VH-1445

Vertical Hydraulic Hot Plate Welder

The VH-1445 is a vertical heat platen orientation, hydraulic motion controlled hot plate welding system capable of welding parts up to 14" x 45" (356mm x 1143mm) or multiple smaller parts. Customized variants of this model are available.
When compared to horizontal platen systems, vertical systems typically:
  • Allow faster tooling changeovers.
  • Allow easier and more positive operator loading and unloading of the tooling.
  • Ensure more precise part half alignment during welding (less scrap)
  • No special part-part alignment features must be designed into the parts themselves.
    (required for accurate machine pick-up of one part half on horizontal systems)
