Cable Heaters
Watlow’s cable heaters are small diameter, high-performance units. This versatile
cable heater can be formed to a variety of shapes for high-tech photovoltaic
applications. Flat spiral cable heater configurations are the heart of many turnkey
cast in and mill groove platen heater assemblies. Coil assemblies are used in
physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and lamination applications.
Star wound cable heaters can be used for a variety of nitrogen, air and liquid
applications.

600 advanced ceramic heaters combine the features of
excellent thermal response, high dielectric insulation, high purity and low mass.
ULTRAMIC 600 heaters are constructed of aluminum nitride (AIN) and incorporate a
thermally matched heating element that provides maximum performance in
challenging applications. Advanced ceramic heaters are an excellent solution for
back end assembly and test applications.

Tubular heaters
Tubular Heaters
Watlow’s round and flat tubular heating elements are high performance metal sheath
heaters. Tubular heaters are a proven reliable and robust technology. These heaters
are used in both radiant and convection modes to provide uniform temperature
profiles. Tubular heaters are available in many sheath materials including aluminum,
316L stainless steel, and Inconel
®
to meet the compatibility requirements of
semiconductor and photovoltaic applications. High temperature tubular heaters are
commonly used in heated vacuum chamber assemblies and conveyor ovens.
• Tubular heater sheath temperature up to 870°C (1600ºF) depending on sheath
materials
• Precision bending for maximum design efficiency and temperature uniformity
• Sheath materials available in aluminum, stainless steel and Inconel
