The new TR45 cold welder is designed specifically for non-ferrous trapezoidal wire used in the build-up of sub-sea cables. The machine has a footprint of 750 x 610mm and is mobile, so can be moved to the work area. Powered by an advanced air/hydraulic system, TR45 will weld trapezoidal material up to 45mm².

Cold welding specialist PWM, introduced a new cold welding machine designed specifically for the trapezoidal profile at Wire 2024.
The UK-based company, which celebrated its 40th anniversary at the show, presented a comprehensive range of products, including the P1500 rod welder and ST40 strip welder, at the show.
Mr. Steve Mepsted, Managing Director of PWM, said: “Wire 2024 proved to be a very successful and enjoyable event for us. Visitor quality and traffic was generally excellent, particularly at the beginning of the week, and we were delighted to see so many customers and friends, old and new, at our anniversary party.
“The show gave us an opportunity to launch and demonstrate the new TR45 machine. It’s a first for us and attracted a lot of interest from manufacturers looking for a faster, greener way to weld a complex profile. We sold the EP500 rod welder we exhibited on the stand and were pleased with the number of leads and enquiries we received.”

Known as the cold welding specialists, PWM presented its full range of products, including the P1500 cold welder for rod up to 30mm, at the show.

PWM’s P1500 machine offers wire and cable manufacturers a quick and cost-effective way to weld large nonferrous rods. The machine is extremely energy efficient since it is driven by three hydraulic pumps and only requires electrical power for the 11Kw pump motor.
Clean, quiet and user-friendly, the P1500 produces reliable permanent welds stronger than the parent material, helping manufacturers reduce operating costs, save resources and minimise waste. The best-selling EP500 pneumatic cold welder for rod 5mm to 15mm is equally energy efficient. It can be connected to a central air supply or a dedicated compressor and only needs electrical power for the operating system.

The full PWM range includes small, lightweight hand-held manual machines for fine wire up to 1.20mm; manual and powered models that can be used on a workbench or supplied with a trolley for wire 0.30mm to 6.50mm, and large, freestanding rod welders for material up to 30mm.
PWM specialises in designing and manufacturing high-performance cold pressure welding machines and dies for the global wire and cable industry. It produces industry standard dies and can produce custom-made dies for specific applications.
For over 40 years, wire and cable manufacturers worldwide have relied on PWM’s proven cold welding technology, expert advice and technical support. Its British-made precision-engineered products are all designed and made in-house to stringent quality standards to ensure total accuracy.
