Welds fresh thermocouples on demand consistent in size and quality, and without detrimental oxide layers.
Perfect for medical applications to anchor arthroscopic tools.
May also be used to aid in the normal resistance welding of very small wires; by forming a ball on the end of the wire, more mass is given to weld the wire to something else.
The TCW will make thermocouples of all commercially available thermocouple alloys including:
B Platinum 30 Rh - Platinum 6 Rh C Tungsten 5 Re - Tungsten 26 Re E Chromel - Constantan J Iron - Constantan K Chromel - Alumel R Platinum 13 Rh - Platinum S Platinum 10 Rh - Platinum T Copper - Constantan
TCW features an argon gas weld chamber for joining most thermocouple wire from 38 AWG (.004 inch/.102 mm diameter) to 20 AWG (.032 inch/.813 mm diameter).
Easy As 1-2-3 TCW is easy to use and designed to operate either in a production or laboratory environment. First, select the wire gauge using the selector knob on the front panel. Then, simply load the stripped wire (1), insert the handpiece (2), and remove the welded thermocouple (3). Operators should average 5 to 10 welds per minute on a production basis, if wires are prestripped and the control is preset.
Free Offer Send us sample lengths of thermocouple wire. We will weld the thermocouple junctions with the TCW and return them for your evaluation.
High Speed Adaptive Feedback Produces consistent, reliable welds with optimal nugget formation, superior joint strength and excellent surface appearance
Process Control Provides millisecond control over the resistance welding process
Closed-Loop Feedback A feedback rate of every 500 microseconds, maintains programmed weld current or power
Technically Advanced Inverter Technology Improves spot and seam welding of traditionally ′′hard to weld′′ materials including coated steels, aluminum, brass and copper
Shorter Weld Times Compared to conventional AC welders, DC Inverter technology produces heat more efficiently, thus decreasing weld times as much as three to one and reducing the heat affected zone (HAZ)
