Estimating the term…
A wax tree assembly heating system for heating wax on the surface of a wax component is provided. The system includes an elongated bar of heat conducting material, having a heating surface, and a heating element for heating the heating surface. The heating surface is configured to contact a wax component, such as a wax runner or a gate of a wax pattern, and has a space for retaining molten wax when the heating surface contacts a surface of the wax component. In another embodiment, the wax tree assembly heating system has a plurality of raised heating surfaces that are configured for producing molten wax on a plurality of areas on one or more surfaces of at least one wax component. Additionally, an electrical circuit is provided which includes a heating element and a temperature controller to control the temperature at which wax is melted.
A wax tree assembly heating system for heating a wax surface comprising:
A wax tree assembly heating system for producing molten wax on a plurality of areas on one or more surfaces of at least one wax component comprising:
A method of heating wax on a surface of a wax component using a wax tree assembly heating system having a heating surface in preparation for fusing the wax component to another wax component in assembling a wax tree, wherein the method comprises:
