WELPING introduces a new 355 butt fusion clamp design with die-cast structure, improved consistency, dual 355mm/14” compatibility, and enhanced mobility.

This article explains the role of a data logger in PE pipe butt fusion welding. By automatically recording key parameters such as temperature, pressure, heating time, and cooling time, the data logger helps create traceable welding records. Compatible with A, FX, and A Pro series machines, it supports ISO and DVS standards and improves quality control in pipeline construction projects.

WELPING’s upgraded FX500 Butt Fusion Welding Machine now features an integrated crane hoist for simpler, safer operation. Our sales team recently completed hands-on workshop training, directly operating the machine to master its design and performance.

Grooving large steel pipes from 8" to 24" introduces challenges that go beyond simple machine power. Structural rigidity, hydraulic stability, and controlled roller pressure play a critical role in achieving consistent groove quality. This article explains the key factors affecting large-diameter grooving and discusses how machines like the RG-4X are designed to address these operational demands.

This article explains why internal gear drive matters in a pipe fusion facer used for butt fusion welding. Compared with common chain-driven structures, a gear-driven system provides more stable transmission, smoother rotation, and easier maintenance. By driving the cutter plates evenly, it allows both pipe ends to be faced simultaneously, helping ensure consistent pipe preparation before welding.

While many vises look similar from a distance, a closer inspection reveals the vast differences in materials, engineering, and durability.

At WELPING, we apply automotive-grade manufacturing standards to our tools. Here is a technical breakdown of why the WELPING H401 Tri-Stand Chain Vise outperforms standard medium and low-quality alternatives on the market.

This article explains the engineering rationale behind the green heating plate used on FX series butt fusion machines. As the highest-spec heating plate within the product range, it features multi-point temperature testing, a thicker plate body, reliable internal components, and industrial-grade connections. Designed for temperature consistency and long-term stability, it forms part of the overall FX system configuration.

The clamp inserts are designed to

cover a wide range of pipe sizes,

significantly reducing the need for

multiple insert combinations.

For example, a large span from

90mm to 315mm requires only three

sets of inserts, greatly improving

work efficiency.

Meanwhile, the inserts feature a

high-strength structure, pressurecast for durability, making them

suitable for heavy-duty applications.

The PTC140 pipe cutting machine is built on a single, consistent bench-top platform, with differences mainly in power supply rather than cutting performance. Available in AC-powered and lithium battery versions, it adapts to both fixed workshops and mobile job-site use. The shared structure, simple operation, and flexible configuration make the PTC140 suitable for daily installation, prefabrication, and maintenance work.

The second-generation AG-8Z automatic hydraulic roll grooving machine introduces practical upgrades based on real operating feedback. Improvements include a redesigned hydraulic system for continuous use, enhanced mobility with updated wheels and telescopic handles, optional wireless remote control, expanded capacity up to 16", and a scaled depth adjustment screw. The result is improved stability, consistency, and usability in high-duty grooving applications.

The FUSINGX rubber roller pipe stand is designed for DN630–DN1200 PE pipes, providing stable support during welding and pipe handling operations. Featuring a heavy-duty steel frame, rubber-coated rollers, and a wide-base structure, it enables smoother pipe movement and improved alignment. With a designed load capacity of approximately 1.5 tons, the product is currently in pre-launch stage.

The RG-1C roll grooving machine shares the same core grooving capability as the RG-1X, with the main difference in its fixed stand and wheels. The added structure does not change grooving performance, but makes stability and handling easier for fixed workshop use. It is ideal for continuous or repetitive grooving tasks at a set workstation.

This article introduces a practical PE pipe cutting method designed for trench and on-site applications. Side-type PE pipe cutters allow cutting when space is limited and pipes are already installed. With clean cuts and minimal debris, this method is suitable for electrofusion and butt fusion preparation, especially for on-site PE pipe installation and adjustment.

The FX500 butt fusion welding machine is a mid-range model in the FX series by FusingX, designed for everyday HDPE pipe welding around the commonly used 500 mm size. With a stable clamping frame, mobile hydraulic unit, and standard facer and heating plate, it offers a balanced and practical setup for routine on-site pipeline construction work.
