In many cases, the process is smaller than what the human eye can see, thus magnification is key to properly observing the process results. We offer a range of different magnification devices that can be used to look at the weld to detect small defects. An eye loupe is an indispensable item that can be used for quick observation. To take pictures of the process, portable, USB microscope, desktop stereoscopes, and Trinocular Microscopes are available.
An eye loupe is an indispensable item for quick observation. This pocket sized tool will magnify the process 10x and allows for the first line of inspection.

Water chillers are necessary for cooling higher powered welders. They control the temperature of the water to keep condensation from building when facility water cannot. The following chillers provide the necessary cooling capacity for the approximate kVA Rating running at full power and duty cycle. The table below is a general rule, always consider each circuit in the welding system for required GPM (Gallons Per Minute).
Cold Air Guns use vortex tube technology and filtered compressed air to produce sub-freezing air as low as -30 deg F for numerous industrial spot cooling applications. With no moving parts to wear out, Cold Air Guns require no electricity, just a compressed air source. The Vortex Cold Air Gun System includes a magnetic base and a 5 micron auto-drain compressed air filter. Great for spot cooling when water cooling is not sufficient or available.
- Compressed air pressure: (psig) 80 – 100
- Inlet size: (NPT pipe thread, inches) ¼
- Minimum outlet temperature, deg F: (at 70 deg F inlet air) -10
- Air consumption @ 100 psig: (scfm) 15
- Outlet air flow rate: (scfm) 2 to 15
- Dimensions, inches – overall length: 19 5/8,

One method to test the strength of a weld is to pull the two joined materials apart. The 200 lb pull tester can be configured for tension or compression testing applications up to 200 lbF (890 N) for laboratory and production needs. The 10-420-01, 200 lbs pull tester comes with motorized test stand, force gauge, and wedge grips. Platform is customizable for specific applications.
Auto drain air filter, 5 micron element, metal bowl with sight glass, differential pressure indicator, for use with all air actuated weld heads.
The Model FS2L two-level footswitch is intended for use with all AMADA power supplies. The first level actuates the weld head via the air valve driver of the power supply; the second level, along with the force firing switch in the weld head, initiates the welding current.
The Model FS1L one-level footswitch also may be used with all AMADA power supplies. The single level switch actuates the weld head and initiates the welding current simultaneously (when the firing switch closes).
Single level Firing Switch without safety guard. Used to fire power supplies immediately upon initiation.
The Model CP cable pedal pivots under the heel for optimum force control. It is equipped with an adjustable down-stop which prevents the application of excess force. It is rated at 25 pounds, and can be used with the 50F, 80F, 86F, or 87F Thin-Line™ weld heads.
The Model MSP medium force swing pedal is fully adjustable for length, stroke, angle and left or right-foot operation. It provides a 5-to-1 mechanical advantage and is rated at 100 pounds. It is used with 83F, 84F, 88F, 89F, and 180F Thin-Line weld heads.
Holds Heidenhain type displacement sensors ST-1278 and ST-3078 to Thinline series weld heads as noted.
Highly conductive workpiece materials generally require electrodes of high resistance. Similarly, hard materials require softer, copper-based electrodes. When welding dissimilar materials such as copper and nickel, the normal choice would be a molybdenum electrode against the copper and a GLIDCOP electrode against the nickel.
If stored energy or half-cycle equipment is used to weld dissimilar materials, place the more resistive material against the negative electrode. Likewise, if similar materials with thickness ratios greater than 4:1 are welded, place the thinner material against the negative electrode.
To clean electrode surface and maintain shape, electrodes should be dressed with either 600 or 1000 grit silicon carbide paper, rather than with a file. Refer to page 7 for polishing disks.

Unibond electrodes are used for parallel gap bonding and reflow soldering. Generally, RWMA2 copper Unibond electrodes are used with resistive and/or hard materials such as gold plated kovar and nickel. Molybdenum Unibond electrodes are used for bonding conductive or soft materials such as copper or gold. The face of a Unibond electrode is 0.020 in (0.5 mm) wide by 0.030 in (0.75 mm) deep. In unfixtured applications, this limits their use to bonding ribbons (wire) which are at least 0.010 in (0.25 mm) wide because of the limited visibility.

Unitips are electrodes for parallel gap bonding of gold plated kovar, copper, or gold ribbons (wires) which are smaller than 0.010 in (0.25 mm). They are made from two pieces of molybdenum, which are permanently bonded to an insulating spacer. This fixed gap and bonded construction results in a tip which wears uniformly when properly dressed. The length of the Unitip and the flat area on the front allows it to bond ribbons extremely close to the walls of packages as deep as 0.450 in (11.5 mm). The narrower Thinline “L” series Unitips have a tapered profile, enabling them to be used closer to the corners of packages.
