Factory Automation (page 2)
- 20W DC-DC converter produces dual output for battery operated metrology equipment
As factories move towards Industry 4.0, they become more complex to manage. Manufacturers are looking to third parties to handle installation, training, calibration and equipment servicing. These…
- Power supply board coating used to mitigate contamination from printer ink chemicals
Digital printing continues to thrive in the commercial printing industry. Faster print speeds, speciality fluorescent inks and the ability to automate a very large number of small…
- Rack mount industrial power supplies used in continuous inkjet printers
Continuous ink system printers are used by many print shops to provide their high volume customers with a range of products and services from fliers to catalogues.…
- Lower power system developed for optical 3D measuring machines
Since the introduction of optical 3D measuring machines that can scan large items, such as vehicles, smaller 3D scanners are now entering the market. These can measure…
- Bespoke power solution produced for optical 3D measuring machines
Mechanical measuring machines are suitable where a pre-determined set of points is defined. New optical 3D scanners are now available that can rapidly measure millions of dimensions…
- 41mm high 2500W power supply used in ultra-short pulse laser systems
A wide range of materials are now cut and machined using industrial lasers, including metal, wood, plastics, fabrics and ceramics. Where no material change is required, ultra-short…
- Highly efficient DIN rail power supplies offer space savings for packaging machinery
To meet today’s 24-hour order-to-delivery consumer demand, distribution centres, warehousing and logistic companies are relying heavily on automation. This minimises labour costs and reduces the period of…
- Conduction/convection cooled power supplies selected for laser cutting machinery
The use of lasers to cut a variety of materials is now well established in the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine industry. Laser diode lifetimes are now…
- How highly accurate programmable power supplies are used to control heater temperatures
Heaters are often used in the manufacturing of semiconductors to bond dies to wafers. For this process, the temperature has to be controlled accurately to ensure repeatability…
- Dual output, rack mount power supplies save space for a wafer stepper manufacturer
The word “stepper” is a shortened version of term “step-and-repeat camera”. Used in semiconductor wafer fabrication for ICs, the stepper projects an image on to a silicon…
