Product Name
Leister 160.351 Additional Weights for Hemtek, Uniplan, Unifloor
Brief Description
These are accessory weights designed to be used with Leister's automatic hot-air welding machines, specifically the Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor series. They are crucial for adjusting and increasing the contact pressure during the welding process to ensure optimal seam quality and efficiency when working with various thermoplastic materials and technical textiles.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Enhancing welding pressure for hems, overlaps, and pipe welding on banners, tarpaulins, and tents.- Improving seam quality and consistency when welding resilient floor coverings such as PVC, linoleum, and rubber.- Optimizing welding performance for various technical textiles and industrial fabrics.- Ensuring strong, durable welds in applications like truck tarpaulins, awnings, and protective covers.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Construction/ Building Services (for roofing, waterproofing membranes)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Sign & Display- Plastic Fabrication- General Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed to integrate with Leister Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor automatic welding machines.- Allows for precise adjustment of welding pressure, which is critical for consistent weld quality.- Contributes to increased process reliability and efficiency in automated welding tasks.- Durable construction for industrial use.
Key Properties
- Weight: 1.25 kg (2.76 lbs)- Material: (Implied to be metal for weight, though not explicitly stated in search results)- Compatibility: Leister Hemtek, Uniplan (300, 310, 500, 510), Unifloor (E, 500) series automatic welders.- Function: Increases contact pressure of the welding machine.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials including PVC-P, PE, PP, ECB, EPDM, CSPE, CPA, TPO.- Resilient floor coverings such as linoleum, rubber, PVC, CV, PUR, and antistatic ESD floors.- Various technical textiles and industrial fabrics.
Known backups / known substitutes
- The product itself is an accessory to enhance the performance of Leister welding machines. Substitutes would typically be other methods of increasing pressure on the welding seam, or alternative welding techniques that do not require additional weights. However, for optimal performance with Leister machines, genuine Leister accessories are recommended.- Other Leister additional weight adjustment components (e.g., 160.269, which these weights slide onto).
Comparison Note
- These additional weights are specifically engineered by Leister to work seamlessly with their Hemtek, Uniplan, and Unifloor automatic welding machines. Their precise weight and design ensure proper balance and pressure distribution, which is crucial for achieving the high-quality, consistent welds that Leister machines are known for. Generic weights may not offer the same level of compatibility or performance.
