Precision engineered to produce
strong, reliable permanent welds on
non-ferrous materials, PWM cold
pressure welders offer manufacturers
a fast, economical method of joining
large rod sections up to 30mm
(1.181") diameter.
Quicker, cleaner, and ‘greener’ than
electrical butt-welding, the cold weld
process creates a reliable permanent
weld stronger than the parent material
without sacrificing electrical integrity.
PWM’s range of rod welders includes
the P1500, P1000 and EP500 models.
Designed and built in PWM’s own UK
workshops, these robust, heavy-duty
machines are energy efficient, low
maintenance and easy to operate.
The EP500 electro/pneumatic cold
welder is one of PWM’s best-selling
machines. Dependable and easy to
operate, it will weld copper rod 5mm
to 12.5mm (0.197" to 0.492") and
aluminium rod 5mm to 15mm (0.197"
to 0.590").
The compact hydraulic P1000
machine, for copper rod 6mm to
16mm (0.236" to 0.630") and
aluminium rod 6mm to 20mm (0.236"
to 0.790"), is equipped with quick
release dies and an easily adjustable
die setting mechanism.
PWM’s top of the range model, the
P1500 electro-hydraulic rod welder,
will weld copper rod from 15mm
(0.590") up to 25mm (0.984");
aluminium up to 30mm (1.181").
Power consumption is limited to the
hydraulic pump motor, making the
P1500 very economical to operate.
No set up time is required and the
weld cycle takes about four to five
minutes, with the weld flash removed
automatically on completion.
Video demonstrations of the EP500,
P1000 and P1500 are available at
Most non-ferrous materials, as well as
various alloys can be welded. As a
specialist manufacturer of cold
welding equipment for nearly 30
years, PWM is always happy to
provide advice on cold weld
techniques and applications.
The company’s worldwide network of
experienced agents, together with the
UK-based team, offer a prompt and
efficient service to the international
wire and cable industry.
