A new machine for optimized IR-welded pipe connections
The IR-63 M (photo) is a new infrared (IR) welding machine that maintains established technology while integrating new hardware and software features for faster, more convenient and more efficient welding. Thanks to a machine-controlled process, IR fusion machines ensure contact-free and high-quality welds in sectors such as chemical processing, microelectronics or water treatment. With the IR-63 M, this company aimed to further simplify and expedite the welding process for materials such as PVDF, ECTFE, PP-H, PP-n, PE, or PVC-U. The updates have resulted in 20% shorter preparation times, 30% fewer installation steps and 50% shorter cooling times, says the company. An integrated Connectivity Box facilitates access to the company’s cloud service. Hall 8.0, Stand E64 — Georg Fischer GmbH Piping Systems, Albershausen, Germany
