TÜV SÜD Field Inspected Projection Spot Welder

General Information

This machine was designed to meet the more stringent electrical requirements introduced in the new NFPA 79:2018 electrical codes, and ever increasing safety demands of OSHA and Nationally Recognized Testing Labs (NRTLs) like UL, TUV, CEA, and ETL.
This machine will ship with a TÜV SÜD field label sticker, as well as a Verification Letter to the NFPA 79 standard.
  • Assumes all safety critical components have appropriate certifications and are appropriately listed as required.
  • Manuals, BOM, and electrical drawings are provided electronically for each unit to be labeled.

This machine is a Projection Welder, based on our PRPP design.


The PRPP is our full size model press, RWMA size “2”.
