Product Name
Leister 107.347 - Welding Mirror Wand 107.347 - 74 x 12 x 520 mm (2.91 x 0.47 x 20.5 inch)
Brief Description
The Leister 107.347 Welding Mirror Wand is a specialized accessory designed for Leister hot air tools, primarily used in plastic welding technology. It features a PTFE coating and is engineered to provide precise control and focusing of welding heat, enabling welders to work effectively in areas with obstructed sight lines by offering an indirect view of the weld puddle.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Butt welding of plastic pipes, fittings, profiles, and sheet materials.- Achieving uniform fusion and strong welded joints in various plastic materials.- Facilitating welding in tight, confined, or otherwise obstructed spaces where direct line-of-sight is not possible.- Repairing plastic components, such as automotive mirror housings and other plastic parts.- Applications in aerospace for components like aircraft tailpipes and in automotive for frames.- Used in construction for tasks such as flat roof membrane welding and pool waterproofing.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- Aerospace/Defense- General Manufacturing- Marine
Special and Unique Features
- Features a high-quality PTFE non-stick coating on all sides, significantly extending its service life.- Constructed from precision-engineered stainless steel, ensuring durability and consistent performance.- Specifically designed to provide precise control and focusing of the welding heat for optimal plastic fusion.- Enables an indirect view of the weld puddle, which is crucial for welding in difficult-to-access or blind spots.- Its sword-shaped design is optimized for specific butt welding applications.
Key Properties
- Material: Stainless steel core with a PTFE non-stick coating.- Dimensions: 74 x 12 x 520 mm (2.91 x 0.47 x 20.5 inch).- Nozzle Connection: Designed for a ø 50 mm / 2 inch nozzle connection.- Maximum Peak Temperature: Capable of withstanding a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C.- Functionality: Concentrates reflected heat to ensure uniform heating and fusion of plastic surfaces.
Surface Compatibility
This welding mirror wand is primarily compatible with various plastic surfaces, especially those made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene), commonly used in butt welding applications.
Known backups / known substitutes
- General welding mirrors, which can include rectangular glass mirrors, stainless steel reflective surfaces, or magnifying options.- These substitutes are typically mounted using various methods such as magnetic bases, clamps, flexible arms, or even duct tape.- Inspection mirrors with extension handles are also used for similar purposes in tight spaces.- Any strong and sturdy mirror of the correct size and shape can be adapted for mirror welding if a specialized tool is unavailable.
Comparison Note
The Leister 107.347 Welding Mirror Wand stands out as a specialized, high-quality accessory specifically engineered for professional plastic welding with Leister hot air tools. Its PTFE coating and precision stainless steel construction offer superior durability and precise heat control, which are critical for achieving consistent and strong plastic welds. While generic mirrors can provide an indirect view, they typically lack the specific design, material properties, and heat resistance of the Leister product, potentially leading to less optimal and inconsistent results in demanding plastic welding applications.
