Massive Ultra-Rigid Construction utilizing tubular steel framework with leveling feet and linear guide shafts/bearings designed for precise tool alignment through decades of use.  

20.0 HP, 1750 RPM, 35.0 GPM (14.9kW, 1750 RPM, 132.5 LPM) 1000 PSI (68 Bar) Maximum Pressure Hydraulic System with Proportional Valve Control and Linear Position Transducers offers improved control and reduced machine and coating wear by user programmed variable tool mounting platen and heat platen carriage pressures and speeds including “soft-touch” contact of parts halves to heat platen (Melt) and each other (Weld/Seal).

Dual Heat Platen Halves with Servo-Electric Motion Control improves weld strength by increasing speed of heat platens motion thereby reducing Open time (between Melt and Weld/Seal steps).  Lengthy Open times reduce part strength by allowing molten material surfaces to partially solidify or “skin-over” prior to contact with one another.

Digital Four-Zone Temperature Control via PLC with Heater Burnout Alarm ensures even heating and precise temperature control with temperature alarm limits. Burnout alarm halts operation of the machine in the event of platen heater failure.

Programmable Automatic Machine and Heat Platen Startup (Time/Date Based) saves production time as the machine can be user programmed to automatically initialize warm-up of heat platen and hydraulic system before start of production.

Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC with PanelView Plus 600 Touch-Screen User Interface simplifies parameter input and allows the following to be displayed:

• Melt, Weld (Seal) & Open Time Digital Control & Display
• Individual Melt & Weld (Seal) Pressure & Speed Settings
• Digital Temperature Control Settings & Alarm Limits
• Resettable Parts Counter
• Non-Resettable Total Machine Cycle Counter
• Diagnostic Display
• Machine Alarms (history storage of up to 99 Alarms)

Multi-Level Passcode Protection limits parameter adjustment to qualified personnel only.

5 Weld Program/Setup Memory allows storage for instant recall, minimizing tool change time.

External 120VAC Duplex Electrical Outlet allows user to easily connect small auxiliary equipment such as computers, printers, radios, etc.

Two 1.0 HP, 1725 RPM, 25.0 in/Hg (Two 0.75kW, 1725 RPM, 63.5cm/Hg) High Capacity Vacuum Pump System designed to secure even the largest parts within the tooling.  Eliminates the need for separate venturi-vacuum systems for each tool.   

Pneumatic Power Sliding Safety Door with Zero Force Cycle Activation Switches provide optimum personnel protection while reducing operator fatigue.

Hinged Access Panels with Safety Interlock Switches allows extensive access while providing maximum personnel protection.

Vent Hood with Exhaust Fan evacuates airborne smoke and particulate from the operator location when welding at high temperatures without coatings.  

Interior Viewing Lights enhance visibility of the welding process for the operator.

Two English Language Manuals provides detailed documentation and instruction of installation, operation, setup, maintenance & troubleshooting procedures.
