| The
Braze Mate is the ideal automatic
brazing machine for low volume applications or short
runs of various part styles.
In
production, an operator loads the part into a stainless
steel fixture. A premeasured deposit of Fusion Paste
Alloy is applied to the joint area with a hand-held
applicator gun. As an option, this gun can be mounted
to an automatic slide. The operator then activates
dual, zero-pressure "touch" buttons, which
initiates the machine cycle.
Automatically,
a fixed pattern of gas/air burners advances into heating
position. Oscillating flames eliminate "hot spots"
at the assembly joint area. Once joining temperature
is reached, the burner manifold retracts into idle
position. A gradual air and water cooling sequence
is followed by manual part inspection and final unloading.
Depending on the application, 1 or 2 parts can be
run each cycle. |
