Delivers Quality Welds
Injectiweld uses heat from the welding tip to pre-plasticize the welding surface of the thermoplastic. Molten plastic is immediately injected sub-surfacely under pressure, into the weld area to fuse the plastic together and form a sound weld. Since the orifice in the weld tip is submerged, surface preparation is not necessary and virtually no oxidation takes place during the welding process. The result is an efficient quality weld, produced without using hot air or gas.
Fabricating: Injectiweld is easily adapted into production and assembly applications. The one-hand operation of the Injectiweld allows the user to manipulate the parts to be welded with the other hand. The welder can then free form product for faster turnover and production.
Prototyping: Products can be designed and developed using the Injectiweld. The strong welds achieved using the Injectiweld lets welded prototypes be used in real life tests. The Injectiweld is capable of producing welds as small as 1.5 mm for inconspicuous welds and up to 15 mm for added weld strength.
Repair: The combination of heat and pressure from the Injectiweld produces quality welds on previously unrepairable parts, allowing them to be fixed and put back into service. The Injectiweld is utilized in various industries such as: materials handling, lining, transportation, safety supply, and custom repair.
Materials that can be welded with the Injectiweld
The following table lists materials commonly welded with the Injectiweld. While many thermoplastics are weldable with the Injectiweld, some resins have not been tested extensively and therefore do not appear on the following list. Note the weld temperatures are specific to the Injectiweld system.
