Altanium Temperature Controllers-2

Husky's Altanium product line achieves optimal control through the application of Active Reasoning Technology (ART), a combination of software and hardware architecture that is unique in the industry. Intelligent temperature control Requiring no intervention by the user, ART is able to generate a para meter set to precisely fit each zone's unique thermal response characteristics. Once the optimal control algorithm has been calculated, ART utilizes a modulation method that delivers a rapid, uniform flow of power to the heaters, minimizing deviations in temperature. Using a technique known as oversampling,...
