The Solbraze range of Resistance Handtools (Thermotools) use the principle of electrode resistance heating. Electric current at low safe voltage is passed through the area to be heated when contacted by the electrodes.

Thermotools are fitted with carbon, graphite or copper coated carbon electrodes and the low voltage supply required is produced from the mains by means of transformer units called Thermopaks.

The advantages of Thermotools are that they give fast localised heating and are suitable for soft solder and silver brazing applications. Heat is rapidly available in remote and difficult access areas without the risk of damage by fire to the surrounding area. Operating costs are low because power is only used when making a joint. Thermotools are widely used in the production and repair of electrical motors and transformers, wiring harnesses, battery leads, busbar connections and an infinite number of other manufacturing operations.

Solbraze has a fully equipped laboratory containing its full product range for sample testing and evaluation. Please visit us, or send samples of your products for a free of charge assessment to determine the optimum manufacturing process and equipment requirements.
