History
- Invention of the welding gap clip 2010 with Liebherr Mobilkrane – practical semester
- 2011 Foundation of the company Palige Schweißtechnik by Paul Palige
- Goal: Patent, manufacture and distribute a welding gap clip
- Worked as a welding engineer at a manufacturer of cranes and handling equipment from 2012 to 2013
- Expansion of sales of the welding gap clip worldwide, development of further innovative products
- 2013 Expansion of the range to include leakage sheets and seam clocks
- 2013 Product presentation on DVS-TV and in the journal welding and cutting
- Exhibition appearance at the fair welding and cutting in Essen
- Welding supervisor responsible at a manufacturer of straddle carriers and port technology since 2014
- Conducting welding consultations since 2017
Customer
Increasing demands in all welding production plants
- Higher quality requirements
- Better reproducibility
- Higher cost pressure
- Lower use of materials
Better seam preparation
- Defined Air Column DIN ISO 9692-1
- Lower kerb effect - DIN EN ISO 5817
- Better vibration strength - Seam classes according to Eurocode & AD2000
- No makeshift constructions (Distance plates)
Economy
Cost comparison T-bump 10mm:
- Cross-sectional area A=49mm2
- Cross-sectional area A=39mm2
- Cross-sectional area A=30mm2
Advantages
- Safe root welding
- Defined air gap
- Safe reproducibility
- Less welding required
- Lower heat input = lower delay
- Lower kerb effect
- Better reproducibility
- Higher profitability
- Better controllable than high-performance welding methods
