THERMOCOUPLE AND FINE WIRE 

WELDER

TL-WELD

Operating Instructions

The TL-WELD welder is designed for sensor manufacturers

to produce commercial grade thermocouple junctions, and by 

users of large numbers of exposed junction thermocouples 

such as test and development laboratories where multipoint 

temperature sensing of test pieces is required.

No special skills are required and most people will be capa-

ble of producing quality work with minimal practice. A sat-

isfactory thermocouple junction is produced without using 

argon, but where argon is available a momentary purge is 

automatically  triggered  immediately  prior  to  the  weld  to 

give optimum weld integrity.

Safety Note
1. Always protect the eyes with a suita-

ble 

filter  during  welding  –  never  view 

the 

weld discharge with the naked eye.

2. Avoid touching the rear of the welder during operation 

as  the  power  switch  heat  sink  may  run  hot.  This  is  a 

normal operating condition.

3. Do not allow the hand to directly contact the welding 

electrode during operation.
