PWM to introduce upgraded rod welder
Designer and manufacturer PWM will be on stand 9B41 to exhibit its full range of high performance cold pressure welding
machines, including an upgraded version of the powerful P1500 model for joining large rod sections.
The largest machine in PWM’s range, the P1500 has a capacity of 15mm to 25mm (0.59" to 0.984") diameter copper and
15mm to 30mm (1.181") aluminium. The machine’s new upgraded hydraulic operating system is designed to provide a quieter,
smoother weld operation and minimise oil usage, and the P1500 also incorporates a new user-friendly operator keypad.
Developed to weld large rod sections quickly and cost effectively, the P1500 produces strong consistent welds every time,
minimising downtime and materials wastage. Power consumption is limited to the hydraulic pump motor, making the P1500
very energy efficient and economical to operate. No set up time is involved and the weld cycle takes only minutes with
automatic de-flashing on completion.
PWM’s EP500 rod welder will also be
on show. This electro/pneumatic model
has a capacity of 5mm to 12.5mm
(0.197" to 0.492") copper and 5mm to
15mm (0.59") aluminium.
PWM’s versatile trolley-mounted cold
welders can be wheeled quickly to
the work area, saving time and effort.
Portable models include the air/
hydraulic HP100 and HP200 machines,
capable of welding wire up to 6.5mm
(0.256") diameter; and the pneumatic
P101 for wire from 1mm to 5mm (0.04"
to 0.197").
PWM will also exhibit its manual cold
welders with capacities ranging from
0.1mm (0.0039") up to 3.6mm (0.141")
copper and 5mm (0.197") aluminium.
The range includes lightweight,
hand-held machines, ideal for welding
fine wire in confined spaces; durable
bench-mounted welders and a bench/
trolley-mounted model, the best-
selling M101.
PWM manufactures industry standard dies for wire sizes between 0.08mm (0.0039") and 6.35mm (0.257").
All PWM dies are individually hand-made to the tightest possible tolerances by skilled craftsmen in PWM’s own UK
workshops. Dies can also be manufactured to suit round or profile wires and rods according to customers’ specifications.
