The acquisition takes place two months after the OnRobot merger of three robotics companies from the United States, Hungary and Denmark that created one global player with a focus on the market for industrial robot accessories.
IXYS UK Westcode, part of the global power semiconductor manufacturer, IXYS Corporation, is investing in its Chippenham, UK, factory to manufacture a new range of power semiconductor devices, which will be marketed alongside the company’s long-established Press-Pack Capsules (three-terminal power semiconductor devices).
I took a cursory look at this subject in a recent column but with the increasing number of companies expecting their calibration sources to make such decisions on their behalf, I thought a little more detail was in order.
In automotive and other safety-critical industries, impact testing is an important measure of a material’s failure properties. Properly testing both raw materials and molded components for their strength and durability can help engineers prevent failures, design lasting goods, and save lives.
Combining benchtop mechanical testing of smaller brake material samples with rapid 3D surface metrology makes it possible to analyze results more quickly than ever before.
Researching how different materials influence brake pad performance and durability involves a vast amount of back-and-forth testing and metrology analysis.
Leak testing is a method of product quality control that identifies manufacturing inconsistencies by porosity testing a manufactured part or system leaks.
