PWM’s powerful electro/pneumatic EP500 rod welder o ers manufacturers a cost e ective way to weld large non-ferrous rod sections without heat, ux or llers. The EP500, which has a capacity of 5mm to 12.5mm copper and 5mm to 15mm aluminium, is energy e cient and simple to operate and maintain, reducing downtime and the need for operator training. No set up time is necessary, no heat, ux, llers are required and the cold weld process does not generate any dangerous or unpleasant fumes. The weld cycle is completed in minutes, with automatic de- ashing on completion. PWM will also exhibit its range of hand-held manual cold welders, and a selection of larger manual and powered models, which can be used either on a workbench or supplied with a trolley. All use PWM’s proven welding technology to produce reliable permanent bonds on non-ferrous round wire or rod sections. PWM’s comprehensive range of cold welders, designed and precision engineered
