welder can join strip as thin as 0.2mm (0.00787″), and as wide as 45mm (1.772″), depending on the material properties. Like all PWM machines, the ST40 produces welds that are consistent, reliable and stronger than the parent material. No set-up is necessary and the machine is simple to operate and maintain. Mounted on a cart, it can be wheeled easily to the work area, reducing downtime and saving effort.

M101 for copper wire from 1mm to 3.6mm (0.04″ to 0.141″) and aluminium from 1mm to 5mm (0.197″). The M101 can be used on a workbench or supplied with a cart. For joining fine wire in confined spaces, the small M10 and M25 handheld machines are suitable for wire 0.1mm to 1.2mm (0.0039″ to 0.047″). The BM10 and BM30 models, for similar wire sizes, can be used on a workbench or with a cart. PWM machines and dies, standard or custom-made to suit round or profile wire and rod, are designed and made in the company’s own UK workshops.
