Micro-Measurements’ New Portable Strain Gage Welding Unit Is Capable of 60 Welds per Minute Making it One of the Fastest To...

Micro-Measurements®, a Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG) brand,
today announced its Model 700B welder unit -- a portable,
lightweight instrument ideal for installing weldable strain gages
and temperature sensors to metallic surfaces in difficult
industrial and outdoor field environments.
A key enhancement of the 700B is its use of commercially
available Lithium-ion batteries that are easily replaced in the
field and which can handle 1500 welds (@30 joules) on a single
charge (equivalent to welding around 30 linear weldable gage). The
lightweight unit, which weighs approximately 8.3 lb. (3.77 Kg), is
ideal for field operation, solving the main limitations of other
portable spot welders currently on the market. The unit can also be
used to weld small thermocouples and light-gauge metal.
Ron Zukerman, Worldwide Director of Sales & Marketing for
Micro-Measurements, said: “The Model 700B enhances
Micro-Measurements’ broad portfolio of weldable gages which are
suitable for all types of applications and environments. These
gages include encapsulated, sealed and high-temperature versions of
Micro-Measurements’ CEA, LWK, LEA , LZN and LZE families of
products. Because they are spot-welded rather than adhesively
bonded, weldable sensors can be readily installed using the Model
700B in field applications under a wide variety of weather
conditions.”
The welding energy of the Model 700B can be easily set by the
user from 10 up to 60 Joules with capability of up to 60 welds per
minute, making it one of the fastest tools of its kind. Whether
working suspended under a structure or in a production plant, the
700B is easy to clip onto a harness or to carry around remote
job sites. It is especially ideal for working from rope access,
aerial lifts, or in a laboratory setting.
The 700B kit and options include:
- 700B Spot welder
- Welding Handle assembly
- Grounding cables (with mechanical and magnetic clamps)
- Welding tips
- Lithium-ion batteries and battery charger
- Ballistic Nylon work bag (optional)
- Rugged Transit Case (optional)
