The VAIR-1015 is a 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 into the parts themselves (required for accurate machine pick-up of one part half on horizontal systems).
