Light Duty Heating Tool
Product Facts
■Light duty, portable hot air
heater
The HL2010E tool is
switched on and off at the
three-stage switch and the
temperature can be contin-
uously adjusted over a
range of 50°C-630°C by the
pushbuttons. The tempera-
ture can be increased or
reduced by 10°C steps. An
LCD display shows the
actual temperature.
The HL1910E tool is
switched on and off at the
two-stage switch and the
temperature can be contin-
uously adjusted over a
range of 50°C-600°C at the
thumbwheel (the numbers
on it serve as guide only,
1 means 50°C and max.
temperature of 600°C is
attained at 9).
A bench stand allowing use
of both the HL2010E and
the HL1910E as a bench
tool is available as an
option. Only two reflectors
are required to cover most
applications of heat-shrink-
able tubing and SolderSleeve
terminations.
There is an adaptor avail-
able, which allows the use
of PR type reflectors.
The HL2010E and HL1910E
hot air heat guns are
designed to work with a
standard line voltage
(120V) on a wide variety of
Raychem heat-shrinkable
products. These tools are
suitable for occasional use
and are not recommended
for applications requiring
high duty cycles. Both tools
supply forced hot air with
an adjustable heat setting
to meet the requirements of
many different installation
situations. A three position
switch controls the air flow
(150/300/500 l/min)

IR-1891
RAYCHEM Tubing Products
2
Application Equipment
Heating Work Station for
Short Length Tubing
Product Facts
■Automatic cycle start once
heater is manually
positioned over product,
which gives improved
process control
(recommended for adhesive-
lined heat-shrinkable tubing
e.g. sealing applications)
■Automatic heating head
retraction at end of cycle
prevents damage to
components
■Multiple product fixture
assemblies give increased
process rates
■Cooling fan above each
fixture assembly maintains
holding fixture at an
acceptable temperature
before initiating the heating
cycle. The operator then
continues with loading/
unloading the other work
station whilst the heating
cycle is taking place.
The IR-1891-220V-Shuttle-
Retn is provided with
closed loop temperature
control and in addition the
heat head is ‘locked’ into
position by use of an elec-
tromagnet during the heat-
ing cycle.
Once the other workstation
has been loaded and the
first installation is complete,
the heat head is moved into
position over the product
and the next heating cycle
initiated. Heating times vary
typically from 3 to 30
seconds depending on the
size and type of tubing
product. Process rates up
to 1200 pieces/hour can be
achieved depending on the
heating time and the time
taken by the operator to
load and unload the work-
pieces. The installation
temperature/power can be
varied according to product
type/size and required
cycle times.
The heating elements,
which are continuously
energized, are of the infra-
red medium wave length
type and consist of a coiled
resistance wire contained
in quartz glass tubes. The
closed loop temperature
control uses similar elements
but having integral thermo-
couple sensors.
Applications
The IR-1891 is suitable for
the installation of a range of
Raychem heat-shrinkable
tubing products onto a
variety of small components,
e.g. ring terminals, Faston
terminals and small con-
nectors etc. The machine
is provided with two work
stations and a moveable
heating head.
Each workstation is pro-
vided with supports for
tooling fixtures (which must
be specified and ordered
separately). These support
the workpieces and locate
the tubing products. The
operator loads the work-
pieces into the fixtures at
one of the workstations,
ensures that the tubing
product is correctly posi-
tioned and then slides the
heat head into position

guides for aligning the
assembly as well as the
tubing or device being
processed. The operator
only has to center the
assembly, then the tubing,
and load it into the spring
loaded jaws on either side
of the heating chamber. The
jaws grip and carry the
assembly into the heating
chamber and back to the
home position when the
time has expired. A protec-
tion circuit prevents the
cycle from being initiated if
the oven is not at the
desired set point, prevent-
ing assemblies from being
processed incorrectly. The
small footprint allows the
processor to be placed in
close proximity to a welder,
allowing a single operator
to accomplish two tasks.
Versatility
The processor is designed
to process a broad range of
Raychem heat-shrinkable
tubing products up to
25 mm [1.0 in] in diameter
and 127 mm [5.0 in] in
length. The infrared energy

size information (individual
selection)
■Sequenced installations
■Operator key lock/password
protection levels
■Automatic heater retraction
on mains failure
■Automatic calibration (single

from a remote machine (e.g.
an ultrasonic welding tool)
■Machine hours and
installation cycle counters
■Software upgradeable to
support special applications
■Air cooling can be provided
to an optional stub splice
fixture in the RBK-Proc-Mk2-
Proc-Aircool version
■Automatic communication
with upstream ultrasonic
welder can allow time
and temperature to be
automatically set without
operator intervention.
The operator is able to
efficiently load both
machines and so minimize
‘dead time’. Installing
Raychem splice sealing
products immediately after
welding gives reduced
installation time and earliest
possible mechanical pro-
tection for the welded joint.
The operator positions the
splice sealing product cen-
trally over the splice joint
and then locates the
assembly into the gripper
mechanism.
The wire assembly is
automatically ejected, with
the splice sealing product
installed and the joint area
sealed, insulated and strain
relieved. In-line or stub-type
splices can be installed.
Applications
The RBK-ILS-Processor
MkII is a semi-automatic
unit designed specifically
to install splice sealing
products onto ultrasonically
welded or crimped splice
joints used in automotive
harnesses.
The tool can operate in
several modes:
■Stand-alone — operator
sets time and temperature.
■Sequenced — preset
times and temperatures
can be sequenced auto-
matically (and can also
be randomly selected
from sequence stored.)

adjustable heat shields to
maximize the oven heating
efficiency for various appli-
cations.
Controlled Heating Zone
The Model 105 Tunnel Oven
has two stamped foil heat-
ing elements that are manu-
factured to a strict wattage
specification. Consistent
temperatures (ambient to
700ºC) are controlled by a
thermocouple embedded
into the upper heating ele-
ment connected to a
closed-loop temperature
controller. An alarm light
illuminates whenever the
actual heating element tem-
perature varies from the set
point temperature.
Conveyor Speed Control
The conveyor speed is pre-
cisely set by a 3-digit
potentiometer. The SCR
drive controller and DC
drive motor ensure constant
conveyor speed at any
potentiometer setting from
100 to 999 [0.2 to 5.0 feet

only has to center the sub-
strate, then align the tubing
and slide the assembly into
the belts. The belts grip
and carry the assemblies
through the heating and
cooling zones, depositing
them into the unloading bin.
Versatility
The processor is designed
to process a broad range of
Raychem heat-shrinkable
products up to 25 mm [1 in]
in diameter and 127 mm [4 in]
in length. The infrared
energy source is well-suited
to efficient processing of
either single wall or adhe-
sive-lined tubing. Temperature
and speed can be con-
trolled to accommodate a
wide variety of products
and substrates.
Safety Features:
• Emergency Stop
• Automatic cool-down cir-
cuit to extend the life of
the components
Applications
The Model 20 conveyor
type processor is a reliable
and versatile process
heater, which provides a
controlled process for a
wide variety of heat-shrink-
able products.
Double-sided timing belts
on either side of the upper
and lower heating cham-
bers draw the assemblies
through a thermally con-
trolled infrared heat zone,
then through a fan-cooled
zone before depositing
them into the unloading bin.
Controlled Heating Zone
The Model 20 processor
has two stamped foil heat-
ing elements that are manu-
factured to a strict wattage
specification. Consistent
temperatures (ambient to
700ºC) are controlled by a
thermocouple embedded
• Over-temperature switch
that shuts off all power in
the event of an overheat
condition
• Lockout on temperature
and speed controllers to
prevent unauthorized
changes
New Features
• Self-locking support post
in the upper heating
chamber for servicing,
maintenance and emer-
gency cool down
• Reversing motor relay
which runs the timing
belts in reverse until the
Set Point temperature has
been reached, preventing
the operator from loading
assemblies into the
machine
• Hinged lower side panels
for access to compo-
nents, making routine
service and maintenance
much easier

Application Equipment
Versatile Bed Heater for
Large Assemblies and
Substrates
Product Facts
The Versatile Bed Heater
(VBH-1) is the latest
generation of reliable and
versatile process heaters.
■Closed-loop speed and
temperature control
■Controlled process
■Adaptable for a large variety
long length and heat
sensitive applications
■Heater operation and over-
temperature alarm lights
■Heater and track are sold
seperately. See available
track lengths on page 2-24.
Speed Control
The belt speed is selected
using a 3-digit thumbwheel
(on the front panel) via a
closed-loop motor controller
and DC gear motor.
Controlled Heating Zone
The VBH-1 processor has
two stamped foil heating
elements that are manufac-
tured to a strict size and
wattage specification.
Consistent temperatures
(ambient to 650ºC) are con-
trolled by a thermocouple
embedded into the upper
heating element connected
to a closed loop tempera-
ture controller. An alarm
light illuminates whenever
the actual heating element
temperature varies from the
set point temperature.
Minimal Skill Requirements
The open loading area of
the holding fixtures on the
VBH-1 requires that the
operator simply place the
assembly on the holding
fixtures within the effective
width of the heat zone. The
assemblies can be removed
once the heater transporter
has passed over the assem-
blies and has come to a
complete stop in either the
right or left parking stations.
Versatility
The traveling heater is
designed to process a
broad range of heat-shrink-
able products up to 127
mm [5 in] in diameter and
infinite length.
The infrared energy source
is well-suited for efficient
processing of either single-
wall or adhesive-lined tubing.
Heat output and drive speed
can be controlled to accom-
modate a wide variety of
products and substrates.
Applications
The VBH-1 is an integrated
modular unit consisting of
an upper and lower heater
chamber with a transporter
base and motorized wheels
that are directed through an
aluminum track. The heater
transporter automatically
stops when it reaches the
parking station at either end
of the process area.
It has been designed to
accommodate a large vari-
ety of difficult to process
applications. With an
adjustable upper heating
chamber the heater separa-
tion can be adjusted from
37 mm [1.5 in] to a 150 mm
[6 in] gap enabling the unit
to process heat-shrinkable
tubing products up to 127
mm [5 in} in diameter. The
upper and lower chambers
are provided with adjustable
heat shields to maximize
the oven heating efficiency.
