Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes for different seam geometries, such as fillet weld shoes (e.g., 145.940, 145.817), corner seam shoes (e.g., 146.645), or wide slot nozzles.- Leister offers a comprehensive range of over 1000 accessories, providing alternatives for various welding tasks.- Blank welding shoes (e.g., Leister 146.239) can be customized by the end-user for unique or specialized applications.- Welding shoes from other manufacturers that are compatible with similar plastic extrusion welding equipment.
Comparison Note
The Leister 145.916 welding shoe is specifically engineered for V-seam and X-seam applications with internal air guidance, offering precision for creating strong butt welds. This distinguishes it from other Leister welding shoes that might be designed for external air guidance (EA), fillet welds, overlap welds, or corner seams, each catering to different joint configurations and application requirements. Its internal air guide ensures focused heat delivery, which can be crucial for specific material thicknesses and welding speeds compared to external air models.
