as coaxial cable braid shielding, shipboard
cable armoring and hose braiding. Other
applications includeweavingwire, industrial
knitting, tea bag staples, semiconductor
bonding, medical devices, stranded power
cables and lightning protection cables.
Newer products include copper clad
aliminum, low carbon steel and bronze wire
0.127 to 0.5mm (0.005" to 0.02"). Available
packages for fine diameter wires include
numerous returnable and disposable spools
0.34-14kg (0.75-30lb).

PWM Ltd
Booth 1066
British manufacturer PWM will be exhibiting
its comprehensive range of cold pressure
welders, including its best-selling EP500 rod
welder, at Interwire 2013. The PWM range
will be presented at booth 11666 by Joe
Snee Associates, exclusive distributor of
PWM cold welding equipment, spares and
dies in the USA and Canada.
PWM’s powerful electro-pneumatic EP500
cold welder provides a cost-effective
method of welding large non-ferrous rod
sections. Energy efficient, clean and easy to
operate, the EP500 is designed for wire and
strip 5 to 12.5mm (0.197" to 0.492") copper,
and 5 to 15mm (0.197" to 0.590") aliminum.
The smaller, manually operated M101
cold welder, for copper wire and strip 1
to 3.6mm (0.04" to 0.141") and aliminum 1
to 5mm (0.04" to 0.197"), can be used on
a workbench or supplied with a trolley,
enabling it to be wheeled quickly to the
work area. Durable and reliable, the heavy
duty M101 is simple to maintain due to the
low number of component parts.
For joining fine wire in confined spaces,
PWM’s M10, M25 and M30 hand-held
machines are suitable for wire and strip 0.1
to 1.8mm (0.0039" to 0.071"). The BM10 and
BM30 models, for use on a workbench or
trolley, are suitable for similar wire sizes.
PWM machines and dies, standard or
custom made to suit round or profile wire
and rod, are designed and precision
engineered in the company’s own UK
workshops, ensuring total quality control
and accountability. All PWM cold welders
provide a fast, cost-effective method of
welding non-ferrous materials, using the
multiple upset process to create a strong
permanent weld stronger than the parent
material.
Video demonstrations of PWM’s cold
welders can be viewed on the company’s
website.
