POWERGLIDE®

Watlow’s POWERGLIDE® enables certain two-zone aluminum nitride ceramic pedestals to perform more efficiently. It runs closed loop and monitors temperature from both zones to improve uniformity, helps prevent ceramic breakage, achieves higher temperatures and provides visibility to changing conditions. With POWERGLIDE, users will gain total control of power quality. POWERGLIDE features Watlow’s innovative ATS technology and incorporates power conversion, a technology platform that regulates power current and voltage amplitude rather than mearly swithing on and off. In addition, POWERGLIDE incorporates an algorithm that uses temperature co-efficient of resistance (TCR) to measure temperature and provide control, which is a technology platform that converts every heater zone into a sensor, as well as ceramic protection algorithms.

The EtherCAT interface is the ETG 5003.2060 Semiconductor Temperature Controller Device Profile.

The POWERGLIDE has UL Recognition to UL 61010 standard.
