‘Testbench Automation’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release AC/DC power converters for medical applications from Bear Power Supplies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Bear's compact and rugged BP Series encapsulated AC/DC power converters are available for purchase online, simplifying OEM evaluation for commercial, industrial and medical applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release System host board for energy and medical sectors from Kontron: "Kontron has introduced the PICMG 1.3 system host PCI-761, a slot-card-sized industrial server board equipped with the Intel Q57 Express chipset for asynchronous real-time applications.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Anderson Power Products - take a look at SPEC Pak enables environmental connections which says: "APP has released the SPEC Pak (Sealed Power For Environmental Connections) connector series for use wherever a rugged or waterproof high-power signal and ground interconnect solution is required.".
Take a look also at the news release from Saelig, LCD display modules for gauges and meters, as well as HMI touch panel suitable for factory automation from Aaeon, and RJ45 cable assembly suits sensor applications from Yamaichi Electronics.
