Thermocouple Welder Easy As 1-2-3 The TC-W100A thermocouple welder is easy to use and designed to operate in either 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. KEY FEATURES • 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. (1) Load stripped wire (3) Remove welded thermocouple Welded thermocouples • 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) • TC-W100A 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

RESISTANCE WELDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Quality control features Weld chamber Firing circuit Argon gas flowing through the weld chamber ensures a reliable, oxide-free weld. Prestripped wire must be properly loaded into the handpiece and the handpiece correctly inserted into the weld chamber to initiate firing. This loading sequence ensures that the handpiece is double earth grounded for maximum operator safety. Internal filtering prevents false firing due to radio frequency interference. Weld fire lockout Prevents poor welds caused by attempting a weld before the capacitors recharge....
