SMD SWIR LEDs
EPIGAP OSA Photonics GmbH, Berlin, Germany, has released a surface-mount device (SMD) shortwave infrared (SWIR). Model OCI-460 ID1550-XS operates at 1550 nm and features drive current up to 1.5 A to deliver approximately 13 percent higher output efficiency over the company’s OCI-480 package. Other models in the series operate at wavelengths of 1040, 1200, 1300, and 1460 nm. Output power varies depending on the specific model. The SMD SWIR’s design utilizes an industry-standard 3535 footprint combining a silicone dome and ceramic package to ensure excellent thermal efficiency. Each package in the series integrates electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices for longer life and reliable performance.

PWM Controller
Dart Controls, Zionsville, IN, has introduced a high-performance pulse width modulation (PWM) controller for 12–48-V battery powered equipment. Rated for 10–20 A continuous current, the 65E features adjustable maximum speed, minimum speed, current limit, IR compensation, and acceleration, plus an operating frequency of 18 kHz. In addition to the new reversing option, the updated design offers supply voltage and current limit status LEDs and current limit shutdown and output. SMT design and advanced circuitry minimizes voltage drop (up to 60+ percent less voltage drop). It is available in open chassis and NEMA 4X enclosed models. Optional undervoltage lockout protects from battery deep cycle discharge. Inhibit input provides a low power method to shut down motor.

Brushless Servo Motors
Teknic, Inc., Rochester, NY, has released integrated brushless servo motors (1-4 HP continuous power) that are now officially IP66K and IP67 rated, making them ideal for demanding washdown environments. The AC-input ClearPath™ TENV (totally enclosed, non-ventilated) motors are designed to withstand both high-pressure washdowns (IP66K) and temporary submersion in water up to 1 meter when not running (IP67). The motors meets both U.S. Premium Efficiency and European IE3 efficiency standards. Each ClearPath permanent magnet (PM) motor includes a sealed, NEMA 6-rated servo drive (equivalent to a VFD) built directly into the motor enclosure. Preconfigured for advanced field-oriented control (FOC), this all-in-one design eliminates the need for external VFD-to-motor cables.

Automatic Bandsaw
Behringer Saws, Inc., Morgantown, PA, has launched an automatic bandsaw designed to for sawing bundled materials in the medical industry with a unique clamping device design. The HBE663A Performance features a double clamping vice, which securely clamps both the starting material and the finished cut, making it ideal for bundle cutting or single cuts. The retracting fixed vice jaws enable precise positioning of even strapped bundles, enhancing overall cutting accuracy. Robust vertical clamping devices ensure that bundles are securely held during sawing, providing precise and repeatable cutting operations. The saw’s servo downfeed system, powered by a ball screw and servo motor, significantly reduces idle times and enhances feed precision. The automatic guide arm ensures optimum sawing results without adjustments.

Interface Terminal
TOSS Machine Components, Inc., Nazareth, PA, has released a touchscreen interface terminal that pairs with its PIREG C2 line of DIN rail mounted in-cabinet controllers. The PIREG-548 interface terminal is designed for panel mounting. The low-voltage touchscreen display offers direct communication to the PIREG controller and provides real-time graphical and numerical display of the heating element’s temperature along with the ability to set sealing temperature. Calibration can also be accomplished through the display. Optional thermocouple integration offers more advanced calibration options. Together, the PIREG-548 and PIREG-C2 delivers rapid, accurate temperature measurement by reading the heat-sealing band’s resistance directly, eliminating the need for thermocouples while in cycle.
