British company PWM, which designs, manufactures and
supplies high-performance cold welding equipment, has
introduced a new video demonstration of its best-selling
M101 manual cold welder.
The video, which can be viewed at ,
shows how the M101 can be used to weld non-ferrous
materials quickly and easily without the need for heat, flux
or fillers.
The M101, like all of PWM’s cold welders, is designed and
built in-house. It will weld copper wire 1m to 3mm (0.04" to
0.141") and aluminium 1mm to 5mm (0.04" to 0.197"), and can
be used on a workbench or supplied with a trolley, enabling
the operator to wheel it to the work area. No set-up time is
required and the weld cycle takes only seconds to complete.
“The M101 has been one of our best-selling machines
since we launched it in 1986, because it is robust, low
maintenance and very simple to operate,” said Steve
Mepsted, PWM’s managing director.
“The M101 produces strong, consistent welds on round and
profile wire, helping manufacturers avoid downtime, reduce
material waste, and improve productivity.”
Video demonstrations of PWM’s larger P1500, P1000 and
EP500 rod welders, and its HP200 portable welder can also
be viewed on the website.

Nuclear contract for Nexans
Nexans has been awarded a contract by China National
Nuclear Corporation to supply power cables and accessories
for the construction of the second phase of the Tianwan
nuclear power plant, located in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu
province, China.
The project comprises the construction of two additional
Russian type VVER-1000 pressurised water reactors,
which will each generate 1,060MW power. The cables and
accessories will be supplied for applications within the
nuclear containment area and will be installed from 2015.
Manufacture will take place over the course of the next three
years at Nexans’ facility in Mehun-sur-Yèvre, France.
