VH-1445

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)
