How it works

Four steps from spool to sealed junction

  1. 01

    Strip & load

    Operator strips the conductors, inserts into the auto-feed collet. The HMI shows wire gauge selection.

  2. 02

    Argon purge

    Auto argon pre-purge at 0.5–0.8 MPa. Argon atmosphere prevents oxidation of the molten bead.

  3. 03

    Capacitive discharge

    Stored energy is released in <8 ms. The molten bead forms a fully alloyed, low-EMF-drift junction.

  4. 04

    Inspect & unload

    Operator visually inspects the bead; finished probe drops into the output bin for the next cell.

Why Layjun Welder

Engineering details that matter on the floor

⏱

<8 ms discharge

Sub-cycle weld time prevents HAZ migration in 0.2 mm Chromel-Alumel.

🌬

Argon shielding

Inert-gas envelope at 0.5–0.8 MPa. No oxidation, no re-work.

🔁

Auto re-trim

Wire-end self-trim every cycle. Constant bead diameter, no operator intervention.

🛡

Customer voices

What production managers say

"We replaced two manual TIG stations with three TC-100H units. Same headcount, three times the output. Bead quality never varies between operators."
— Maintenance & Reliability Engineer · HVAC OEM · Türkiye
"The argon pre-purge and auto-feed mean a junior operator can run the TC-100V after a 30-minute walk-through. Calibration drift on K-type junctions is well below 1 °C."
— Process Engineer · Industrial Sensor maker · Germany
"For our 26 AWG stranded battery-tab leads, the TC-100I is the only machine on the market that hits our cycle time without de-insulating the strands."
— Operations Lead · EV battery pack assembler · USA
FAQ

Frequently asked, before the first PO

What thermocouple types and wires can these machines weld?

K, J, T, E, N, R, S, B and their extension grades. Wire coverage across the range runs from 0.08 mm (TC-20L laboratory, down to 40 AWG) through 2.5 mm on the benchtop chassis, 5.0 mm single-strand / 26–10 AWG stranded on the TC-100B, up to #10 (3.4 mm) studs on the TC-600S. Noble-metal R / S / B and W-Re combinations require the TC-300T argon-purged TIG unit.

Do I need a separate argon supply?

Yes — an argon cylinder with regulator is required for every variant. The TC-100 ships with a regulator kit; cylinders are available locally. Flow set-point: 0.5–0.8 MPa working pressure, 18,000–36,000 pcs / 40 L cylinder.

What production rate should I expect?

900–1,500 pcs/h (TC-100H), 600–1,200 pcs/h (TC-100V), 900–1,500 pcs/h (TC-100B), 1,000–1,600 pcs/h (TC-100I). For higher throughput, request the TC-300A automatic line (1,800–2,400 pcs/h, 5 stations).

Which model should I choose — benchtop, portable, lab, TIG or heavy stud?

Five questions decide it: Where will you weld? In a cell → TC-100H / V / I; on site with no mains → TC-50P. How thin is the wire? Below 0.20 mm → TC-20L (0.08 mm floor). Which thermocouple type? Noble metal R / S / B or W-Re → TC-300T TIG. How thick? Above 2.5 mm single-strand or a stud → TC-100B (5.0 mm) or TC-600S (525 J, #10 stud). What volume? Above 1,600 pcs/h → TC-300A automatic line.

What are your shipping terms and lead times?

EXW, FOB Shenzhen, CIF, CFR, DAP and DDP are all quoted. Benchtop and portable units ship 7–15 working days after deposit; laboratory and TIG units 15–20 days; the TC-300A automatic line 45–60 days. Air freight via DHL / FedEx (3–7 days) or sea freight from Yantian / Shekou. Full details on the logistics & after-sales page.

What certifications are bundled with the machine?

ISO 9001 quality system (factory), CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS compliance statement, FCC Class A report. UL / CSA listing is available on the TC-300A. ISO 17025 test certificates for the as-built unit are included. Full breakdown on the certifications page.

How is after-sales support structured?

12-month limited warranty. Remote diagnosis via TeamViewer or local screen-share. Spare-parts kits stocked in Rotterdam (EU) and Houston (US) for 7-year minimum availability. Local-language support in EN / ES / DE / FR / JA / ZH.

Can you ship and install in my country?

Yes. We DAP / DDP ship worldwide via Rotterdam, Houston, Shenzhen or our regional partner warehouses across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Latin America. See our North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Middle East and Latin America landing pages for delivery options.
