Tunnel Construction - TriacDrive Overlap Welding Machine
09 January 2004
Reproducible welding results for all vertical and horizontal applications
Excellent welding results can be still be achieved on uneven welding surfaces and in difficult welding positions thanks to the new TriacDrive overlap welding machine from the Swiss manufacturer LEISTER. The TriacDrive allows a consistent welding quality, verified time and time again by vacuum or radio test equipment or other test procedures.
The TriacDrive is suitable for overhead welding of waterproof sheeting up to 3 mm in thickness and welding of various types of joining tape in tunnel construction. The welding of seams otherwise impossible with an automated welding machine, as well as the ability to join connecting seams on vaulted seals for sole sealing are further strengths of this semiautomatic machine. The main advantage of the TriacDrive for the user is that the temperature and speed can be continuously set and regulated, so the user only has to concentrate on the application pressure. The continuous advance mode results in improved welding seam quality and a significantly higher welding speed as compared with manual welding. The extensive range of jets available and additional accessories also allows extremely flexible deployment. Its simple handling, as well as its extremely low weight of just 2.3 kg (incl. cable) makes the TriacDrive extremely attractive. Detailed technical information can be obtained from the manufacturer - Leister Process Technologies Switzerland.
