Best Robot Welder?

FLRoofPro

Anyone have experience with Robot Welders for single ply? Looking at the Sievert TW5000 vs. the PWT Lazr. The Leisters are $3000-4000 more and hard for me to see how they are worth that much more. Let me know what you are using and if you would recommend it. Thanks!

My experience with either is seeing them at the trade shows. I haven't used either. I have an old old Leister Variant (no not varimat) that Ed loaned to me. The variant is nothing like the new robots on the market. Last year I was thinking of buying a new one and really had my eye on the seivert. It seems to have all the same fatures as th Leister.

Robot welding is the use of mechanized programmable tools (robots), which completely automate a welding process by both performing the weld and handling the part. Processes such as gas metal arc welding, while often automated, are not necessarily equivalent to robot welding, since a human operator sometimes prepares the materials to be welded.

The leister Varimat is the best one on the market.
It has a better air dam system better suspension and tracks better.
On difficult jobs this machine will shine while the others will wrinkle and burn the sheets.
Id look for a used leister before I bought any of the others.

Check out the V2 they claim almost 40' a minute!!!!!

I saw the V-2 at the roofing convention. I got a better deal in a regular Varimat-V . The V-2 just a tad to pricey.

There is a reason that the Leister is more expensive. You get what you pay for. Having said that I would get the best that you can afford or look for a used Varimat.
