The LD range of Hot Wire Strip Heaters has been developed to provide an accurate, powerful and quickly adjustable heating system for materials up to 10mm (3/8”) in thickness. The machine is available in three working lengths, 1000mm (40”), 1500mm (60”) and 2000mm (80”). The standard machine comes with one double sided heater beam and power pack. Up to three additional heater beams can be added as required, along with the associated low voltage Power Packs.

Each Heater Beam incorporates 2 individually tensioned, low voltage resistance heating wires. Heating wires are fully adjustable for spacing and height, enabling materials from 1-10mm (0.040”-0.375”) to be heated. For thinner materials a contact heating beam is available, while for close-centre bends narrow, single wire heater beams can be supplied.

The upper beams are mounted on a hinged, spring loaded frame, allowing easy access for setting up and material loading. At the start of the heating cycle the upper frame lowers onto the material, applying the upper heat and also clamping it. At the end of the heating cycle the upper frame raises, allowing the material to be removed and folded.

The fully adjustable workstop can be positioned either in front of or behind the heater beams to suit operator preference. Beam positions are also fully adjustable, with calibration strips at either end of the machine allowing quick and accurate setting. Clip-on slats support any unsupported lengths of material, preventing sagging between heated regions.
