HWT 400-CS This servo-operated butt-welding workshop system from Hürner, Schweisstechnik GmbH, Mücke, Germany, can produce segmented bends and fittings for a range of pipes with any standard dimension ratio and an outer diameter of up to 14 inches. The system is fitted with cast-aluminum clamping jaws, and can work with PE, PP, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), PVC and chlorinated PVC (CPVC) pipe. Each of the swiveling clamping jaws — one located on either side of the machine — can be rotated up to 22.5 degrees, and they feature horizontal adjustability, to allow users to compensate for any misalignments. A servo motor controls the high-fusion pressures for PVC and CPVC fitting fabrication. Wegener is the exclusive distributor for Hürner’s products in the United States and Canada.
What’s new? The HWT 400-CS.
Benefits Fast, precise fitting production. The HWT 400-CS is flexible, and with its color touch-screen control, users can choose between an automated CNC system and fully manually processing. The high-resolution screen makes it easy to enter all component parameters and any required traceability information. The welding monitoring system tracks data including welding forces, welding times, memory control, distance covered during fusion and heating-element temperature. Designed to resist warping, the system’s heavy-duty support frame is welded and bolted.
