Thermocouple Basics

Thermocouple Function

 

A thermocouple is two wires of dissimilar alloy that are joined into a ball at one end, and open at the other end.  Typically the open end is fitted with a plug and the ball end is welded to the thermode near the tip.  As thermode temperature increases, so does the voltage across the two wires.  This changing voltage feeds back a temperature reading, telling the power supply the temperature of the thermode face.  This is what allows the power supply to accurately control the thermode temperature.

About Us

Advanced Integrated Technologies is essentially a manufacturing service company with two major divisions. The resistance welding and reflow soldering tool division grew out of our early work building micro tools for Hughes Aircraft. About the time that Microsoft was turning computers into a household item, computer hardware manufacturers were looking for companies to build reflow tools used in the assembly of hard drives and other components.
