No set up time is necessary, no heat, flux or fillers 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-flashing 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 in its own UK workshops, includes machines for wire sizes 0.1mm to 30mm diameter.
