We design and build machinery for each stage of MI (mineral-insulated) thermocouple production. Each machine can be supplied individually, or the full range can be supplied as a complete line. The typical sequence is drilling, micro-blasting, welding, and ultrasonic stripping.
Removal of MgO insulation and exposure of the conductors, using either the Automated (Siemens PLC) or Manual drilling machine. Cable range: 1.0-8.0 mm.
The MicroBlaster removes MgO from the hot junction after drilling, preparing the cable for capacitor discharge welding. Dual 1-litre media tanks.
The TPE-WM100 handles both welding operations on one workstation: capacitance discharge (CD) for the hot junction conductor weld, and TIG for the hermetic sheath closure. Cable range: 0.5-8.0 mm.
At the cold end, the ultrasonic stripping machine removes the cable sheathing to expose the internal conductors for termination and potting. 400 W generator, 1.0-8.0 mm cable.
