LEISTER's UNIDRIVE 500 closes the gap between hand and automatic welding

By Leister.

We have good news for roofers that have welded roofs by hand.

The new UNIDRIVE 500 from LEISTER makes life easier with its semi-automatic, hot-air welding machine that combines hand and automatic welding in one, compact device. Weld two to three times faster than traditional hand welding when working close to the edge, areas with limited space and more.

Welding flat and pitched roofs

The UNIDRIVE 500s overlap technology enables the tool to weld all thermoplastic geomembranes, e.g. polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO). In addition to welding various thermoplastic membranes, you are able to weld flat or pitched roofs with ease.

Weld close to the edge and in small spaces

Our development team has come up with something special so that you no longer have to worry about the difficulties of welding close to the edge or in small spaces: a rotating nozzle and dual drive. Watch the video to see how it works.

UNIDRIVE 500 redefines hand welding and excels in areas that were otherwise a problem for roofers, e.g. welding on or at the parapet, skylight domes, head laps, connections or small terraces.

Optimal pressure, low-maintenance and fast

Guided by two handles, you're able to apply optimal pressure for all basic welds without exhausting yourself. The UNIDRIVE 500s brushless motors require very little maintenance, keeping you as productive as possible. Additionally, this semi-automatic welder enables weld speeds that are two to three times faster than traditional hand welding.

Unmatched by the competition - thanks to its rotating nozzle and dual direction welding capabilities

The UNIDRIVE 500 is easy to operate thanks to its intuitive user guidance; You can change the drive direction from left to right (or vice versa) in no time at all.

A specially developed sensor ensures constant parameters, enabling you to achieve thorough and high-quality welds, even at low voltages. Additionally, the UNIDRIVE 500s digital display ensures that the you have everything under control while welding.

UNIDRIVE 500s Unbeatable Advantages
