Compliance & Risk Mitigation

⚡ Adjustable energy supports controlled welding

🌡 Proper attachment supports sensor performance

🎯 Controlled output helps limit excess weld energy

🧰 Correct accessories support repeatable setup

👁️ Appropriate PPE protects the operator

🔌 Verify electrical requirements before operation

🛠 Routine inspection supports reliable operation

Select weld energy, electrodes, accessories, and attachment methods appropriate for the material and application. Operators should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable workplace procedures for electrical, eye, burn, and welding hazards. When fabricating temperature sensors, the completed sensor and measurement system should be verified or calibrated as required by the application.

Quick Action

The HotSpot PLUS is light and portable so you can move it right to where you need to make welds, fixture hardware, and attach thermocouples. The actual welding time is a fraction of a second and the short recycle interval, even at full power, will allow you to make 6 or more welds a minute, even quicker for ordinary gauge thermocouples.

Easy-To-Use

Anyone can quickly become proficient in the use of the HotSpot PLUS. While sophisticated internally, the HotSpot PLUS provides the operator with a firing button and simple on/off and energy level adjustment. The dual capability of pin and thermocouple welding makes the HotSpot PLUS particularly attractive for applications currently employing stud welders and thermocouple attachment units.

Flexible

The HotSpot PLUS welder is a dual range high-energy unit that has the versatility to provide fine control as well as the high power capability needed for heavier welds. Front panel indicators and controls allow the operator to easily monitor the status, set the energy level, and initiate a weld cycle. A remote firing switch is also provided on the attachment handle.

The HotSpot PLUS operates only from AC power. A battery-powered version of the unit is not offered but it can be driven by a low power battery to AC converter. It weighs only 18 lbs. and it;s compact design makes it a very portable package.
