode stroke.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
An apparatus for welding wire lattice, which comprises a plurality of adjacent welding units and means for mounting said units for lateral movement relative to one another, each of said welding units having an upper electrode, a lower electrode and drive means for longitudinal displacement of said upper electrode, said drive means including adjustable stop means for automatically limiting the displacement of the upper electrode to a retracted resting position according to the thickness of the wire lattice and degree of electrode wear for each welding unit, so that the upper electrode of each welding unit travels the same distance during the working stroke from said retracted resting position to the point of contact with the wire lattice, each of said welding units including motor means for axial displacement of the adjustable stop means, and control means for actuating the motor means and displacement of said stop means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
148 words
An apparatus for welding wire lattice, which comprises a plurality of adjacent welding units and means for mounting said units for lateral movement relative to one another, each of said welding units having an upper electrode, a lower electrode and drive means for longitudinal displacement of said upper electrode, said drive means including adjustable stop means for automatically limiting the displacement of the upper electrode to a retracted resting position according to the thickness of the wire lattice and degree of electrode wear for each welding unit, so that the upper electrode of each welding unit travels the same distance during the working stroke from said retracted resting position to the point of contact with the wire lattice, each of said welding units including motor means for axial displacement of the adjustable stop means, and control means for actuating the motor means and displacement of said stop means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus of claim 1 including means for reconditioning the electrodes mounted for servicing each of said welding units.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
