PWM to demonstrate energy-efficient
rod welding process at Interwire 2017
Interwire visitors looking for a fast, easy, cost-
effective method of welding non-ferrous rod
can see PWM’s best-selling EP500 rod welder
in action on booth 1358 (Joe Snee Associates).
Other PWM high-performance cold welding
machines for wire sizes 0.10mm (.0039”) to
5.00mm (.197”) will also be on show, including
the new CP180 portable model.
the need for operator training. The machine is also
low maintenance and energy efficient. It can be
pneumatically powered from either a central air
supply system or a dedicated compressor. A single
phase electrical supply is required only for the
control system used to set the weld parameters.
The EP500 has no heavy sliding loads or fast-
moving parts and requires minimum lubrication.
For reliable service, maintenance is only required
about every three or four years.
Like all PWM machines, the electro/pneumatic
EP500 rod welder uses the proven multiple upset
process to produce high-quality, reliable welds
stronger than the parent material, improving
productivity and reducing downtime.
PWM’s full range of cold welding machines
includes both manual and powered cold welders,
for wire sizes 0.10mm (.0039”) to 30mm (1.181”).
Video demonstrations of all the company’s
machines can be viewed at www.pwmltd.co.uk.
Designed for copper rod 5mm to 12.50mm (.197”
to .492”) and aluminium rod to 15mm (.590”) the
EP500 is extremely easy to operate, eliminating
