When it comes to welding machines, they are classified into two main categories based on their intended materials- plastic and metal. Industries generally use various technologies for their welding processes, such as ultrasonic, high frequency, plasma, electric heating, rotation, to name a few.
The plastic welding machine is a crucial equipment used to weld different types of thermoplastic engineering plastic sheets or products. Some of the materials it can weld include polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon among others. Its working principle involves melting the plastic electrode and spraying it onto the surface of the material being welded, resulting in fusion and bonding of the parts. This equipment has diverse applications and is widely used in plastic equipment welding and maintenance, plastic floor laying, plastic pipe connection, and plastic bottle sealing. [2].
The primary purpose of a metal welding machine is to weld different types of metal materials together.
