“When a damaged component is bonded to an undamaged component, traditional methods of separating the two often cause unintentional damage to the good part,” says Lee Daugherty, heavy-duty sales manager for Chief. “The Chief Vulcan Adhesive Debonding Unit utilizes the latest technology to help shops avoid the time and cost of repairing inadvertent damage caused by debonding. Even the color of the material is used in the calibration to make sure components are not being over- or under-heated in the debonding process.”
The Vulcan ADU uses very short waves of infrared radiation to quickly produce up to 600 degrees of heat concentrated at the surface of the material being treated. Even though the unit produces very high output temperature, the lamp’s handles and sides remain cool to the touch for safe operation and prolonged lamp life.
The Vulcan ADU has three modes of operation.
- Manual: Pulling the trigger will produce whatever level of power the technician set until the trigger is released.
- Automatic: The technician sets both a set point temperature and the power level, and the unit will control to that level while the trigger is pressed.
- Programmable: The technician can set up to five steps including a specific temperature and how long the Vulcan should stay at that temperature.
