Infrared fusion machine THE IR-110 A is a new generation of infrared fusion machines made by Georg Fischer Piping Systems. Automation, intuitive handling and security enable efficiency for installers and operators. GF Piping Systems has been a pioneer

in IR technology since 1992, and works with customers to focus on their needs. The result is the IR-110 A for the diameter range d20 to d110mm, for materials PVDF, PP, PP-n and PE100. The fully automated IR-110 A minimises operator errors and ensures the quality of the weld. The jointing process with autonomously moving clamping slides and the facing and heating are all fully automated. The user-friendly design of the IR-110 A is suitable for complex installations. The facer and heater do not interfere with the components. The clamping slides and clamping units are designed for flange connections. Adjustable facing values on both sides allow maximum flexibility in installation and handling. The IR-110 A supports interactive handling with a graphical user interface. The 12.1" touchscreen display offers multilingual instructions as well as video guidance for best welding results. The integrated process and quality control add to the installer’s peace of mind. During the fusion process,

jointing distance and jointing pressure are always controlled and monitored. The heating and cooling process are optimised according to the ambient temperature, while the components are measured by an IR temperature sensor. An integrated video camera documents handling and preparation, and fusion joint data is easily and safely obtainable.
