MTI built a Twin Spindle 15-ton machine with two independent weld heads sharing a central backstop on a single machine base. This is not to be confused with a Double-ended machine, which MTI also produces. Essentially, it has two separate weld heads capable of welding in conjunction with each other or as separate modules including shear flash removal within the machine. The Twin Spindle offers very fast cycle times as low as 12 seconds using integrated inverted robots and conveyor systems welding single or double-ended welds. This machine specifically produces Suspension Struts. Take a look at the video:
