EMF Compensation System has remote monitoring control.
Press Release Summary:
Suited for Electron Microscopy (EM) Applications, Magnetic Active Compensation System (MACS(TM)) reduces interference of magnetic fields in room through flux compensation process generated by driven coils mounted along or near room vertices. As remote monitoring control reports on Electronic Magnetic Field Cancellation (EMFC) system status and trip history, it can disable or reset system from external location if necessary. It also helps determine root cause of system failure.
Original Press Release:
Remote Monitoring Control a Key Feature of ETS-Lindgren's Magnetic Active Compensation System (MACS(TM)) for Electron Microscopy (EM) Applications
ETS-Lindgren(TM), a global leader in designing and manufacturing shielding solutions for medical and industrial applications, recently announced the launch of proprietary remote monitoring control technology with its Magnetic Active Compensation System (MACS(TM)) for Electron Microscopy (EM) Applications. As MACS' remote monitoring control reports on Electronic Magnetic Field Cancellation (EMFC) system status and trip history, it can disable or reset a system from an external location if necessary, such as a process control or supervisory center. In addition, remote monitoring control helps users determine the root cause of why a system went down as well as at what point their product would be defective in the event of a malfunction.
With MACS, EMs can be placed in locations where varying high AC/DC magnetic fields are present sites previously off-limits due to interference issues caused by elevators, electric trains, air conditioning units, and transformers. MACS also provides cost-effective field attenuation exceeding a factor of 30, permitting successful operation of EMs at virtually any site, especially units with highly susceptible FEG emitters. Since the system dynamically senses the magnetic field environment. MACS also compensates for any new sources of interferences that are introduced subsequent to installation.
Able to be installed in both new and existing installations, MACS offers highly sensitive proprietary pickup sensors, mounted on the EM column, that can detect alternating current magnetic fields radiating from nearby AC power wiring, ground loops, transformers, and related sources. While the pickup sensors are small in size, they prove highly responsive to interfering magnetic fields.
MACS, a maintenance-free system under normal operation conditions that can be installed and calibrated in as little as three days, reduces the interference of magnetic fields in a room through a flux compensation process that is generated by driven coils that are mounted along or near the room vertices. Coil sets for each axis are placed on opposing walls and consist of single 0.5" (1.3 cm) o.d. cables installed in either plastic raceway surfaced mounted to existing walls or within a freestanding conduit structure encircling the workstation.
