  1. 2 Week Delivery: Watlow Large and Extra Large Panels

    Watlow’s New WATCONNECT® Control Panels are Quickly Configured for Standard Two-Week Delivery

    Large and Extra Large Panels are part of the two-week delivery.

    Watlow® is now offering WATCONNECT® standard control panels that are quickly configured to your specific application requirements and delivered within two weeks. WATCONNECT panels integrate Watlow’s high-quality heater, sensor, temperature controller and power controller products for a complete thermal solution. Normally, competitive custom panels require significantly longer lead times. The broad range of standard features allow customers to quickly configure panels that usually would be considered custom for delivery within two weeks.

    Watlow’s customers will be impressed with the speed and ease of specifying, selecting, pricing, ordering and delivery. WATCONNECT panels are flexible and scalable; there are thousands of configurable, pre-engineered panel solutions available.

  2. Case Study - Laboratory Instrumentation for Atomic Level Deposition (ALD)

    Case Study - Laboratory Instrumentation for Atomic Level Deposition (ALD)

    Application and Industry

    Laboratory Instrumentation for a revolutionary Atomic Level Deposition, (ALD) process that is now being adopted for mainstream nanotechnology semiconductor industry.

    Challenges

    Two founders from Harvard approached Innovent about manufacturing prototype tools to demonstrate proof-of-concept of a revolutionary ALD process for the semiconductor industry. They were in search of a business partner who had the capability to take their proof-of-concept laboratory tool and turn it into a reproducible and reliable electromechanical manufactured product.

    Solutions

    Once a business plan was agreed on, Innovent engineers set to work driving a DFM project using only

  3. Mass Flow Controllers: N2 Calibration vs. Specific Gas Calibration

    The Importance of Specifying Gas Flow Range on a Mass Flow Controller

    The Full Scale (FS) Range and Gas on a Mass Flow Controller (MFC) directly correlates to the transmitted output (analog or digital) of the device. In an analog device, the maximum output value (such as 5 vdc or 20 mA) will be equivalent to the FS value. The accuracy of most MFCs is a function of this FS Range.

  4. Why Emissivity Compensation is Important When Using an Optical Pyrometer

    Emmissivity Compensation and the Importance of Pyrometers

    If you are measuring the temperature of a static surface, whether or not its temperature is changing, all is good. But what happens when you are changing the surface and its emissivity is also changing? Your pyrometer inaccuracy can increase substantially.

    The solution? Emissivity compensation.
