🔋 Hot Spot I Portable T/C Welder
The Hot Spot I Portable Thermocouple Welder is designed to produce repeatable welds on fine-gauge thermocouple wire for sensor fabrication, repair, laboratory, and field applications. Its compact 7 lb design allows it to be used on the bench or carried to the installation site.
The welder operates from 120 VAC, 60 Hz power or its rechargeable battery and provides adjustable weld energy from 5 to 50 watt-seconds. It can weld thermocouple wire from 36 to 24 AWG, with capability up to 20 AWG for Type J, K, and E wire

Select the proper weld-energy setting and technique for the thermocouple alloy and wire gauge being joined. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and applicable workplace procedures for electrical, eye, burn, and welding hazards. Completed thermocouples should be inspected and, where measurement validation is required, calibrated as part of the complete temperature measurement system to confirm proper operation and measurement accuracy.
