Advanced Drive Solutions by Leister Redefine Industrial Welding
New brushless drive generation for Leister welding equipment
With the new MICROdrive, ECOdrive and POWERdrive motor families, Leister is taking a targeted technological step forward in industrial drive technology. These brushless motors are developed and manufactured entirely in-house. They are specifically designed for use in Leister welding equipment. They therefore form a key technological component of future generations of devices.
“The motor has a direct impact on the performance, control accuracy and lifespan of a welding device,” explains Pascal Bösch, Vice President R&D at Leister. “By developing our own motor technology, we can tailor it precisely to real-world applications – rather than compromising with off-the-shelf standard solutions.”
Enhanced Performance for Industrial Applications
Brushless drive technology enables more precise control of airflow, higher energy efficiency and maintenance-free continuous operation. For users, this means more stable processes, reproducible welding results, and higher system availability – especially in demanding plastic welding applications.
Three brushless motors, clear application focus
- MICROdrive is the world’s smallest brushless blower motor in its class. Weighing just 68 grams and reaching speeds up to 40,000 rpm, it is particularly suited for compact industrial hand tools that require high power density, compact dimensions, and precision.
- ECOdrive combines industrial performance and longevity with a sustainable material concept. The use of ferrite magnets without rare earths improves repairability and recyclability while maintaining high robustness for continuous use.
- POWERdrive is designed for high-performance drive applications in industrial environments. The standardized digital interface also enables easy and precise integration into control and device systems while ensuring high process stability, even under demanding conditions.
“Our customers benefit directly: Process-reliable, more compact, more powerful devices, along with a significantly extended lifespan and lower operating and maintenance costs, have a noticeable impact on quality and cost-effectiveness,” says Bösch.
Already in use – platform strategy planned
The new generation of motors is already in use in devices such as the WELDPLAST 300 (Launch May 26) and WELDPLAST 600 and will be consistently integrated into our new product developments. Further integrations are planned for, among others, the new TRIAC, HOT JET, VARIANT, and VARIMAT products. In the coming years, Leister will use its unified and future-proof motor platform across its entire portfolio.
Swiss Made – developed for the future industrial reality
All motors are manufactured exclusively for Leister devices. No standard solutions, no compromises – just drive technology at the highest level, precisely tailored to industrial welding processes.
Why is this relevant for the industry?
Because the new motor technology combines sustainable material concepts with high process stability and performance – and thus measurably improves the process quality, reproducibility and service life of industrial welding applications.
