Hotwire Fabrication Area

 

The hotwire fabrication area provides us with a space to construct hotwires from scratch or to quickly repair a broken wire. This area enables us to fix hotwires with ease, leaving less downtime in data acquisition. The hotwire fabrication area, equipped with a six degree of freedom traverse for mounting the wires, allows us to efficiently produce the four main types of probes, along with specialty probes. If you are interested in having a member of the TSFL staff fabricate or repair a broken hotwire, see the list of prices below.
