Press Release – The welding angle clamp WSM from BESSEY

Aligned exactly - clamping angles and mitres

BESSEY has developed the WSM welding angle clamp especially for use
in steel construction, welding and metalworking. Its wide range of
applications includes holding, fixing and aligning workpieces at an exact
right angle. The clear working area means that you can access the
workpiece unhindered during welding and assembly work, and when
fixing T-joints.

The BESSEY WSM welding angle clamp is a high quality tool for welding
exact corner joints. It can be attached to machining and welding tables via two The WSM welders´ angle clamp –
for holding work pieces, including
slot holes. Unhindered access to the workpiece makes welding and assembly work pieces of different thicknesses,
work easier. at a precise 90° angle

BESSEY has two sizes of welding angle clamps. The clamping width on both
sides is 90 mm for the WSM9 and 120 mm for the WSM12. T-joints can also
be fixed thanks to the maximum open passage of 60 mm for the WSM9 and
100 mm for the WSM12.

Even workpieces with different thicknesses can be aligned at an exact right

angle. This is because the spindle nut with an articulated bearing allows
automatic adjustment for different work piece thicknesses.

The spindles with Acme threads are copper-plated on the WSM welding angle
clamp. The copper plating prevents welding spatter adhesion. The welding
angle clamp's base and clamping jaws are made of high-quality cast iron and
are galvanised. These treatments protect them against corrosion and allow
powerful clamping.
