Epoxy Resin PX900D

Epoxy Resin PX900D/BK

PX900D is a low viscosity unfilled epoxy resin system designed for use in the electronics industry for applications requiring high levels of insulation resistance, chemical resistance and elevated temperature use.
Capable of room temperature curing, the resin exhibits relatively high heat distortion temperatures.


Microflame Welder

Microflame Welder

The Microflame Welder has been designed for use wherever there is a need for soldering, brazing, welding or cutting of small precision components. The Microflame Welder is therefore suitable for use in flame industries where cleanliness and flame control is important.
The flame burns very cleanly and is slightly 'reducing' in chemical terms, therefore the work is not contiminated with soot and oxides.
Mineral Insulated Thermo Welding Machine

MI Thermocouple Welder

The MM01 is specifically designed for welding the hot juntions of mineral insulated thermocouples.
Either Earthed (Bonded) Junction or Insulated Junction welds can be accommodated. The machine will weld thermocouples from 1.0mm to 6.0mm outside diameter.
The welder is divided into two sections to accommodate the two different welding processes associted with the junction of an MI thermocouple.
SR48 Bench Welder

SR48 Bench Welder

The SR48 is a mains powered capacitance welding device.
Capacitance welding is generally used for the welding of similar or dissimilar wires (thermocouple junction welds) and for impact welding wires to conductive material.
The SR48 can be used for attaching wires to Pt100 (or other types of sensing elements) to manufacture resistance thermometers.
SR50 Bench Portable Welder

SR50 Bench Portable Welder

The SR50 is a battery / mains powered capacitance welding device.
Capacitance welding is generally used for the welding of similar or dissimilar wires (thermocouple junction welds) and for impact welding wires to conductive material.
The SR50 can be used for attaching wires to Pt100 (or other types of sensing elements) to manufacture resistance thermometers.

 

SR80 Universal Welder

SR80 Universal Welder

Thermocouple junction welds are the most common application for the SR80.
The SR80 can be used for capacitance welding and impact welding. An Argon supply can be connected to this welder via the spigot on the rear of the instrument for Argon welding.
The SR80 can be used for attaching wires to Pt100 (or other types of sensing elements) to manufacture resistance thermometers.


Heavy Duty Crimper

Heavy Duty Crimper

The HDC-1 Heavy Duty Crimper is designed for the hex crimping of stainless tubes etc..
It can be used in temperature sensor manufacture to crimp stainless steel sensor sheaths to cables, potting seals to sheaths and for other general crimping operations e.g. crimping conduits and ferrules.
The HDC-1 is bench mounted and the extended arm means that even large diameter tubes can be crimped with minimal effort.
MI Cable Straightener

MI Cable Straightener

The MCS-1 mineral insulated (MI) cable straightener is designed to straighten all types of mineral insulated cable (thermocouple, RTD, etc.) up to 8mm diameter. Straightening is achieved by passing the cable through fixed bushes and a central rotating yoke.
The unit is supplied with hard-wearing PTFE bushes for 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0mm diameter MI cables. Other size bushes are available.

Mineral Insulated Cable Precision Drilling Machine

Precision Drilling Machine

The MM02 complements the MI Thermocouple Welding Machine. The Drilling Machine is designed to remove the insulation from the end of a prepared sample of MI cable in order to facilitate a complete welded measurement junction.The insulation is removed along with a section of conductor by drilling the end of the cable precisely.


 

UCES-400 Ultrasonic Cable End Stripper

Ultrasonic Cable End Stripper

The UCES-400 uses powerful pulses of ultrasonic energy to strip the sheath from mineral insulated cable.The ultrasonic energy transfers to the insulation on contact, de-compacts and liquifies the powder, which escapes the end of the cable. The result is that all the powder in the stripped section is cleanly removed leaving the conductors completely untouched.

Warming Oven

Cable End Warming Oven

When making the Measuring (hot) junction of MI Thermocouples and RTD’s it is advisable to keep the open end of the cable warm.

This avoids the slow ingress of moisture into the cable insulation, which would lower the Insulation Resistance. Keeping the cable warm is beneficial in welding process. This is important for high measurement integrity. Moisture in a closed junction will eventually lead to failure of the thermocouple.
