Capacitor discharge welder SR-80

single-phaseACfor steel

The SR-80 is a universal capacitance discharge welder specifically designed for the fast and efficient production of thermocouple measuring junctions and other fine wire welds. Three selectable power ranges are provided allowing for fine adjustment of the weld power. This is particularly useful when welding very fine wires. Wires of dissimilar and similar metals including copper can be welded. A wait lamp with interlock is fitted to prevent the user from using the welder until the current set charge is reached, a facility for connecting Argon is provided for use when very clean welds are required e.g. when welding platinum wires; and a footswitch is also included to allow hands free operation. General Specifications: Energy output: 0 to 80 joules via selectable outputs. Weld capacity: Up to 2 x 1.6mm dia. Power supply: 220/240Vac or 100/120Vac to order. Power cons: Max 360VA, quiescent 5VA. Argon cons: 300l/Hr @5psi. Weight: 5Kg. Dimensions: 310 x 230 x 120mm. Indicators and Controls: LED indication: Mains on, Charging and Argon flow. Meter: Percent of max. charge Weld switch: Activates weld & selects Argon Purge switch: Clears air from Argon circuit. Potentiometer: Sets energy level. Accessories Included: • Power cable • Pliers • Black lead with croc clip • Magnifier • Red filter • 2mm Allen key • Spare carbons(2) • Argon hose • Footswitch Optional Accessories: See below
