Semi-Automatic Parallel Seam Sealer
SM-8500
Product Description
Packed with advanced features, the Windows® based SM8500, reliably performs hermetic resistance welding, brazing, and soldering processes on a variety of metals, alloys, plated materials, and solder pre-forms. SM8500 can be operated as either a stand-alone unit or fully integrated into a glovebox enclosure for a complete closed-loop hermetic sealing process for applications including optoelectronic packaging, semiconductor packaging, transistor outline package welding, and more.
Key Features
- Parallel Seam Sealing System – SM8500
- Utilizes the advanced HF25 25 kHz closed-loop feedback weld power supply.
- Programmable electrode force enables user to optimize both force and energy.
- Indexed electrodes ensure extended, even wear providing superior results.
- Position-based weld pulses provide increased or decreased energy at part corners reducing corner leaks.
- Electrode roll-back feature facilitates electrode release from light weight parts.
- Circular mode seam sealing allows processing of round parts.
- Operates as tacker only, sealer only, or combined tacker-sealer
- Four-pass welding feature starts weld from center and welds to the part corner – for large part sealing
- Set different energy levels for each axis welded for higher yields on rectangular parts
- Many tacking options – tack centre, four-side tacking, multiple tacking
- Real time monitoring of weld inhibit inputs such as moisture, oxygen, and helium levels
- Unlimited weld schedule storage
- Lid hold down feature assists tacking process
- Multiple weld schedule chaining feature
- Optional CCTV camera available to assist the operator for improved lid placement
- Batch reporting option
