<div>This is pretty good advice. Our Jetfirst 150 goes through the TC’s as well, but at least my users are using the pyrometer for the high temp processes. We need to replace our TC’s now in order to recalibrate the pyrometer that has been removed for maintenance,
so I’m stuck with the vendor on those. I suspect the larger portion of the cost is for the calibration.</div>

<div dir="ltr">We had the same problem with out TCs on our Jetfirst 100 and 150. It's mainly due to the fact that we have users who run high temperature recipes using the TC (our users don't use the pyrometer due to different substrate coatings causing
it to vary.)
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problem with Omega is that the TC is a strange length and it's hard to have confidence in the calibration adjustments in the software. The Jupilec TCs are a somehow callibrated by the vendors - I think that is half the expense.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only hack I can suggest is from Axic - if you have a glass blower on campus and the break is at the tip of the TC (usually where it is since it fuses with the Si and snaps,) you can have them re-bonded in a hot torch.</div>
