Product Name
Leister 100.360 Lock Pin
Brief Description
The Leister 100.360 Lock Pin is a crucial replacement component designed for various Leister automatic welding machines, including models like VARIMAT, UNIROOF, and BITUMAT. This pin serves to securely hold the welding nozzle in its correct position during both the welding process and the subsequent cooldown phase. It is engineered with a specific breaking point, allowing it to snap under excessive force to prevent more significant and costly damage to the main welding tool.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Securing welding nozzles in Leister automatic hot air welding machines- Replacement part for maintenance and repair of Leister VARIMAT, UNIROOF, and BITUMAT welders- Essential for consistent and precise hot air welding operations in roofing and plastic fabrication
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/Building Services (especially roofing contractors using automatic welders for membranes)- Plastic Fabrication (for welding plastic sheets, films, and other materials)- General Manufacturing (as a spare part for industrial hot air tools)- Distributers & Resellers (suppliers of Leister equipment and parts)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (for welding tarps and similar materials)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer (for installing resilient flooring coverings)
Special and Unique Features
- Designed as a sacrificial component to protect more expensive parts of the welding tool from damage due to excessive force- Ensures precise nozzle positioning for optimal weld quality- High-quality direct replacement part for seamless integration with compatible Leister equipment- Specifically engineered for Leister VARIMAT, UNIROOF, and BITUMAT automatic welding machines
Key Properties
- Durable construction suitable for industrial use- Precision-engineered for exact fit and function within Leister welding tools- Acts as a safety mechanism to absorb impact and prevent major tool damage
Surface Compatibility
The Leister 100.360 Lock Pin itself does not directly contact welding surfaces. Its compatibility is with the internal mechanisms of Leister hot air welding tools, which are used to weld various thermoplastic materials such as PVC, TPO, and other roofing membranes, as well as plastics in fabrication applications.
Known backups / known substitutes
- IHS-100.360 Lock Pin (an aftermarket direct replacement)- Other generic or third-party lock pins designed to be compatible with Leister VARIMAT, UNIROOF, or BITUMAT models, though quality and fit may vary.
Comparison Note
The Leister 100.360 Lock Pin is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance with Leister automatic welding machines. While aftermarket substitutes like the IHS-100.360 exist, the OEM part is typically preferred for guaranteed fit, material quality, and adherence to Leister's operational standards.
