Product Name
Leister 145.907 Welding shoe complete (FWP-Int. Air) V-seam 12 and X-seam 25mm
Brief Description
This product is a specialized welding shoe accessory designed for Leister hot-air plastic extrusion welders. It is engineered to create precise V-seam (12mm) and X-seam (25mm) weld geometries, featuring internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air) for optimal heat distribution. This accessory facilitates the creation of strong, homogeneous, and perfectly sealed joints in various thermoplastic materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Joining thermoplastic sheets and components in various fabrication processes.- Fabrication of plastic tanks, containers, and apparatus.- Installation and welding of floor coverings.- Waterproofing applications in roofing, civil engineering, tunneling, and landfill projects.- Repair of plastic components in vehicles.- Manufacturing and processing of tarpaulins, billboards, and other flexible plastic materials.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- General Manufacturing- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Pool/Spa/Plumbing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for V-seam (12mm) and X-seam (25mm) welding geometries.- Incorporates internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air) for efficient and consistent heat application during the welding process.- Ensures the creation of high-quality, robust, and hermetically sealed plastic welds.- Compatible with a range of Leister extrusion welders, including models like WELDPLAST S1, S2, FUSION 2, and FUSION 3.- Constructed for durability, making it suitable for demanding industrial and construction site environments.
Key Properties
- **Seam Geometry:** Designed for V-seam (12mm) and X-seam (25mm) configurations.- **Air Guide:** Features internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air).- **Material:** Typically manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant metal to withstand the temperatures involved in hot-air welding.- **Functionality:** Guides the welding rod and precisely directs hot air to the weld area for optimal material fusion.- **Compatibility:** Engineered to integrate seamlessly with specific Leister hot-air plastic welding tools.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U, PVC-C), Polyamide (PA), Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), and Ethylene ChloroTriFluoroEthylene (ECTFE).- Various types of plastic sheets and molded components.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes offering different seam geometries, such as fillet weld, overlap seam, or corner outside seam, depending on the specific application requirements.- Blank welding shoes from Leister that can be customized by the end-user for unique or specialized welding tasks.- Welding shoes from alternative manufacturers of plastic welding equipment, though direct compatibility with Leister extruders would need to be verified.
Comparison Note
This Leister 145.907 welding shoe is specifically engineered and optimized for creating V-seam (12mm) and X-seam (25mm) joints with internal air guidance, providing precise and robust welds for these particular configurations. In contrast, Leister offers a comprehensive range of other welding shoes tailored for different seam types (e.g., fillet, overlap, corner) or external air guidance, each designed to meet distinct welding requirements and accommodate varying material thicknesses and access challenges.
