Abstract
A brazing apparatus to join a first component and a second component includes a heating element configured to melt a ring located at a joint between the first component and the second component, and a probe configured to contact the ring. A position of the probe is biased toward the ring. The probe is installed at a probe support. The probe is movable along a probe central axis relative to the probe support. A sensor is operably connected to the probe and is configured to determine movement of the probe along the probe central axis. The movement of the probe is indicative of melting of the ring.
