Known backups / known substitutes

- Other models within the Leister VARIANT 700 series (e.g., VARIANT 702, 704, 706, 708 for tape or dual-nozzle welding)- Leister VARIMAT 700 (an automatic roof welding machine, though with different primary focus)- Leister TRIAC ST (a hand-held hot air welder, for smaller or more intricate jobs)- Leister UNIPLAN 300 (another automatic welder)- Leister VARIANT T1, VARIANT T1 Tape, TAPEMAT, TAPEMAT SPRIEGEL (older models replaced by the new VARIANT series)

Comparison Note

The Leister VARIANT 700 series is designed for high-speed, automated welding of large flexible thermoplastic materials, offering significant efficiency and precision compared to manual hot air tools like the Leister TRIAC ST. Its modularity allows for adaptation to various welding types (overlap, tape), making it highly versatile for manufacturers of tarpaulins, tents, and banners. The VARIMAT 700, while also an automatic welder, is more specifically geared towards roofing and waterproofing membranes with features like higher contact pressure and LQS data recording.
