This Geo Whiting Longitudinal Weld Planisher is designed to do long seam planishing on flat sheets or cylinders with diameters ranging from 13″ to 36″.  The throat depth on this planisher is 60″. Use this machine for your 5′ long parts or flip the part around to handle up to 10′ of planishing on a seam weld. This planisher uses a hardened wheel and backing bar to flatten the weld bead. You get several benefits by applying high pressure to the welded seam. The first of these is a lower weld bead profile height this allows the material to pass through a sheet fed system easier without binding. The second benefit is planishing acts as a stress relieving process. This post weld stress relief makes the weld seam more ductile so that further bending and manipulation of the material can be done without the material fracturing at the seam. The third benefit is that a planished weld seam is stronger than a seam that has had no post weld treatment. This is a result of high pressure wheel realigning the crystalline structure of the weld seam thus returning the properties of the base material to the weld joint. With this machine you get additional hardened wheels with different profiles so that you can achieve the profile you need without distorting the part.

This machine, as with all inventory we rebuild, comes complete with a warranty. We also offer training here in our facility at no cost to you. You can choose to buy this or any of our machines in the as-is condition. We just encourage you to come to our facility and inspect the machine before doing so.  Contact Weld Plus at 800-288-9414 to find out more about this Geo Whiting Longitudinal Weld Planisher.
