Compact socket welding machine

Ritmo’s Prisma Jig

Prisma Jig is a compact socket welding machine for HDPE, PP and PP-R, PVDF, and PB OD 20-125mm. Standard composition steel clamps are available from 63 to 125mm, or on request from 20 to 63mm. The machine has a steel frame that can be used as a support to the aligning body. The unit can work in tight spaces, after a swift releasing manoeuvre of the frame. The Prisma Jig has two trolleys – one fixed and one movable – with practical closing hand-wheels in order to ensure a perfect grip between clamp and pipe/fitting. The machine also features steel auto-centring clamps: a special clamp for the fitting, and a couple of paired clamps designed to keep the pipe in position. The trolley closing and opening operations are performed by a ‘mutual’ starter. The special fittings clamp is placed on the fixed trolley. Whenever the type of work requires a different clamping configuration, it is easy to unlock and change the machine’s operation. Heating is performed by the R 125 Q hand socket welder with TFE fixed temperature control. The main feature of the TFE device is its security: an acoustic auto-diagnosis alarm indicates when the heating plate has reached the working temperature, but also shuts off the heating plate automatically if an anomaly occurs. With a combined control system, the TFE device responds quickly to temperature fluctuations caused by external causes. It also gives greater stability, welding precision and reliability. A sustaining handle may be placed at the heating plate, in order to simplify the working phases. The R 125 Q is available in 110 and 230V. The welding machine is available in two versions, depending on the type of sockets and spigots supplied.
