Gray cast iron (GCI) The safest protection against welding spatter! The high graphite content in our special grey cast iron rails does not cause a firm connection of welding spatter on the table surface. In the same way that graphite in foundry technology protects plants from metal buildup, it protects your welding table from splashes. Even larger droplets become so brittle in the transition zone that they can be easily pushed away and do not affect the flatness of the table surface. The open-pored surface creates an immediate interaction of the embedded graphite particles in the porous cast...

Technologies Aluminum Copper Alloy (Al/Cu) Table surface for processing stainless steel The professional processing of stainless steel requires a consistent separation of ferritic materials and thus also a corresponding welding workbench, since even the finest adhesions and scratches on the surface can cause further corrosion. Due to the relatively high tensile strength (= F37, similar to construction steel) with lower surface hardness, no damage is caused to polished stainless steel surfaces. The high thermal conductivity of the Al/Cu alloy at normal temperature almost completely rules out the...

Technologies T-slot system Continuous positioning without grid restrictions T-slot in the table surface (GCI/AlCu/X-Pro): With our T-slot system, you can position all clamping elements and stops at any point on the table. You can use it to weld and assemble frames, tubes, housings and more, in any position you want. Standard sliding block Rhombic sliding block Double sliding block Sliding block between 2 GCI Rails Defined engravings in the rails make it easy to count larger distances. The rhombus sliding block can also be used later, in a free space of an already partially occupied T-slot. This...

X-Pro profile T-slot in clamping and stop elements Double T-slot profile The precise alignment of the clamping is carried out by continuously moving and simply fixing the slings and clamping elements. Profiles made of high-strength aluminum alloy (=F 37). T-slot allows all Förster clamping and stop elements to be accommodated. As a groove attachment for stop brackets or for setting up stop walls for 3-D constructions the profiles can be moved and locked in two axes. Connectors for simple and two-axis moving are available as accessories. 3D modular system Due to modern manufacturing processes,...
