1. Description o product
This chapter gives important basic information about the product and its prescribed use.
All technical details of the machine are put together as a general arrangement.
1.1. Mounting and purpose-oriented use
The WI OS 4001 is a workshop machine and especially designed for the heating element butt
welding of pipes and fittings from Ø = 90 mm - 315 mm (standard diameters are 90 / 110 / 125
/ 140 / 160 / 180 / 200 / 225 / 250 / 280 / 315 mm).
The machine is equipped with an electrohydraulic adjusting device for control and application
of the welding pressure, a planer and a heating element, two transport handles, a basic
clamping device (swivelling on each side up to 15° for the fabrication of segmented bends and
fittings).
For the compensation of diameter tolerances the right-hand clamping tools is axially movable.
Hydraulic unit, planer, heating element and clamping tools can be easily removed for
transporting the machine even into difficulty accessible rooms.
By means of an optional available conversion kit with 2
nd
cylinder, larger planer and heating
element, even the diameters 355 / 400 and 450 mm can be clamped and welded.
T- and cross pieces up to O 250 can be welded with an additional special angle clamping
device.
Any other use o this control unit is considered not to be purpose-oriented.
The machine is only to be used in a technically perfect condition, as well as purpose oriented,
safety- and danger-conscious in compliance with the working instructions and the relevant
safety regulations (especially the regulations for the prevention of accidents).
The described plastic welding machine may only be operated, maintained and repaired by
persons who are trained and informed about the dangers.
For personal injuries, material and immaterial damages resulting herefrom, only the user is
responsible!
Also part of the appropriate usage are
• following all indications of the working instructions and
• performing the inspection and maintenance works.

At first, the clamping tools are fixed on the machine slide.
For the fabrication of angles and bows, the clamping tools can be turned on both sides.
The plastic pipes are clamped by means of the clamping tools.
If necessary, stabilize the pipes by means of roller stands or pipe supports (for bows, a
supporting angle is existing).
Then the front sides of the pipes are planed parallel by means of the planer and the
misalignment of the pipes is checked.
Now the heating element is swivelled in and the pipes are pressed against the heating element
under defined adjusting pressure. This process is called "adjusting".
After the prescribed bead height being reached, pressure is reduced, heat up time begins.
The function of this time is to heat up the pipe ends.
After expiration of the heat up time, the slides are opened, the heating element is swivelled out
quickly and the pipes are closed again hydraulically.
The time gap from the removal of the heating element to joining the pipes is called change
over time.
The pipes are joined under prescribed welding pressure and then cool down under pressure
(cooling time).
The welded joint can be unclamped, the welding process is finished.
Heating element heats
up the pipes up to
welding temperature
Finished welding with
inside and outside bead
