Watlow Electric ULTRAMIC 600 - Manual (Page 2)

Watlow’s ULTRAMIC™ 600 heaters are
designed for thermal applications where
the high performance of an advanced
ceramic heater is required to ensure
optimal effectiveness of the equipment
and process.
ULTRAMIC 600 heaters are constructed
of aluminum nitride (AIN) and incorporate
a thermally matched proprietary heating
element that provides maximum
performance in challenging applications.
AIN is especially suitable for applications
requiring a
clean,
non-contaminating heat source.
Additionally, the
excellent geometric
stability ensures consistent part-to-part
thermal contact during heating cycles.
Watlow AIN heaters can operate up to 600°C with an ultra-
fast ramp rate of up to 150°C per second depending on the
application, heater design and process parameters. In
addition to excellent thermal characteristics, the ULTRAMIC
600 has
high electrical isolation and typically provides
superior chemical resistance as compared to traditional
metal heaters.
Robust AlN ceramic
• Creates a homogeneous assembly for atmospheric and
vacuum applications
• Provides durable heater construction and thermal transfer
necessary for high temperature and long heater life
• Permits the design of a high watt density, fast responding,
heater in a very small package
• Geometrically stable due to low coefficient of thermal
expansion (CTE)
• Process temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F) depending on
application parameters
Rapid prototyping
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides rapid ‘virtual’
prototyping of heater performance prior to the
manufacturing process
• Custom prototypes can be delivered in weeks rather than
months with innovative design and manufacturing practices
Superior electrical performance
• Low leakage current; <10 µA at 100°C
• Breakdown voltage; >2000VÎ(dc)
High thermal conductivity
• Makes for a fast temperature ramp rate of up to 150°C
(270°F) per second (depending on application parameters)
• Allows for quick cool-down
• Provides extremely uniform temperatures over the
heater surface
