Seam Welding Machine
Description
A Seam Welding Machine is a type of resistance welding machine used to produce continuous welds along a joint. It uses rotating wheel electrodes that apply pressure and electric current to join metal sheets, forming a leak-proof and strong seam. This machine is widely used in manufacturing industries for welding tanks, pipes, and containers.
