Comparison Note

The Leister Fusion 1 distinguishes itself from larger extrusion welders by its exceptionally compact and slim design, making it the smallest and most agile in the Leister range. This design is particularly advantageous for intricate welding tasks and applications in tight or restricted spaces where larger tools would be impractical. Unlike some other models in the Leister Fusion series, the Fusion 1 features a closed-loop air temperature control system, ensuring precise and consistent welding temperatures for greater process reliability.
