KYOTO, Japan--OMRON Corporation (TOKYO:6645)(ADR:OMRNY) announces the release on December 1 of the following digital temperature controllers:

These two new temperature controllers are based on our best-selling temperature controller, of which over 3 million units have been sold worldwide. They feature the same high level of usability and the same wiring and basic operation methods of the popular previous model, yet are more compact lengthwise, have greatly enhanced capabilities, and feature extra-high-visibility white LCD displays with larger characters.

Though PLCs and touch panels are commonly used nowadays to manage temperature control, since temperature control settings need to be adjusted often, there is a strong and growing demand for stand-alone temperature controllers to facilitate easy, frequent adjustments. Such demand is also becoming increasingly apparent in China and other emerging markets. There is also significant demand for high-visibility displays to more easily confirm displayed values and settings in a variety of viewing conditions.
