Compact socket
welding machine
Prisma Jig is a compact socket welding machine for HDPE,
PP and PP-R, PVDF, and PB OD 20-125mm. Standard
composition steel clamps are available from 63 to 125mm,
or on request from 20 to 63mm.
The machine has a steel frame that can be used as a
support to the aligning body. The unit can work in tight
spaces, after a swift releasing manoeuvre of the frame.
The Prisma Jig has two trolleys – one fixed and one
movable – with practical closing hand-wheels in order
to ensure a perfect grip between clamp and pipe/fitting.
The machine also features steel auto-centring clamps: a
special clamp for the fitting, and a couple of paired clamps
designed to keep the pipe in position. The trolley closing
and opening operations are performed by a ‘mutual’
starter. The special fittings clamp is placed on the fixed
trolley. Whenever the type of work requires a different
clamping configuration, it is easy to unlock and change
the machine’s operation.
Heating is performed by the R 125 Q hand socket welder
with TFE fixed temperature control. The main feature of
the TFE device is its security: an acoustic auto-diagnosis
alarm indicates when the heating plate has reached the
working temperature, but also shuts off the heating plate
automatically if an anomaly occurs.
With a combined control system, the TFE device responds
quickly to temperature fluctuations caused by external
causes. It also gives greater stability, welding precision and
reliability. A sustaining handle may be placed at the heating
plate, in order to simplify the working phases.
The R 125 Q is available in 110 and 230V. The welding
machine is available in two versions, depending on the type
of sockets and spigots supplied.
