Laboratory testing is becoming increasingly competitive with more companies offering their services. That brings intense cost pressures and a need for a high level of automation. Customisation of the test process is one way of reducing capital requirements to meet the exact needs of the client.

Faced with designing a flexible laboratory test equipment platform, a manufacturer approached TDK-Lambda, requesting a number of suitable products, key functions and output voltages.

The CUS250M-24 and the lower power CUS30M-24 were suggested to provide small amounts of 24V. The 1000W peak power capable 36V CUS350MP-1000-36 was used to drive motors and pumps. 

Due to their high efficiency, low-cost, non-isolated DC-DC i6A and i7C converters were used to provide onboard power. They have flexible, wide-range inputs and outputs, which allows easy adjustment and customisation to suit a number of applications using just one or two part numbers.
