The Sturtz VSM welder has a number of options on how to present the finished frame after welding
Problem
If the welder blocks are castellated, the automatic centring system on a VSM-P welder will have a problem unloading the frame after welding. This happens because the castellation holds on to the profile and it cannot be ejected properly by the centralising mechanism.
See this video of the isse - note how the profile cannot lift up when the heads retract - the top heads have not given the clearance after welding
To overcome this, the centring needs to be disabled
