Ogden's two new controllers, ETR-3000 and ETR-9000, as an addition to its ETR™ family. Both controllers have dual outputs and are single display controllers designed to have a very high feature to dollar ratio.The ETR-3000 and ETR-9000 are CE, UL and CSA approved for global acceptance. The ETR-3000 controller is a NEMA-4x rated 1/32 DIN controller.  The ETR-9000, while not NEMA-4X rated, advertises an industry-leading compact design that is typical of most Ogden ETRs.  By introducing these new controllers, Ogden Manufacturing strives to provide one of the most extensive and versatile line of controllers in the low-cost driven market.The ETR-9000 & ETR-3000 belong to the “basic” family of ETR temperature controllers.  While their functionality is basic, they offer a few advanced features including: Bumpless Transfer -- allows the controller to apply a percentage of heater output when the sensor input fails. Digital Communications -- gives the user the option to change parameters or record process trends from a remote location. Regulated Power Supply Output – option available in 5, 12 and 20 Vdc models designed to drive various sensor transducers or transmitters.

GDEN has offered the 3/4" i.d. by 1-1/4" wide Mini-Tubular nozzle heater for many years. This is designed as the heating component for Husky Injection Molding Machine hot runner systems. Because of its 360 heating surface and high temperature capabilities, OGDEN customers have found many other uses for these items, from semiconductor and packaging equipment to medical instrumentation. The latest improvement in Mini-Tubular design is the Cam-Clamp. The axial clamp allows the heater to be changed or replaced without removing the tooling from the mold base. The hex head screw is accessed from the front. On similar Mini Tubular Heaters with the mounting flange, access is from the side, as is typical of most band heater mounting styles. The Cam Clamp can even be changed in an emergency while the mold is still in the press. With Cam Clamp mounting, many hours of maintenance time can be saved in Mini-Tubular applications. For more information about Mini-Tubular heaters along with standard product listings.
