Product Name
Leister 114.576 WELDING PEN R Hot Air Hand Tool for Draw Welding
Brief Description
The Leister WELDING PEN R is a compact and ergonomic hot air hand tool specifically designed and optimized for precise draw welding of thermoplastic materials and single-ply flexible plastics. It requires an external air supply, such as a Leister ROBUST blower or an air compressor, which is not included. This tool features a digital display for precise control and monitoring of actual and nominal temperature values, ensuring process safety and consistent welding results.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Draw welding of thermoplastic materials in various forms like boards, tubes, profiles, foams, tiles, and sheets.- Processing sensitive plastics where precise welding and durable seams are required.- Production welding applications demanding small size and high performance.- Welding of single-ply flexible plastics.- Professional plastic fabrication, especially in space-restricted areas.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services (e.g., roofing membranes, flooring installations)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- General Manufacturing- Sign & Display- Marine (for welding PVC, hypalon, etc.)
Special and Unique Features
- Digital display for nominal and actual temperature values, allowing for precise control and process safety.- Compact and ergonomic housing, making it ideal for precise hand-held work and suitable for installation into machines.- Rotating air hose connection and power cables integrated into a cable sheath for more convenient and tangle-free welding.- Cooled heating element and protective tube for enhanced safety and energy efficiency.- Built-in heating element protection.- Automatic and constant temperature adjustment, independent of voltage fluctuations and environmental conditions.- Compatible with a wide range of screw-on nozzles.
Key Properties
- **Power Consumption:** 600W (120V version) or 1000W (230V version).- **Temperature Range:** 20°C to 600°C, steplessly controlled.- **Air Flow:** >40 l/min (requires external air supply).- **Weight:** Approximately 1.0 kg (with 3m cable and air hose).- **Dimensions:** Ø 32/43 x 270 mm.- **Electrical Protection:** Class II.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials (e.g., PVC, PE, PP, TPO).- Single-ply flexible plastics in various forms (boards, tubes, profiles, foams, tiles, sheets).
Known backups / known substitutes
- Leister WELDING PEN S (rotary temperature control knob instead of digital display).- Other Leister hot air hand tools like Leister Diode PID/S, Leister Hot Jet S, Leister Labor S.- Leister TRIAC ST (a general-purpose hot air tool).- Leister Weldplast series (extruders for heavier-duty plastic welding).
Comparison Note
The Leister WELDING PEN R distinguishes itself from the WELDING PEN S primarily by its integrated digital display for precise temperature control and monitoring, offering enhanced process safety and accuracy. It is designed for fine, precise draw welding tasks, often in applications where a larger hot air tool or extruder would be cumbersome. It requires an external air supply, unlike some self-contained hot air guns.
