Compact machine brazes, solders smaller assemblies

Fusion offers the Rotary Index 100 for brazing and soldering. With a footprint of 36 by 48 in., it is designed for small assemblies. Rates typically are 100 to 200 parts per hour, depending on assembly mass and configuration. Brass, copper, steel, stainless, and aluminum can be joined on the machine.

The production sequence begins with an operator who loads the assembly into a stainless steel fixture. An automatic dispenser applies fusion paste filler metal to the joint area. The assemblies then index through two or three flame heat stations and an air and water cooling sequence before unloading.

The machine is equipped with clear, acrylic guarding on three sides. Utilities required are 120 VAC, natural gas or propane, 80-PSI air, water, and drain.
