Information & Instruction Manual for ® American Beauty Resistance Soldering Equipment Solutions for your difficult soldering needs. ® When it comes to soldering equipment, American Beauty has been a trusted name in industry for well over one hundred years.
Information & Instruction Manual for ® American Beauty Resistance Soldering Equipment ® Manufacturers of American Beauty Quality Soldering Tools Table of Contents Section Title Page Introduction Description The Science of Electricity Safety—General Safety—Heat Related Safety—Ventilation Related Safety— Electrical Current Resistance Soldering Equipment Uses...
If you have only recently become aware of Resistance Soldering Equipment and its various uses you may ® find it interesting to note that this is actually not a new concept. The American Beauty line of Resistance Soldering and Thermal Wirestripping equipment has been manufactured and available for over fifty years.
Information & Instruction Manual for ® American Beauty Resistance Soldering Equipment ® Manufacturers of American Beauty Quality Soldering Tools 2.1 The Science of Electricity Resistance heat can be developed because of the three fundamental forces that control all electrical circuits; voltage, amperage, and resistance.
The output that is produced by all of the American Beauty Resistance Soldering Power Units is a very safe low-voltage AC current this equipment operates on standard 110-120 or 220-240 AC line voltage. However, opening the Power Unit enclosure can expose an operator or individual to the possibility of various electrical hazards.
® American Beauty Resistance Soldering Equipment ® Manufacturers of American Beauty Quality Soldering Tools 4.0 Resistance Soldering Equipment Uses Because of the ability to very rapidly produce an intense level of controlled, localized heat, directly where it is needed for soldering, you will find that almost any soldering method or process that currently exists can be improved upon with the use of resistance soldering equipment.
Information & Instruction Manual for ® Manufacturers of American Beauty Quality Soldering Tools 5.2 Handpiece Recommendations The handpiece styles that are currently available include single electrode (used with a lead for current return) dual electrode stationary, dual electrode tweezers, dual electrode pliers, dual electrode forks and a variety of handpieces designed especially for thermal wire stripping.
This type of power unit is available in either 100 watt or 250 watt maximum available outputs. • 105A3 power units are capable of producing up to 100 watts of power and may be used to solder materials and components that do not exceed 1/8” diameter.
This manual should answer the majority of your questions and get you on the right track. ® All of the American Beauty resistance soldering power units have a specially developed transformer that converts your standard 110-120 VAC input line voltage into a completely safe (low voltage/high amperage) AC electrical current.
American Beauty Resistance Soldering Equipment ® Manufacturers of American Beauty Quality Soldering Tools In the beginning stages of your new process development it is often very beneficial for you to use dummy components or scrap pieces of similar size and material to the actual components that you will be soldering.
