    Stud Welders

    Join threaded studs and pins to metal surfaces in milliseconds, forming bonds stronger than the studs themselves. Just load a stud into the gun, aim it against your base material, and pull the trigger to fuse the two together.
    Unlike drawn arc stud welders, our capacitor discharge systems work with metals less than a millimeter thick. They won’t leave fastener heads on the opposite side of the base material, so they’re often used for jobs requiring a clean-looking finish, such as attaching handles to high-end cookware. The one-sided welds are also preferred by the USDA for fabricating dairy tanks and other food-safe machinery – with no holes drilled, germs have nowhere to hide.

    • Suitable for steel and stainless steel base materials, as well as aluminum and brass
    Copper-Plated Steel—Copper-plated steel studs have good corrosion resistance.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—18-8 stainless steel studs are more corrosion resistant than copper-plated steel studs.
    Aluminum—Aluminum studs are more lightweight than steel or stainless steel studs. They’re nonmagnetic. In wet environments, they resist corrosion.

    Press these electrodes onto the tips of spot welders to change the size and shape of your weld. Their shank is tapered for easy press-fit installation.
    Pointed Tip—Pointed tip electrodes are the most common electrodes. All are good for most applications, including small welds.
    Flat Tip—Flat tip electrodes create larger welds than pointed electrodes and are best when the weld appearance is less important.
    Convex Tip—Convex tip electrodes are for joining aluminum, brass, and bronze.
    Offset Tip—Those with offset tips are best for spot welding near edges and corners.
    Double-Bent Tip—Others with double-bent tips can reach over a lip or into tight, enclosed areas where straight tips are not able to access both sides of your metal.
    Swivel Tip—Those with swivel tips compensate for misalignment and reduce markings on your metal.

    Spot Welders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Spot Welders.
    Create small welds on mild and galvanized steel as well as stainless steel with these welders. The arms have electrodes with pointed welding tips that hold and weld the metal pieces together. Do not use on aluminum, copper, or copper alloys.
    Water Cooled—Water-cooled welders have more efficient cooling than air-cooled welders, so they won’t overheat even when welding over a long period of time.
    For Maximum Material Thickness—Maximum material thickness is based on the total thickness of multiple sheets of uncoated mild steel when using 4 15/16" arms. Capacities are slightly reduced when welding galvanized steel and stainless steel and when using 9 13/16", 13 3/4", or 19 5/8" arms.

    A two-part alternative to standard electrodes, these electrodes reduce waste since you can reuse the shank. For a complete electrode, you'll need a tip and a shank (both sold separately). Press complete electrodes onto the tips of spot welders to change the size and shape of your weld. When the tip becomes worn, only the tip needs to be replaced.
    Pointed Tip—Pointed tip electrodes are the most common. They’re good for most applications, including small welds.
    Flat Tip—Flat tip electrodes create larger welds than pointed tips and are best when the weld appearance is less important.
    Female—When used with water-cooled spot welders, female tips are less likely to spill water than male tips when swapping them out.

    Band Saw Blade Welders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Band Saw Blade Welders.
    Repair broken band saw blades with the push of a button to get back to cutting without purchasing a new blade. You can also join the ends of coil stock to make custom-sized blades. These all-in-one welders are so straightforward to operate, they’re often found in high school shop classes.
    No matter what angle your blade breaks at, the cutting tool slices like a paper cutter to make straight edges that are ready to weld. Adjustable clamps grip the body of your blade to keep welds aligned and prevent the cutting teeth from distorting. After welding, heat-treat the blade with a few taps of the button until the metal is cherry red to strengthen the joint and minimize future breaks. These welders have a holder on top that keeps the blade steady as you use a coarse grit file (not included) to remove any welding residue that could snag in your saw.

    Low-Temperature Liquid Chillers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Liquid Chillers. Low-Temperature Liquid Chillers.
    Chill coolant down to 0° F—the lowest temperature liquid chillers we offer. They're often used when you want to maintain temperatures below freezing, such as in food processing and for sensitive electronic components. They take your fluid down to a constant uniform temperature and pump that liquid into your cooling system. Monitor the temperature and pressure of the coolant on the LCD display and change the settings using the keypad. They have a window to quickly check the fluid level. This window also acts as a spot to drain or fill the chiller.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Liquid chillers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to chemical regulations.

    Rack-Mount Liquid Chillers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Liquid Chillers. Rack-Mount Liquid Chillers.
    Save floor space—these chillers mount to standard 19" electronics racks, enclosures, and cabinets. Because they're so compact, you can even fit multiple chillers on the same rack. Where other chillers only keep liquid cool within a few full degrees, these chillers are highly precise, maintaining constant, uniform temperatures within 0.18° F. This makes them ideal for equipment where small temperature changes could cause an issue for your process. Also called Peltier chillers, they cool using only electricity, so there's no compressors or refrigerants. Without a compressor, you'll hardly hear them when they're running.
    Fill these chillers with water or glycol solutions, and an internal pump moves the liquid through a cooling system and out to your equipment. There are multiple ways to control these chillers. Use the built-in keypad to manually set the temperature, or connect an external controller of your own to automate temperature changes. View the set temperature, pressure, and flow rate from the digital display. It will also display maintenance reminders and alarms.
    A port on the front lets you quickly check fluid levels and fill the chiller with fluid without removing it from the rack or disconnecting it from your system.

    Send cool water to equipment right from your bench top without compromising precision. These chillers maintain constant, uniform temperatures within 0.2° F where other chillers only keep liquid cool within a few full degrees. This makes them ideal for equipment where small temperature changes could cause an issue, such as microscope cooling plates.
    Fill these chillers with water or glycol solutions, and an internal pump moves the liquid through a cooling system and out to your equipment. Use the built-in keypad to manually set the temperature, or connect an external controller of your own to automate temperature changes. View the set temperature, alerts, and other information from the LED display.
    500 BTU/hr Cooling Capacity—Chillers rated for 500 Btu/hr. are also known as Peltier chillers. They cool liquid using electricity—no need for compressors or refrigerants. Because they don’t use a compressor, you’ll hardly hear them when they’re on. To check fluid levels at a glance, their tank inlet is semi-clear.

    Protect your most temperature-sensitive equipment from overheating. These chillers keep liquids within 0.18° F of the temperature you set. Far more advanced than basic chillers—which are accurate within a few full degrees—they’re even precise enough for use in medical imaging machines. Fill these chillers with distilled water or glycol solutions, and an internal pump moves the liquid out to your equipment and back in a continuous loop. They’re often used with spot-welding systems, molds, lasers, and X-ray diffraction equipment. Use the built-in keypad to manually set the temperature, or connect an external controller of your own to automate temperature changes. View the set temperature, alerts, and other information on the LED display.
    120V AC—120V AC chillers automatically replace their own filter, using a roller to swap in a fresh filter on a set schedule. Adjust the schedule to suit your application. A UV light system prevents algae and other bacteria growth, keeping the cooling liquid clean.
    240V AC—240V AC chillers have a bypass valve knob to control the chiller’s flow rate and pressure, which can affect the temperature of your liquid and how efficiently these coolers run.

    Liquid Chillers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Liquid Chillers.
    Circulate water or glycol solutions to prevent spot-welding systems, molds, lasers, and other temperature-sensitive equipment from overheating. These chillers provide constant, uniform temperatures. An internal tank ensures liquid flows in a continuous loop. Adjust the set temperature with the keypad.
    Bypass Valve—Chillers with a bypass valve recirculate liquid in the chiller if the outlet is obstructed.
    Cooling Capacity—Cooling capacity is based on a 65° F liquid temperature and a 95° F room temperature.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Liquid chillers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to chemical regulations.
