High-Precision Temperature Measurement
Spike thermocouples are engineered for applications where exact temperature control is critical. Their precise sensing capabilities make them a top choice for semiconductor manufacturing, diffusion furnaces, and other high-temperature processes.
Versatile Material Choices
These thermocouples come in various types, including Fibro® metals (such as Type S and R) and noble metals (like Type R, S, and B). This allows you to select the best match for your process, whether you need resilience to high heat, chemical resistance, or long-term stability.
Customizable Construction
Spike thermocouples are highly adaptable. You can specify the ceramic sheath diameter, the number of sensing junctions (single, double, or triple), tip configurations (such as wedge, recessed, or exposed), and the type of electrical termination (bare wire, plug, or lugs). This flexibility ensures a perfect fit for your equipment and process requirements.
Redundancy and Drift Monitoring
Dual spike thermocouples can be equipped with two independent circuits for added reliability. This redundancy ensures continuous operation even if one circuit fails. Additionally, you can use different calibration wires in each circuit to monitor for sensor drift and schedule maintenance based on real performance data rather than fixed intervals.
Broad Application Compatibility
These thermocouples are designed for both vertical and horizontal furnace setups and can be tailored to fit a wide range of equipment brands and models. Their robust design makes them suitable for diverse industries, including semiconductors, photovoltaics, and LEDs.
Exceptional Durability
Constructed from high-grade materials, including proprietary Fibro® platinum alloys and advanced ceramics, spike thermocouples are built to endure extreme temperatures and harsh process environments. This results in longer service life and reduced maintenance needs.
Fast Response Times
Spike thermocouples' streamlined construction allows them to react quickly to temperature changes. This rapid response is crucial for processes that require tight thermal control and immediate feedback.
