APPEAL OF HAFFNER MURAT’S SMR-5 WELDER
SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
Since its launch, the
SMR-5 welder from Haffner
Murat has been an over-
night success. Sales have
continued to rise as more
and more fabricators see
how much it has to offer
their production. Dave
Thomas, Managing Director
of Haffner Murat, said: “The
SMR-5 welder is one of the
fastest and most accurate
welders on the market
today, which is why we’re
seeing such strong sales.”
It’s easy to see why the
SMR-5 is proving so popular.
In a single operation that
takes less than a minute it
can weld four squares. It’s
also capable of welding two
corner/transom/corner win-
dows or one window and
two sashes in a single opera-
tion. It can weld five H welds
in less than four minutes
and change from corners to
transoms in seconds.
Dave said: “The numbers
speak for themselves. The
SMR-5 transforms speed and
efficiency on the fabrication
floor.”
As well as delivering ex-
ceptional speed, the SMR-5
also revolutionises quality.
It guarantees 90 degree
welding every time thanks
to automatic head position-
ing and self centering for
transoms, ensuring accuracy
and eliminating remakes.
Like all Haffner Murat ma-
chines the SMR-5 has been
designed to be easy-to-use.
It has touch screen control
with memory positioning
and all operations can be
controlled automatically via
the PLC. Plus to ensure the
machine can start to add
value from day one, expert
installation and full training
is provided as standard as
part of the Haffner Murat
service.
