The Braze Mate is the ideal automatic brazing machine for low volume applications or short runs of various part styles.
In production, an operator loads the part into a stainless steel fixture. A premeasured deposit of Fusion Paste Alloy is applied to the joint area with a hand-held applicator gun. As an option, this gun can be mounted to an automatic slide. The operator then activates dual, zero-pressure "touch" buttons, which initiates the machine cycle.
Automatically, a fixed pattern of gas/air burners advances into heating position. Oscillating flames eliminate "hot spots" at the assembly joint area. Once joining temperature is reached, the burner manifold retracts into idle position. A gradual air and water cooling sequence is followed by manual part inspection and final unloading. Depending on the application, 1 or 2 parts can be run each cycle.
Fusion offers three Braze Mate machine models:
- Braze Mate 100 (click here for specs.)
- Dimensions: 36" x 48"
- Single heat system; gas/air
- Typical Rate: 60 parts per hour maximum
- Braze Mate 150 (click here for specs.)
- Dimensions: 72" x 48"
- Single heat system; gas/air
- Typical Rate: 60-120 parts per hour maximum
- Recommended for large, multiple joint parts, or for running multiple
identical parts simultaneously.
- Braze Mate 200 (click here for specs.)
- Dimensions: 72" x 48"
- Dual heat systems; gas/air
- Typical Rate: 120 parts per hour maximum
Heat systems are independently controlled so
different parts can be joined simultaneously
