PWM, a manufacturer of cold pressure
welding equipment, has launched a
new portable cold welding machine for
wire 0.3mm to 1.8mm (0.0118" to
0.071").
The new CP180 is a small hand-held
powered cold welder housed in a
handy carry pack. The compact pack
contains the machine and its
two-metre air supply line, the air/
hydraulic power system and a supply
of machine oil. The unit weighs just
16kg and can be easily moved to the
work area as and when required.
The CP180 is operated by a foot pedal
and is extremely simple to use. It
enables even an untrained operator to
produce strong, high-quality welds on
non-ferrous wire, strip and profile up
to 1.8mm (0.071") quickly and without
effort.

New design features
speeds up to 1,000RPM
Guill Tool has launched a new design
for its high-production rotary models,
both in-line and crosshead style.
A doubling of the speed, with models
running to 1,000 RPM depending on
the application, are now available in
the Guill line of patented rotating tip
and die designs.
By rotating the tooling in relation to
the material flow, a rotary head
increases the wall strength of an
extrusion, thereby allowing a thinner
wall with less material and the
corresponding cost savings for the
user.
Typical applications for rotary heads
include medical and multi-lumen
tubing plus various high-end
extrusions with interlocking layers or
multiple striping requirements.
