Features

Excellent for the bonding of small to medium diameter, and short products.

Improved productivity

  • This product is easily operated with high reproducibility, and the same products can be produced continuously.

  • Unmanned operation and automation are possible with use of loading and unloading.

  • Simultaneous bonding is possible at both sides.

Improved quality

  • Thermal distortion is minimal, and stable dimensional accuracy is obtained.

  • The pressure welding status is monitored constantly, and “OK” or “NG” can be judged automatically.

  • Phase angle alignment is possible at both ends (phase accuracy: ±1°).

Cost reductions

  • Material weight can be reduced by 20%.

  • No spatter is produced, eliminating the need for residue clear-up work.

  • Power consumption is 1/5 to 1/20 of that of other welding methods.

Improved environment

  • CO2 emissions can be reduced.

  • No toxic substances such as sparks or gas are produced.
