Model EIS6-100T/FC supports SC-style connectors, Model EIS6-100/FT supports ST-style connectors, and Model EIS6-100T/FCS supports SC-style connectors and single-mode fiber. Low-voltage power,...

Feeder System eliminates tray replenishment time.

Portable TF20 Tray Feeder incorporates electronically controlled drive systems to enable feeder to safely handle thick or thin JEDEC or IEC trays. Automatic tray exchange is controlled by host machine is less than 5 sec. Trays are fed from stack to pick position and returned once devices have been programmed. Tray replenishment is achieved during machine's TAKT time.

Wireless Transceiver avoids congestion with crowded bands.

FCC-certified WIT5811 wireless data module for OEM applications operates in license-free 5.8 GHz band. With asynchronous serial interface, it easily integrates into new and existing product designs to supply wireless communications at up to 1.23 Mbps. Incorporating frequency hopping spread spectrum technology, WIT5811 features 100 mW of transmit power and provides 900 ft range indoors, over 3,000...

A Guide to Quality Control of the SMT Process

The printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process begins with cutting-edge equipment capable of accurately picking and placing up to 40,000 components per hour. This innovative equipment keeps error rates extremely low, and those defects that do occur are quickly caught by sensitive laser and optical inspection equipment.

Cable Puller is designed for light to medium-duty pulls.

Designed for continuous pulls to 2,000 lbs, Mini Brutus(TM) uses Rigid(TM) or mini-CollinsÃ-® pipe threader as its power drive unit. Unit is capable of pulling up to 18 ft/min and includes multi-position, adjustable arm that extends over 9 ft, allowing cable pulls from any direction. Self-contained design includes collapsible, two-part, powder coated frame (44 x 13Ã-½ x 18 in.); 5Ã-½...

Incremental Encoder works at speeds to 10,000 rpm.

C120 Series with 2 in. housing is available with any incremental count from 1 to 8,192 ppr. It has electrical bandwidth up to 820 kHz and firmware generated marker pulse of 90 or 180, providing feedback at speeds up to 10,000 rpm while maintaining marker width and synchronization. Encoder combines hybrid OPTO-ASIC and small, unique code disk. Both tracks are read simultaneously by sensor array...

Locating Pin LED Holders suit high shock/vibration applications.

H-LP Series holders, suitable for single, bi-level, and tri-level T-1 (3 mm) LED display applications, are manufactured from black, 94-VO rated nylon material. They provide PCB retention and uniform elevation during processing and handling, making them suitable for industrial environments. LEDs are perfectly aligned on equally spaced centers. With bifurcated locating pin, widths from 0.170 in.,...

Cordless Phone System works with 1 to 36 handsets.

Industrial Cordless(TM) EP-436 phone system operates off single 4-line base unit with handsets that also function as 2-way radios. Auto-attendant can be programmed to direct callers to specific handsets. System includes caller ID with call waiting and text-messaging between handsets or to groups of handsets. Hot-swapping feature permits changing battery while call is on hold. Digital spread...

Cartridge Feed Systems handle highly viscous materials.

DispensitÃ-® Titan 200 ACO(TM) and Titan 128 transfer abrasive and/or extremely viscous materials from cartridges to any dispense valve with material pressures up to 200 psi. Titan 200 uses 20 oz cartridges and requires only plant air pressure to produce 2.0:1 material pressure power factor. Titan 128 uses 1/10 gal caulking cartridges with threaded outlets. Both can be mounted close to point...

Optical Encoders offer servo mount abilities.

Absolute encoders include 20 and 58 mm dia sizes, and generate 8 and 10 bit binary code output signals, respectively. Smaller size incorporates conductive composite housing, which provides EMI shielding and protection for assembly. Larger size, intended for industrial usage, incorporates larger radial bearings and 10mm OD input shaft for increased external load capacities. Both encoders satisfy...

Basalt America Announces Stronger, Lighter, and Corrosion-Free FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Polymers)

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), represents a truly groundbreaking advancement in structural reinforcement. Lightweight, strong, and green, they are changing the way the construction industry thinks about rebar. Unlike steel, FRPs don't rust and are far stronger than standard rebar. To learn why Fiber Reinforced Polymers are poised to change the way the world builds, see our video.
