Z-Bars generate the correct over-lap of sheet metal at the weld. As an electrical insulator, CoorsTek ceramics stop any current leakage — enabling the weld control system to be more stable.
The leading manufacturer of ceramic can tooling materials, CoorsTek is internationally recognized as a leader in the development and use of ceramic technology. In fact, CoorsTek and Coors Brewing jointly invented the two-piece aluminum beverage can in 1959. Manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities, our advanced ceramic canning tool components increase yields, improve quality, and extend machine life in can making plants worldwide.
