We are the economical source for thermodes used in all bonding applications. If you don’t see what you’re looking for on our website, call us today. We can build anything you need at very affordable prices.

Hot bar bonding is a general category which applies to conductive adhesive bonding, hot bar reflow soldering, heat staking, and heat seal bonding. Hot bar bonding is done using a 'thermode' which is rapidly heated and cooled for making each connection. The electrical resistance of the thermode produces the heat necessary to melt the solder or adhesive and create the connection. As the electricity flows through the thermode, the heat generated is conducted directly to the workpiece.

Conductive adhesive bonding is a technique for attaching PCBs to displays with conductive adhesive and flex foils. Hot Bar Reflow Soldering is a selective soldering process where two solder or adhesive coated parts are heated to a high enough temperature to cause the solder to flow and re-solidify, forming a permanent bond between the parts. Heat Staking is an assembly process where a piece protruding from one part is fit into a hole in a second part. The piece is then deformed through the application of heat and force (the thermode), forming a head which locks the two pieces together. All of these processes fall within the larger category of hot bar bonding.

Advanced Integrated Technologies Inc ( AIT ) has over two decades of experience manufacturing thermodes for hot bar bonding applications at very affordable prices. We manufacture our own versions of the 17TD three dimensional thermode, 17F Multiple Lead Fold-up Thermode, 17BW Multiple Lead Wide Blade Thermode, 17B Multiple Lead Blade Thermode, as well as all other thermodes available on the market today. Over fifty percent of our business is custom thermode work. We are usually able to build custom thermodes at prices even far below the standard thermode prices of machine manufacturers. Many of the designs in use today were originally built and refined by Advanced Integrated Technologies (AIT). Our extensive experience in this field has made us the industry leader in consumable thermode manufacturing. If you are tired of paying high prices for bonding thermodes, call us today and request a quote. No matter what application you have, we can provide the tools you need at a price you can afford.

 About Micro Resistance Spot Welding

Most spot welding fits into one of three categories. Large scale such as that used in the automotive industry involves welding mostly steel and stainless steel, in the thickness range of .016” to .062” thick. Moving down to small scale spot welding, we find the above mentioned materials plus various alloys like molybdenum, tungsten, inconnel, and nichrome in the range of .005” to .020” thickness. The micro scale of spot welding is the smallest, utilized in high tech industries like electronics, medical, bio implant, and telecommunications devices, with a material range of .0005” to .005” thickness.

 Several types of welders are capable of micro welding, but the transistor type such as the Avio MCW-700 and MCW-750 are the best for super fine wires and sensitive micro components. The MCW transistor series welders accomplish consistent and precise welding by a high speed linear control, with three control modes: constant current, constant voltage, or constant power. Capacitor discharge and inverter type welders can also be used for somewhat less sensitive micro welding applications.

 Micro resistance welding applications require very small and precisely built electrodes. Advanced Integrated Technologies ( AIT ) is the industry leading manufacturer of micro electrodes for all makes of welders including Palomar/Hughes, Unitek, Avio, MacGregor, and Sunstone Engineering. Our high tech manufacturing processes help us to build very high quality low cost electrodes. We offer both parallel gap and single point welding electrodes, in all RWMA materials. Our standard product line of welding electrodes covers the vast majority of applications. AIT also builds a wide range of custom electrode designs for many of our customers. If you need micro resistance welding electrodes, call us today and see how Advanced Integrated Technologies ( AIT ) can help you.
