- 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…
- Winding machines utilise 41mm high 2500W power supplies
The need for very high volume motor and coil winding has led to the development of fully automated production lines capable of product cycle times in two…
- Custom power supply rack assembly developed for industrial lasers
Lasers are widely used for cutting, drilling and marking in many industrial applications, and have replaced some of the traditional metal cutting processes. The lasers are controlled…
- High voltage programmable power supplies used for semiconductor burn-in
Manufacturers subject initial production batches and random production sampling to extensive, and sometimes extended, burn-in to ensure product reliability. Semiconductor manufacturing is no different, and as the…
- 200W supplies power 3D vision systems for robots
Originally, 3D measurement systems for robots were expensive as two or three cameras were needed. Now a lower cost single camera can be used to define the…
- Testing circuit breakers with programmable power supplies
Circuit breakers provide an essential function in electrical equipment, protecting the human operators, reducing the risk of fire and ensuring maximum equipment up-time. They perform a variety…
- Climate Chambers Benefit From Compact Power Supplies
Climate chambers are traditionally used for testing products under extremes of temperature or humidity. New applications are now being found, where materials or finished products are climate-conditioned…
- Power Supplies for Digital Printing
Digital printing using inkjet technology is now being used for printing on other materials besides paper. Custom laminate flooring designs for example can be easily manufactured to…
- Integrated Process Plant Telecommunication Systems
Telecom equipment is often isolated from the manufacturing process plant control system. The revolution of Industry 4.0 is changing the way goods are built and processed, requiring…
