Three chang instrument launch directly platinum-rhodium thermocouple replacement solutions to prolong the life of traditional distribution system

Three full-service capital equipment company chang instrument Solutions ( CTS) Today in scottsdale, Arizona's overall market metrix Association ( 弗) Collaboration on BBS launched a direct replacement of automatic valve manifold boxes ( VMB） Platinum rhodium thermocouple, aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to replace aging semiconductor factories in a growing number of scrap ultra high purity gas distribution system.

has increased the demand for cars and commercial industry equipment, the requirements of fabs running time is taking longer than originally planned. Three chang instrument President Steve Lemons said, under pressure from rising prices to maintain profitability, at the same time, technological equipment aging for these fabs is a real challenge.

he added: & other; On semiconductor industry design, development and manufacture of new OEM equipment more than 35 years of experience, we have qualification through the complete product lifecycle solutions to support the aging of the fab. ” “ Considering the equipment efficiency and maintenance cost, we develop the product extension strategy of innovation, in order to prolong the economic life of the chip production line. ”

“ We in FOA meeting today launched a new direct replacement automatic VMB platinum-rhodium thermocouple illustrates how fast our factory audit for customers save a lot of cost, & throughout; Three chang instrument engineering vice President Tim Provencher said.

VMB to scrap, because these systems of platinum-rhodium thermocouple has been less reliable, leading to an unplanned downtime and increase maintenance costs. Despite VMB and gas system hardware is very reliable, but so far, the only solution is to replace the entire VMB, because there is no old platinum-rhodium thermocouple parts. The next generation of three chang instrument AVMB4S and AVMB8S platinum-rhodium thermocouple is developed specifically for solve this problem, so as to extend the service life of these traditional gas in the factory system.

for the initial deployment, three chang instrument and working more closely with a leading semiconductor factory in the Pacific northwest. Gas system engineer Ed Coghlan said: & other; Although we can't find the platinum rhodium thermocouple spare parts, but we think the disabled would continue to use for decades, the hardware doesn't make any sense. Three cheong instrument engineering team by using & other; The plug & throughout; To cope with the challenges from the process close to restart, less than three hours can successfully replace the old automatic facilities VMB platinum-rhodium thermocouple.

but can greatly save the replacement cost of the whole system as well as installation and identification required downtime, three cheong instrument automatic VMB platinum-rhodium thermocouple also lowered the scrap equipment of artificial, material waste and environmental costs.

3 chang instrument growing automatic VMB platinum-rhodium thermocouple series aimed at the gas safety, automatically to any processing tools. AVMB4S and AVMB8S using the latest technology security, clean transportation ultra-pure gases, support four or eight root gas pipeline ( Arm) , has brought large color touchscreen programmable logic platinum-rhodium thermocouple ( PLC） , and have regular password input function. Prevent unauthorized users to access the system.

the platinum-rhodium thermocouple has life safety relay logic, which can realize the real hardware interlock, and backup by PLC with SCADA communication facilities. Life safety alarm including source of CDA, pressure, fire, toxic, waste gas and EMO alerts. Automatic exhaust and purging procedure can start before maintenance program or removed from the panel when the harmful gas. Communication options including TCP/IP Ethernet and Modbus RTU protocol.
