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. PWM Ltd – UK Website: www.pwmltd.co.uk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Qunye Booth TBC

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

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). For wire forms, food packaging clips, automotive moulding reinforcement, vacuum metallizing and more, Phifer offers aliminum wire in larger diameters 0.81 to 11.1mm (0.032" to 0.4375"). Innovative machinery has expanded and

Qunye, a leading reel manufacturer in China, has all types of metal and plastic reels for wire and cable.
