Control Resources, a leading supplier of microprocessor-based and power electronics to original equipment manufacturers, are excited to be expanding manufacturing capabilities to include the brand-new Raphael 4040 Robotic Brush Coater by Invention House. This tabletop robotic conformal coater will complement our existing production line.

The Raphael 4040, uses a flow-through brush and precision peristaltic pumps to apply a conformal coating to the PCB surface. Since there is no overspray or masking required PCB production is faster with less waste. Raphael’s brush is programmed to move over X, Y, & Z paths to avoid sensitive areas. Coating thickness and brush speed is controlled from point to point on the PCB and from front to back delivering repeatable consistent coatings.

The small, but powerful, Raphael 4040 can hold multiple boards or panels in its 225 square-inch PCB fixture. With no overspray or mixing, the Raphael creates a safer working environment for employees and eliminates area contamination traditional spray coatings create.

]]> CRI Introduces Universal Brushless DC Motor Controller https://controlresources.com/cri-introduces-universal-brushless-dc-motor-controller/ Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:47:03 +0000 https://36a67e2669.nxcli.io/?p=14399 Eddie-10 Datasheet is an off-the-shelf, customer programmable controller for 24-48VDC BLDC motors rated up to 10 Amps. While no single controller can be used for every BLDC motor, the proprietary design of this six step trapezoidal sensorless control has been able to run all BLDC motors (within its power range) tested to date. Control parameters can be easily customized using the menu driven detachable Navigator hand-held programmer. The Navigator can be used to set control input range (up to 10VDC), speed range, pole count, current /torque limits, acceleration/deceleration rates and on/off set points without burdening the cost of each controller. Profiles can be saved and copied to multiple controllers quickly and easily. The Eddy-10 also includes voltage, current, temperature protection and a multi-color status LED to give feedback in the event a fault does occur.

In addition to being able to provide customer programmable off-the-shelf controllers, CRI can offer specialized variants of standard products and full custom designs based on mechanical constraints, power requirements and specific functions listed below.

  • Sensor or sensor-less designs
  • Sinusoidal or Trapezoidal wave forms
  • Custom circuit board sizes and shapes
