Conax profile thermocouples are high-precision temperature sensors, standard or custom designed for the semiconductor, solar and LED industries. These thermocouples are engineered to address the critical process temperature measurement and control required for those industries. We manufacture a wide range of thermocouple designs used on virtually all the leading diffusion furnaces:
Choose from one of our standard designs for either vertical or horizontal type furnaces, or let us work with you to develop a customized design. Both profile and spike thermocouples are available in the following Pt–Rh noble metal calibrations: Type B, Type R and Type S – along with base metal calibrations Type K and Type N.
Spike thermocouples may be ordered as single or dual (two measuring junctions). Dual spike thermocouples are often used as a redundant measurement in case one circuit fails. Dual spike thermocouples may also be used to track sensor drift. This is accomplished by populating one of the dual circuits with a different calibration wire (typically R, S or B) than the other circuit. As the thermocouple circuits age, they will drift. Different calibrations will drift at different rates. Comparing the rate of drift differential will give an indication as to the amount of drift the particular dual spike thermocouples is seeing, and by extension, the rate of drift for the other spike thermocouples. Spike thermocouple recalibration or replacement decisions may be made based on objective criterion rather than arbitrary time-based maintenance schedules.
