FW Series Flash Welders

Our state-of-the-art FW-Series flash welders are all PLC controlled
with built-in automated 2-stage annealing. We offer both manual
and automatic cycling models, all with solid-state voltage control.
Fixed vertical alignment, extremely rigid clamping and standard
water-cooling offer maximum durability under heavy production.
These welders also combine a large capacity transformer with very
high upset force to produce stronger welds than other welders.
All weld parameters are independently adjustable for maximum
flexibility in fine-tuning. Dial indicators display weld cut-off
moment and jaw gap for precise forging length and tooth matching.

STANDARD FEATURES:

• PLC control
• Large 15 KVA transformer
• Standard 220 volts, Single phase (other voltages available)
• Water-cooled carriages
