- Automotive Hardware in the Loop simulators utilise programmable power supplies
HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) simulators are used early on in the development process for a number of automotive products, including powertrain systems and electronic control modules. As time to…
- 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…
- Mass spectrometer bespoke Power+ Solution developed for automotive material testing
Mass spectrometry is a reliable way of predicting the identity and the quantity of compounds in samples. The automotive industry is now using this technology to analyse…
- 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…
- Why limited lifetime warranty power supplies chosen for cathodic protection systems
Cathodic protection techniques are used to reduce metal corrosion by making the structure the cathode and a more easily corrodible, sacrificial metal to act as the anode.…
- 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…
- Why convection cooled 200W power supplies are selected for a medical laser
Medical low power lasers use flexible fibre cables to deliver a precise beam of light for a number of applications including ophthalmology. This branch of medicine deals…
- Which high voltage DC-DC converter provides isolated 24V for large UPS
An Uninterruptible Power Supply provides emergency power for electrical equipment in the event of a utility mains failure. They are typically used to keep data centres, communication…
- How programmable power supplies are being used to test heating and cooling systems for electric cars
Electric and hybrid vehicles use high voltage batteries in the range of 300 to 400Vdc to power the motor. Unlike petrol and diesel cars, an electric heater…
- 2400W programmable power supply for automotive electric motor testing
The DC battery voltage in a vehicle can vary over a wide range, normally 9 to 16V, but under cold start conditions it can go as low…
