- 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…
- Cost-effective, long operating life power supply chosen for use in catering equipment
Searching for a small, cost-effective power supply to provide power for a motorised deep fat fryer, designers of a new range of catering equipment chose a 300W,…
- Compact, low profile DIN rail power supplies used in an elevator control system
Modern elevator control systems use complicated algorithms to provide a smooth ride for passengers during acceleration and deceleration. Wait times can also be reduced by “parking” the…
- Programmable power supplies test automotive electronic assemblies
Automotive manufacturers investing in Industry 4.0 value the ability to easily scale production lines and test equipment, while being able to facilitate both high and low mix…
