Mini Wire Compacting Head

The Mini Compacting Head is based on AMADA WELD TECH’s THIN-LINE TL-180B-EZ  air actuated weld head, outfitted with a compacting module.

Built in the USA, the Mini Wire Compacting Head is ideally suited for creating neat, connection-ready packages from stranded wires. Utilizing special ceramic jaws to hold stranded wires in place, it simultaneously applies heat and compression to create a solid cuboid shape that facilitates connections to other components. The surface of the resultant resistance compacted wire is even and uniform: no individual strands!

Wire compacting is ideal for joining large cables as found in automotive applications like the “intelligent battery sensor” which allows for smart battery power management.
