PWM’s Manual Cold Welders on Show at Wire Expo 2018 PWM will exhibit its comprehensive range of precision- engineered manual cold pressure welding machines on booth 502. The products will be presented by Joe Snee Associates, PWM’s exclusive distributor for the US and Canada. The largest machine on show, the M101, is one of PWM’s best-selling products. Robust, low maintenance, and very simple to operate, the M101 is designed for welding copper wire .040” to .141” (1.00mm to 3.60mm) and aluminium wire .040” to .197” (1.00mm to 5.00mm). It can also be used to weld trapezoidal and strip profiles. The M101 can be used on a workbench or supplied with a cart, enabling the operator to move it easily to the work area. Like all PWM cold welding machines, the M101 produces reliable permanent welds stronger than the parent material. PWM’s BM10 and BM30 cold welders can also be used on a workbench or with a cart. The BM10 has a capacity of .0039” to .0236” (0.10mm to 0.60mm), while the BM30 will weld wire .0118” to .071” (0.30mm to 1.80mm). Two hand-held cold welders will also be on show. The M10 for fine wire .0039” to .0196” (0.10mm to 1.50mm) and the M25 for .0098” to .047” (0.25mm to 1.20mm), are both comfortable to hold and easy to operate. PWM cold welding equipment is designed and made to high quality standards by skilled technicians in PWM’s own UK workshops. Dies are individually hand-made in matched sets, in standard or custom sizes, to suit round or profile wire. . www.pwmltd.co.uk 12 WIRE NEWS EVENTS May 2018
