Completing a 4 year development project, Harrison Saw and Tool have been running the world's first wide range fully automated band welding cell. The test machine completed an 18 month trouble-free proving program, welding blades 3 - 12 metres in the widths 34 - 67mm. The machine is capable of producing a blade every 46 seconds.

The company has now completed its first order and this has been delivered to Wikus, Spangenberg, Germany - Europe's largest manufacturers of metal cutting bandsaw blades.

Wikus are very impressed with the accuracy and production rates of this machine, and anticipate placing further orders.

Harrisons are in discussion with a number of other leading band manufacturers and are confident of future orders for this system and various other derivatives of the system.

As a result of this project, it is anticipated that further jobs will be created.
