5 benefits of the UNIPLAN 500 at a glance

#1 Easy to operate

The welders are equipped with a device which lifts up the material to be welded, so there is no need for you to fold the tarpaulins prior to welding. The subsequent swiveling-in of the nozzle is semi-automatic for additional convenience for the user and process safety. The nozzle is lowered and retracted in a single, controlled movement. Through these job aids, experienced users and novices alike work effortlessly and safely with the UNIPLAN 500, because this significantly minimizes the risk of burns.

#3 Smooth changes

On the UNIPLAN 500 welder, users can change from overlap welding to hem or pipe welding in one easy step using a handle and without needing any tools.

#4 Maintenance-free and higher welding performance

The Hot Air Blower - Air Heater on the UNIPLAN 500 is brushless and therefore maintenance-free. Thanks to its powerful blower motor, the UNIPLAN 500 achieves a significantly higher welding performance than conventional automatic welding machines. The maximum speed of the automatic welder is an impressive 16 meters per minute (52.5 ft/min).

#5 Intuitive operation via display

You operate the UNIPLAN 500 with ease via an intuitively designed display. Set and save material-specific parameters for identical work quickly. This saves you time for future projects.
