From profile preparation to final joint

Welding and weld cleaning are two different operations. We select the machine for the specific phase, profile system and frame geometry; the software settings and tools must match the product.

The animation explains the principle of the application area. It is not a simulation of motion or of the equipment of model PL-E.
