The welding bead size is controlled by heated restrictors provided with mechanical adjustment. Such devices allow varying the welding bead thickness within a range between 0.2 and 2 mm. The temperature is controlled by a digital temperature controller and can reach 50°C.
Positioning of small frames for welding the 4th corner could cause difficulties for the operator as well as abnormal stress on the frame. SM 1LV is provided with a device for limiting the stroke of the intermediate stop. It also makes use of the accurate movement of the vices for inserting the heating plate thus making it easier to handle the profile.
