Product Name
Leister 160.269 Additional Weight Adjustment for Hemtek, Uniplan, Unifloor
Brief Description
This product is an accessory designed to increase the contact pressure of Leister automatic hot-air welding machines, specifically the Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor series, during the welding process. The additional weight helps ensure optimal seam quality, consistency, and strength, particularly when working with challenging materials or in demanding conditions.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Enhancing weld quality and consistency on various thermoplastic membranes and coated fabrics.- Improving seam integrity for heavy-duty materials such as thick tarpaulins, banners, or geomembranes.- Ensuring consistent pressure during high-speed automatic welding operations.- Optimizing welding results in critical applications across roofing, flooring, and industrial fabric fabrication.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Construction/ Building Services (especially for roofing, civil engineering, and membrane installation)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Sign & Display- Plastic Fabrication- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically engineered for seamless integration with Leister Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor automatic welders.- Provides a precise additional weight of 3.3 kg (7.27 lbs) to the welding machine.- Designed to extend the existing weight guide, facilitating easy installation and adjustment.- Contributes significantly to improved weld consistency, strength, and overall quality.- Manufactured by Leister, a globally recognized leader in plastic welding and process heat technology.
Key Properties
- Weight: 3.3 kg (7.27 lbs)- Brand: Leister- Country of Origin: Switzerland- Function: Increases contact pressure of automatic welders for enhanced seam quality.- Compatibility: Designed for Leister Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor series automatic welding machines.
Surface Compatibility
- This accessory is compatible with the range of materials processed by Leister Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor welders, which include:- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)- PE (Polyethylene)- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)- LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)- CV (Cushioned Vinyl)- PUR (Polyurethane)- Linoleum- Rubber- Various other thermoplastic membranes and coated fabrics used in industrial applications.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister additional weight accessories with different specifications or for other machine models (e.g., 107.067, 139.438, 152.741, 152.742, 163.870, 160.351, 171.490, 138.333).- Manual application of pressure, though this is less consistent and efficient than an automated weight system.- Utilizing alternative welding techniques or machines that inherently provide sufficient contact pressure for specific applications.
Comparison Note
The Leister 160.269 Additional Weight Adjustment significantly enhances the performance of compatible Leister automatic welders by providing increased and consistent contact pressure. This leads to stronger, more uniform, and higher-quality welds compared to operating the machines without this specific accessory. It is an essential component for optimizing the functionality of the Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor series, especially for demanding applications where precise and robust seams are critical.
