IR & Hotplate Welding
All machines are fully electric providing excellent control on the machine operation during the complete welding cycle. Click on the links to view the range of machines.
Infrared (IR) and Hotplate welding are advanced techniques used in the plastic welding industry. IR welding uses infrared radiation to heat and join plastic components, offering precise control and efficiency, especially for complex shapes. Hotplate welding, on the other hand, utilizes a heated plate to melt the joining surfaces of thermoplastic materials. This method is known for its strong, consistent welds and is suitable for a wide range of applications. Both techniques provide reliable and high-quality joins, making them popular choices in various industrial processes.
Our collaboration with CEMAS Elettra ensures access to the latest advancements in welding technology, keeping your operations at the forefront of efficiency and quality.These fully electric machines ensure unparalleled control throughout the welding cycle, enhancing precision and efficiency. Each machine is designed to meet diverse industry needs, providing solutions for complex welding challenges. To explore our comprehensive range, please click the provided links.
