In a commitment to meet the demands of customers in the geomembrane industry, Miller Weldmaster is pleased to announce the addition of two standard models to its Autobond Automation Series, the TG3600 and TGS3600. Miller Weldmaster has installed over a hundred traveling machines in the Geo market. These machines have been specifically designed to meet the production needs of the geosynthetics industry by increasing production output, minimizing labor inputs and eliminating excessive fabric handling.

Through the use of many innovative features and a unique product design, the Miller Weldmaster TG3600 is constructed to make fabric welding as efficient and seamless as possible. By using the floor as the welding surface, the TG3600 takes up limited floor space. It utilizes unwinds and traverse motion to continuously weld a new fabric panel to the previous layer. There is no pre-pulling, no folding and no excessive operator handling.

The TGS3600 uses dual unwind stands and a stationary welder, allowing the geo liner to be welded while pulling material off roll, doubling the production capability. It can be equipped with a footage counter that tracks product length and a cutter that can automatically cut product to desired length. Miller Weldmaster Corporation is committed to meeting its customers’ needs with comprehensive industrial fabric welding solutions using the latest industry and technological innovations.

Specifically designed for the sign and digital textile markets, the Miller Weldmaster Impulse Extreme 3.0 has been enhanced with a fully automatic folding function and a sleek open design.

“We couldn’t be more excited”, said Truy Pham, North America Sales Manager, “ It is our most versatile machine for the sign maker.”

The new fully automatic folding function increases productivity by eliminating operator set up time prior to welding. The folding bar creates the precise fold for a perfect weld every time. The simplistic design applies pressure to the seam area, pulses heat through the heat elements and holds the seam under pressure while allowing it to cool through a liquid cooling process.

Miller Weldmaster has made the Impulse Extreme 3.0 the ideal welder. It produces the best looking and strongest seams. The Impulse Extreme 3.0 has the ability to weld nearly all banner and fabric graphic materials.

A new event especially for the growing Irish wide format printing, textile and material fabrication market;

Dublin, October 24 and 25^th 2012

An exciting opportunity for Irish printers, tarpaulin and blind manufacturers to see and test the latest products and new technologies now available to automate and streamline their printing, finishing, fabrication and a wide range of other products.

To be held at the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel, Dublin on October 24^th and 25^th Wide Format Ireland is a unique event created to introduce the best in a range of technologies and products from market leaders in Ireland and the UK. 

Featuring:

Solent Sewing and Welding has been Miller Weldmaster’s exclusive Irish distributor for 8 years and has a reputation for excellent service and the reliability of its products. Solent provides a comprehensive range of finishing solutions for the wide-format printer including the market leading Miller Weldmaster range of heat welders for banners, Edward Segal eyeletters and Texsew/Bannersew, a new low-cost/high-speed solution for sewing textiles and banners manufactured in our factory in Portsmouth.

Welding offers a number of benefits for the outdoor banner printer. No sewing means no thread, so no consumables and the finished product looks better as there are no lines of visible stitching across the banner. Heat sealing is also very fast and robust and the weld is stronger than the material. At the lower volume end of the market, welding again offers significant improvements in speed and quality over taping or handheld devices.

Texsew and Bannersew Pro with conveyor solutions appeal to customers where their applications do not suit welding and who use sewing machines for banners and digital textiles.

Solent will be providing ‘One-to-one’ demonstrations on the Miller Weldmaster T3 Desktop banner welder, T300 Edge and Texsew for textile applications. www.solentsew.co.uk
