Large Part Spin Welder

Plastic Assembly Systems introduced the SW 950 Spin Welder, the newest addition to its “Solutions Series” line of secondary assembly equipment. This system completes Plastic Assembly Systems’ line of spin welding equipment. The SW 950 is designed to spin weld very large parts, up to thirty inches in diameter.

The spin welding system features the highest level of machine control in the industry to date. PAS couples new servo technology in both the spin and the Z-axes allowing for precise control. The unit enables end-users to run large parts and applications that require precision and repeatability. Some of the features and benefits include: all machine parameters are adjusted through the machine operator interface, no mechanical adjustments; part orientation can be controlled ± 1 degree over a 30” diameter part; spin axis speeds can be adjusted in 1 rpm increments up to 3000 rpm. Since the spin axis is servo driven, the output rpm will remain constant regardless of the load applied during the weld cycle. The vertical feed rate is adjustable in .100” per minute increments. The final weld distance is adjustable in .001” increments. The advantages over electric and air motor spin welders are precise control of the velocity and rpm, which is crucial during the weld cycle. The upper tool home posi-tion is variable, which allows the operator to lower the system start point, decreasing cycle time. Plastic Assembly Systems’ new SW950 is easy and quick to set up, its heavy-duty design makes it one of the most reliable spin welders on the market.
