The New Model 700B – Rapid Capacitive Discharge Welder for Precision Strain Gage Installation | Micro-Measurements
The Micro-Measurements Model 700B Welder is the next evolution of our renowned Model 700 Welder, used worldwide for the installation of tens of thousands of strain gages (gauges). Designed with enhanced portability, flexibility, and safety, the 700B combines decades of proven performance with new features based on customer feedback. This compact, powerful welder offers an efficient solution for quickly and reliably installing weldable strain gages, temperature sensors, and thermocouples—even in challenging field conditions.
Core Features of the Model 700B Welder:
- Compact and Lightweight: Easy to carry and transport, perfect for fieldwork in various environments.
- Adjustable Weld Energy: Continuously adjustable from 10 to 60 joules, allowing for precise control to suit different applications such as strain gages (gauges), temperature sensors, and light-gage metals.
- High Welding Rate: Capable of up to 60 welds per minute, improving efficiency and reducing installation time.
- Rechargeable Battery: Equipped with a replaceable Li-Ion battery for uninterrupted operation, along with a “low-battery” indicator for timely recharging.
- Portable Carrying Bag (Optional): Features a convenient bag with a shoulder strap and belt loops, providing space for cables, batteries, charger, welding tips, and user manual.
Applications of the Model 700B Welder Across Multiple Fields
The Strain Gage Installation system is ideal for precise and reliable installation of Micro-Measurements’ CEA, LWK, LEA, LZN, and LZE weldable strain gages. It also provides effective, secure Temperature Sensor Installation for thermal testing and various applications, alongside Thermocouple Welding capabilities that enable spot-welding of small thermocouples onto light-gage metal components. Built for Field Applications, this robust system performs reliably even in adverse outdoor or demanding environments.
Real-World Example:
A structural monitoring team used the Model 700B in a remote location to install strain gages (gauges) on steel beams. Thanks to the welder's high welding rate and portability, the team completed the setup in record time, ensuring minimal disruption to the structure’s operational schedule.
