The ESVAIR-1015 is an extended stroke, vertical infrared platen orientation, pneumatic motion controlled infrared welding system capable of welding parts up to 10” x 15” (254mm x 381mm) or multiple smaller parts. Customized variants of this model are available.
When compared to horizontal platen systems, vertical systems typically:
- Reduce risk of molten material possibly dripping onto the infrared platen during the melt step (resulting in premature emitter failure).
- 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) as no special part-part alignment features must be designed in the parts themselves (required for accurate machine pick-up of one part half on horizontal systems).
