CBM300S is a 300W fan-less ac-dc baseplate-cooled PSU, delivering 360W peak, in a 107 x 85 x 20mm brick. Made by Cinon and available through Relec, the supplies have closed-box construction and can accept power from 90 – 264Vac or 120 – 370Vdc. Different version offer outputs at 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, 48 or 54V. These can be trimmed ...
DigiKey is showcasing a new series of videos on industrial automation. Season 5 of Factory Tomorrow is “Behind the Robot” and covers the underlying technology and infrastructure now powering automation. For example, the use of robotic cells and intelligent sensors and the shift from standalone robots to integrated automation systems. It also looks at cloud connectivity and predictive diagnostics. And ...
Toshiba has launched three industrial 650V SiC mosfets in TOLL packaging, with on-resistance as low 27mΩ. “The TOLL package is a 9pin, four-terminal package designed to facilitate the use of a Kelvin connection for its signal source terminal for the gate drive,” said the company. “The surface mounting capability of the TOLL package allows for smaller parasitic impedance, which leads ...
Rutronik is stocking precision thin-film surface-mount resistors from Vishay, for industrial, medical and automotive use – all are AEC-Q200 qualified, sulphur tested and RoHS compliant. TNPW e3 resistors are an “economical alternative in the thin-film range”, said the component distributor, “ideally suited for industrial and automotive use”. Size options are 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210, tolerance can be ...
ABB motor is claiming record energy efficiency for a multi-MW motor. “The motor, destined for a steel plant in India, has achieved an efficiency rating of 99.13% during testing, a substantial improvement over ABB’s previous world record of 99.05% set in 2017,” according to the company. “Getting closer to 100% efficiency becomes increasingly challenging in terms of the motor design ...
Aaeon has turned to Genio processors from fellow Taiwanese company Mediatek for its latest Smark modules. The first Aaeon products to get MediaTek ICs, uCOM-M700 has an octa-core Genio 700, while uCOM-M510 has the hexa-core Genio 510. “Both platforms leverage Arm’s big.LITTLE architecture for efficient processing, as well as an integrated NPU and VPU to go along with an on-chip ...
Vishay has introduced a series of multi-turn, surface-mount cermet trimmers for industrial use over -55 to +140°C. The 4 x 4mm potentiometers, called the TSM41, are sealed to IP67. They are available in both top and side adjustment styles, and in 16 values between 10Ω and 1MΩ (in 1-2-5 spacing). Adjustment is nominally over 12 turns. Power rating is 250mW ...
Stackpole has improved the working voltage ratings of its RNCE series of SMD (surface-mount) thin film resistors to: RNCE0402 75V 63mW RNCE0603 100V 100mW RNCE0805 150V 125mW RNCE1206 200V 250mW. (Power rating is at 70°C. For lower resistances, √(PxR) will reduce max voltage.) “Many thin film resistors fail to maintain stability under harsh conditions and over extended periods,” according to ...
Industry 4.0 will have intelligent manufacturing at its core, advocate Alec M Makdessian and Fabrizio Librizzi. IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, robotics and automation are just some of the technologies helping to drive Industry 4.0, with intelligent manufacturing at its core. Flexible factories use the latest technologies to automate and streamline production. This promises increased efficiency, enhanced ...
Wisconsin company C-Motive is betting on electrostatic drive rather than magnetism for its proposed industrial motors. “The rotors and stators are made from standard PCBs and have an optimised set of conductive metal traces that radiate out from the centre hub on the plates,” according to the company, which claims its technology is scalable to multi-megawatt outputs. The PCBs are ...
