The m600 developer's kit from Luxtron allows R&D technologists and OEM engineers to test the technical feasibility and ease of integration of the company's Fluoroptic thermometry. Among other applications, the m600 can be used to control electrostatic chucks in semiconductor wafer tools. The m600 has a measurement range of ­100° to 330°C and uses probes that offer electromagnetic interference immunity and stability, avoiding the problems associated with conventional sensors. The kit includes a four-channel m600 OEM module with analog output capability mounted in a shielded enclosure, TrueTemp PC-interface software, a general-purpose STM-type probe, an RS-232 cable, a universal power supply, manuals, and a quick-start guide. The nonmetallic, electrically nonconductive probe provided with the kit is a general-purpose immersion device with a measurement range of 0° to 250°C. The company offers probes tailored to meet customer needs. Custom probes are available for a wide range of temperatures, vacuum specifications, and process chambers. Information: www.luxtron.com.

A repair guide from Magnatex Pumps, which is available on CD-ROM, concentrates on the company's metallic and Texel fluoropolymer-lined magnetically driven, sealless pumps. The guide provides two full-color, high-quality video segments demonstrating the disassembly, repair, and reassembly of the MP-series sealless pump and the Texel MTA sealless pump. With their sealless design, the pumps perform better than mechanically sealed centrifugal pumps. The elimination of mechanical seals prevents potential emissions problems. The pumps' high-strength, rare-earth magnetic drives supply no-slip power, maximizing operating efficiency and prolonging pump life. Information: www.magnatexpumps.com.
