Product Name
Leister 163.784 Angled Welding Shoe Complete (F1-INT.AIR) AK-10 70° Fusion 1
Brief Description
This product is an essential angled welding shoe accessory designed for the Leister FUSION 1 mini extrusion welder. It facilitates precise and strong plastic welds on various thermoplastic materials, particularly in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The shoe is crucial for guiding molten plastic and preheating the welding surface to ensure a high-quality, homogeneous bond.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Welding connection nozzles, small tanks, and pipe junctions.- Plastic repairs.- Plastic tank and container construction.- Aquaculture construction and repair.- Boat construction and repair.- Landfill and mining membrane welding.- Pond waterproofing, reservoirs, and canals waterproofing.- General plastic fabrication where space is restricted.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services (e.g., roofing, civil engineering, geomembranes)- Marine (boat construction and repair)- Automotive Service/Repair (vehicle repairs)- General Manufacturing (for plastic components, tanks, containers)- Energy (landfill and mining membrane welding)- Pool/Spa/Plumbing (pond waterproofing, swimming pools)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (tarpaulins)
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for seamless integration with the Leister FUSION 1 mini extrusion welder.- Angled design (70°) provides enhanced access to tight spaces and complex geometries, improving maneuverability.- Enables precise and strong fillet welds and other critical seam geometries.- Functions as part of a system that offers automatically regulated air temperature and controlled plastification for consistent weld quality.- Can be rotated 360° for optimal flexibility during the welding process.- Combines both plast and preheat functions within a single shoe for efficient operation.
Key Properties
- Accessory type: Angled Welding Shoe.- Compatibility: Designed for Leister FUSION 1 extrusion welders.- Angle: 70° (as specified in the product name).- Function: Guides molten plastic and preheats the welding surface.
Surface Compatibility
When used with the Leister FUSION 1, this welding shoe is compatible with various thermoplastic materials, including:- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)- LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)- PP (Polypropylene)- FPO (Flexible Polyolefin)- LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene)- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes with different angles or geometries specifically designed for the FUSION 1 or other Leister extrusion welders.- Various plastic welding nozzles or tools, such as speed welding nozzles or wide slot nozzles, depending on the specific application and Leister hot air hand tool being used.- Other Leister extrusion welders like the FUSION 2, FUSION 3C, or WELDPLAST S4, or hot air hand tools such as the TRIAC ST, which cater to different scales or types of plastic welding tasks.
Comparison Note
This angled welding shoe is an integral component for the Leister FUSION 1, an extrusion welder renowned for its compact size and exceptional agility, making it particularly effective for welding in confined spaces. The specific angled design of this shoe further enhances its utility in challenging environments, offering superior access and precision compared to straight or less specialized welding shoes. It plays a crucial role in achieving high-quality, homogeneous, and robust plastic welds with the FUSION 1.
