And, let’s face it, **there are a lot of unique challenges** surrounding this demanding application, including unreliable thermocouples, lost time and increased scrap mostly due to issues relating to self-made temperature sensing assemblies.   **At TE Wire, we don’t just listen to our customers’ problems—we do something about it.** This tremendous wealth of information enables us to develop innovative thermocouple solutions for our customers most demanding aviation and aerospace autoclave curing applications.    In recent years, **many tooling departments at composites manufacturers** have been asking for a ***cost-effective solution to measure their invar tool temperatures.***    We are** proud to unveil prototypes of our new bayonet-style thermocouple sensor **at CAMX 2015. This new addition to the AccuClave system has been developed with a special limits thermocouple wire and can be configured to handle ambient temperatures from 200° C up to 870° C. The product is available in Type J and K calibrations with fixed and adjustable spring loaded fittings.    Would you like to learn more about AccuClave autoclave thermocouple assemblies?
