semicon-water-tube-heater 

Applications : bulk production

THERMOCOAX is providing thermal solutions to Dry / Nanoimprint /  Immersion / EUV tools , with first systems delivered back in 2005.

The semiconductor equipment manufacturers work with THERMOCOAX for

  • Manufacturing process fully controlled: traceability, subcontractor assessment, internal and external audits, regulatory compliance
  • Integration into effective project management for key projects
  • Provide strong technical innovation with an internal R&D department
  • Ability to deliver constant production over decades with reassuring ambition and a range of diverse clients (Semiconductor, aeronautic, Nuclear, Medical...)
  • Ability to implement in-house bulk production and adapt to customer quality standards

 THERMOCOAX Standard thermocouples

water-tube-heater

Applications : whenever reliable signals are required

  • High flexibility for small space applications
  • Exclusive manufacturing process to garantee the quality and resistance to corrosion
  • Proven to have a longer lifetime than any thermocouples in a corrosive environment
  • Made with THERMOCOAX original mineral cable teechnology
  • Production sites in France, USA and Germany

Special Type N thermocouples

Type N thermocouple has an outstanding thermoelectric stability which can be compared with platinum based thermocouples as well as resistance to high temperature oxidation phenomena

This thermocouple is ideally suited for accurate measurements in air up to 1200°C and up to 1300°C in vacuum or controlled atmosphere

Type N  thermocouples drift 10 to 20 times less than type K thermocouples between 1000 and 1200°C
