First, let's talk about how the VARIMAT 700 is delivered. It comes in a sturdy rolling transport case with extra-large wheels and a telescopic handle, similar to luggage. Yes, you heard right. Just as you would take your "luggage" to the airport, you can conveniently roll the 37 kg VARIMAT 700 in its case to the desired location on the construction site. This is ergonomic and will certainly please all roofers. Vacation feeling included ;-).

Ever wonder why the VARIMAT 700 weighs 37 kg? There is a good reason for this. Thanks to the optimized placement of its integrated internal weight, you achieve greater contact pressure and constant process reliability when welding all membrane types. By the way: If required, simply add an additional weight (3 kg) for increased welding pressure.

Balanced - What does that Mean?

Our engineers have devised a balanced triangular design (wheels/transport axle) for the VARIMAT 700. As a result, the roof welding machine provides stable handling and tracks straight. To increase versatility, it also has an adjustable rear transport axis that can be easily retracted when welding against a wall, for example.

Flexible Voltage Selection

Our customers work with different voltages. With the VARIMAT 700, you are absolutely flexible in this respect. You can choose between 230 V and 400 V and simply change over at any time.

Hello Pool Builder

So far, we have only discussed using the VARIMAT 700 on the roof. But there is another area of application that require a little deeper "dive". The VARIMAT 700 is also ideal for welding membranes in swimming pool construction. And that's not all. Even truck tarpaulins and advertising banners can be conveniently welded with the automatic welding machine.

Leister Quality System LQS Roofing

The VARIMAT 700 automatic welder is equipped with the proven Leister Quality System - LQS Roofing. This allows you to create quality documentation of the completed welds based on the GPS coordinates, saved and shared via the myLeister app. Thanks to the device's power management, even with undervoltage of up to 20 %, you can still achieve required set welding temperatures. As soon as the undervoltage is greater than 20 %, the VARIMAT 700 switches off automatically, as the set welding parameters can no longer be maintained, and the welding quality may no longer be guaranteed. To help you set the right welding parameters quickly, Leister offers the ability to create custom welding profiles as well as a "library" of tried-and-tested welding recipes in the myLeister app.
