Product Name
Leister (149.654 & 149.655) Conversion Kit from Variant T1 Tape to Variant T1 Overlap 40 mm
Brief Description
This conversion kit transforms a Leister Variant T1 automatic hot-air welding machine, originally configured for tape welding, into a machine capable of 40 mm overlap welding. It enables the seamless joining of industrial textiles and plastic sheets, enhancing the versatility and application range of the Variant T1.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Converting a Variant T1 Tape welder to perform overlap welds on large format banners and signs.- Enabling overlap welding for the production of tarpaulins and lorry side curtains.- Facilitating the joining of various PVC, PP, and PE coated materials and industrial textiles.- Expanding the functionality of the Leister Variant T1 for diverse fabric welding tasks.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Sign & Display- Plastic Fabrication- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (for lorry side curtains/vehicle tarpaulins)- General Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for the Leister Variant T1 automatic welder.- Converts from tape welding functionality to 40 mm overlap welding.- Extends the application possibilities of existing Variant T1 Tape machines.- Allows for precise and consistent overlap seams on various materials.
Key Properties
