Automotive qualified VCSELs from Laser Components

Automotive qualified VCSELs from Laser Components

Laser Components offers an extensive range of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser diodes (VCSELs), which have significant advantages over conventional edge emitting laser diodes. VCSELs are cheaper to produce since they can be probe tested on wafer and the yield is generally higher. They also offer more design choice of output aperture size and shape, which can produce a more desirable beam shape.

Air-cooled 45kW AC-DC power supply is 98% efficient

Air-cooled 45kW AC-DC power supply is 98% efficient

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda TPF45000-385 three-phase input, non-isolated 45kW AC-DC power supply. The TPF45000 provides a stable 385V DC output for large, distributed power systems using isolated DC-DC converters for semiconductor test and burn in, large scale printers and other industrial equipment. With an efficiency of 98%, less internal waste heat is generated, allowing cooling by internal, variable speed fans. Cooling this way avoids the need for expensive and complex water-cooling systems.

Draw-wire encoders measure position, speed and inclination

Draw-wire encoders measure position, speed and inclination

Mobile machines have to consistently function as smoothly, precisely and efficiently as possible. This requires smart sensors that can reliably detect the complex movements of the machines. The functions of Siko’s PURE.MOBILE family of draw-wire encoders can be optionally extended to detect several measured variables at the same time, thus reducing the installation effort and costs.

Simple and reliable verification of train braking systems

Simple and reliable verification of train braking systems

All wheeled vehicles rely on brakes to safely stop or slow down when the way ahead is blocked or compromised but none are more reliant on the brakes than vehicles that run on rails; trains and trams. With no option to change direction to avoid danger, vehicles on rails are totally reliant on an efficient braking system.
