Digital Tachometer

The word Digital Tachometer is derived from two Greek words: tachos means “speed” and metron means “to measure”. It works on the principle of a Digital Tachometer generator, which means when a motor is operated as a generator, it produces the voltage according to the velocity of the shaft. It is also known as revolution-counter, and its operating principle can be electromagnetic, electronic or optical-based. Power, accuracy, RPM range, measurements and display are the specifications of a Digital Tachometer. DigitalTachometer can be analog or digital indicating meters; however, this article focuses only on the digital Tachometers.

Digital Tachometer Types

The Digital Tachometer are classified into four types based on the data acquisition and measurement techniques.

·        Contact type

·        Non-Contact type

·        Time measurement

·        Frequency measurement

The Digital Tachometer counters on cars, aircraft, and other vehicles show the rate of rotation of the engine's crankshaft, and typically have markings indicating a safe range of rotation speeds. This can assist the driver in selecting appropriate throttle and gear settings for the driving conditions. Prolonged use at high speeds may cause inadequate lubrication, overheating (exceeding capability of the cooling system), exceeding speed capability of sub-parts of the engine (for example spring retracted valves) thus causing excessive wear or permanent damage or failure of engines. This is more applicable to manual transmissions than to automatics. On analogue Digital Tachometers, speeds above maximum safe operating speed are typically indicated by an area of the gauge marked in red, giving rise to the expression of "redlining" an engine — revving the engine up to the maximum safe limit. The red zone is superfluous on most modern cars, since their engines typically have a revolution limiter which electronically limits engine speed to prevent damage. Diesel engines with traditional mechanical injector systems have an integral governor which prevents over-speeding the engine, so the Digital Tachometers in vehicles and machinery fitted with such engines sometimes lack a redline.

Applications in Industries

In vehicles such as tractors and trucks, the Digital Tachometer often has other markings, usually a green arc showing the speed range in which the engine produces maximum torque, which is of prime interest to operators of such vehicles. Tractors fitted with a power take-off (PTO) system have Digital Tachometers showing the engine speed needed to rotate the PTO at the standardized speed required by most PTO-driven implements. The Digital Tachometer, in many countries, tractors are required to have a speedometer for use on a road. To save fitting a second dial, the vehicle's Digital Tachometer is often marked with a second scale in units of speed. This scale is only accurate in a certain gear, but since many tractors only have one gear that is practical for use on-road, this is sufficient. Tractors with multiple 'road gears' often have Digital Tachometers with more than one speed scale. Aircraft Digital Tachometers have a green arc showing the engine's designed cruising speed range.

The Digital Tachometer In older vehicles, the Digital Tachometer is driven by the RMS voltage waves from the low tension (LT) side of the ignition coil, while on others (and nearly all diesel engines, which have no ignition system) engine speed is determined by the frequency from the alternator Digital Tachometer output. This is from a special connection called an "AC tap" which is a connection to one of the stator's coil output, before the rectifier. Digital Tachometers driven by a rotating cable from a drive unit fitted to the engine (usually on the camshaft) exist - usually on simple diesel-engine machinery with basic or no electrical systems. On recent EMS found on modern vehicles, the signal for the Digital Tachometer is usually generated from an ECU which derives the information from either the crankshaft or camshaft speed sensor.

Lux Meter

In other words, the lux is a unit of measurement of brightness, or more accurately, illuminance. The illumination is how level of luminous flux is falling on a surface area. The luminous flux is visible component that is defined in radiant flux (light power) divided by relative sensitivity of human eyes over the visible spectrum. This means the Lux is well fit to light level from sense of human eyes. Lux is ultimately deriving from the candela, the standard unit of measurement for the power of light.

A candela is a fixed amount, roughly equivalent to the brightness of one candle. While the candela is a unit of energy, it has an equivalent unit known as the lumen, which measures the same light in terms of its perception by the human eye. One lumen is equivalent to the light produced in one direction from a light source rated at one candela. The lux takes into account the surface area over which this light is spread, which affects how bright it appears. One lux equals one lumen of light spread across a surface one square meter.

Working of Lux Meter

Measuring lighting or the illumination of an environment requires the use of an the  lux Meter is a device for measuring brightness. It specifically measures the intensity with which the brightness appears to the human eye. This is different than measurements of the actual light energy produced by or reflected from an object or light source.

The  lux Meter works by using a photo cell to capture light. The meter then converts this light to an electrical current. Measuring this current allows the device to calculate the lux value of the light it captured.

The  lux Meter is a light meter’s calculation of illuminance is done by using the Point Source process.  The measure of the lux light meter varies depending on the light’s intensity and distance.  If a point source has no reflections, a portion of the produced light reaches a surface.

Applications of Lux meter

I) Photography and Video Filming. By measuring the light in luxes, photographers can adjust their shutter speed and depth of field to get the best picture quality. The device can also be very useful for filming outdoor scenes of television programs or movies as it allows adjustments to make sure scenes filmed in different light levels have a consistent brightness on screen.

ii) Health and Safety regulations: It can be used to check whether the brightness of a room is enough to meet any rules designed to protect workers from suffering damage to their eyesight. Using a lux meter takes into account the size of the room in a way that simply measuring the intensity of the light source in lumens would not.

iii) Photographic Measurements; It also measures the photography subject’s illuminance.  When using a lux light meter, the photographer can determine the aperture number and the exposure setting.

Insulation Resistance Tester

In a perfect world, all the electrical current sent along a conductive wire would reach its intended destination. However, in the real world some of it is lost along the way for various reasons. Wires are insulated with a resistant sheathing to contain the conductivity of the typically copper or aluminum core, but even with this insulation resistance tester in place, some of the current still manages to escape.

Much like a leak in a water pipe, an imperfection in the insulation resistance tester of a wire allows a steady flow of electricity to escape, which can be detrimental to electrical circuits and machinery. However, testing can help you determine whether the insulation resistance tester is performing at an effective and safe level. Routine testing can identify problems before they result in injury or equipment failure.

Innovation in insulation resistance tester

Insulation resistance tester is subject to many elements that can cause it to perform at a less-than-acceptable level. Excessive heat or cold, moisture, vibration, dirt, oil, and corrosive vapors can all contribute to deterioration. For this reason, routine insulation resistance tester testing is necessary.

Insulation resistance tester starts to age as soon as it's made. As its ages, its insulating performance deteriorates. Any harsh installation environments, especially those with temperature extremes and/or chemical contamination, accelerates this process. This deterioration can result in dangerous conditions in power reliability and personnel safety. As such, it's important to identify this deterioration quickly so that corrective steps can be taken. One of the simplest tests and its required test instrument are not universally understood. To help eliminate this lack of understanding, let's discuss in detail Insulation resistance tester Resistance (IR) testing and the megohmmeter.

Soldering Iron

The Soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current (supplied through an electrical cord or battery cables) through a resistive heating element. Cordless irons can be heated by combustion of gas stored in a small tank, often using a catalytic heater rather than a flame. Simple irons less commonly used today than in the past were simply a large copper bit on a handle, heated in a flame.

Flux Cleaner

In the metallurgical industry, is used as a flux for soldering applications. It is used to prevent metal parts and assemblies from oxidizing during the heat-treating process. Commonly used for soldering electronic parts, creates a barrier between metal workpieces and the heat source that’s used to perform the soldering operation. This scenario is essential for keeping metal contacts from oxidizing and causing costly repairs for unanticipated electrical problems.

According to Wikipedia, flux that is commonly used for electronics “has about 1% () as a flux core helping the molten metal flow and making a better connection by reducing the refractory solid oxide layer [that is] formed at the surface back to metal. When the heat-treating process is complete, leftover () is frequently as the burnt or clear residue that [surrounds newly soldered] electrical parts.” This description of soldering inherently underlines the importance of using a high-quality) flux remover on affected electrical components.

Using () Flux Cleaner

() flux remover is formulated to remove the “burnt or clear residue” that () flux leaves after the heat-treating process is complete. When () is used as a flux for soldering electrical contacts — particularly those that other precision components tightly surround — using an aerosol  flux remover offers several benefits over using a flux remover in wipe form. Below are some essential benefits of using an aerosol solution instead of one that is wiped on by hand.

·          Easier to control dispersal of the solution

·          Less waste flux remover in the waste trap

·          Easy to implement and put directly to use

·          Even dispersal of remover on affected parts

A small amount of () flux residue that surrounds electrical contacts may not seem to be a major problem to the casual observer. However, there are several reasons to remove the accumulation, with the following reasons being highly crucial to the operation of the equipment and its acceptance by customers who need to use the equipment in a business-critical capacity.

·          A () shell may cause contacts to become hotter than usual

·          The chemical consistency of () may cause contact corrosion

·          () on contacts may cause customers to reject the product

·          Depending on its properties, () make attract dirt and grime

For these reasons and others, it’s important for metallurgists that use () soldering flux to use a () flux remover to remove excessive accumulations of () -based flux residue, too. If your company is looking for a chemist-created () flux remover, () that is available from ()  in aerosol and liquid form may be the perfect solution for your work processes.

Static Eliminator

The static eliminators are products that protect susceptible items from the effects of static discharge. These static shields are also known as antistatic (anti-static) devices, anti-static electricity devices, or static charge eliminators. They work by dampening, reducing, or otherwise inhibiting its buildup or discharge.

Static eliminators or static ionizers eliminate static and dust and can neutralize and clean surfaces at remote distances. Static neutralization is a practical method of static reduction; however complete static elimination is not readily attainable. In its simplest form, a static eliminator or static ionizer is a static reduction device that produces positive and negative ions which are attracted to an unbalanced surface or material. As long as friction is not reintroduced, static electricity remains at minimum levels. Since static eliminators vary in terms of capabilities, a careful consideration of performance specifications is an important part of product selection.

Application of Static Eliminators

Static electricity is a stationary electric charge imposed on a solid surface. The solid surface either gains or loses electrons by interacting with other materials or surfaces, most commonly after any amount of friction has been applied. The resulting surface will have an excess of either positive (+) or negative (-) charges that attract opposing charges and repel like charges. The study of stationary or slow-moving electric charges is known as electrostatics.

The electrostatic forces causing attraction and repulsion can be explained by Coulomb's Law. Coulomb's law states: "The force of attraction or repulsion between two-point charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them."

Static eliminator are used to eliminate static and dust. Static electricity is a problem, which companies face globally. It primarily affects industries, which handle nonconductive materials like plastics, paper, board, laminates and textiles. The electrostatic attraction repulsion cause materials to stick to machinery, or to each other, leading to jams, slow machine speed and poor quality and productivity. Friction, pressure and separation are the major causes of static electricity. When humidity is lower, higher static charges are generated. It becomes more noticeable in the months of winter, in dry laminates, and in air-conditioned environments.

The static eliminator safety and compliance standards, laid down a framework for devices and there is a need to adhere to depend on your product, industry, and location.

International Standards and compliance

Other organizations in the world that issue static eliminator standards include the military (Mil-Specs), the ESDA (Electrostatic Discharge Association), ANSI affiliate, the NRC (Us Nuclear Regulatory Committee), and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

Also, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has been putting out standards for static eliminators related to electrostatic discharge for customers around the world since the 1980s. We highly recommend making sure that your supplier can make static control products that meet IEC standards before agreeing to work with them. For information on the best standard requirements for your application, talk to your industry leaders.

Our ergonomically and precision forced static eliminators design are fully compiled with international standards and norms to deliver best and reliable quality and focus for our customers spread across the globe.

Desoldering Station

Usage of Desoldering stations range from very minute straight-forward jobs to heavy-duty applications. Based on the requirement and application, different stations are available, varying in power consumption, temperature range, microcontroller (MCU) based control and other features.

Contact Desoldering stations are the most common and popular kind of Desoldering stations. These have a built-in power supply unit, which, in most cases, ensures the galvanic separation between the power circuit and the heating element. Voltage on the heating element can be adjusted using the power supply unit and the heating temperature can be changed accordingly.

Features of Desoldering stations

Lead-free Desoldering station are another category that is used to wire lead-free printed circuit boards (PCBs). These usually make use of lead-free solders and are not necessarily expensive. With many developed nations making regulations favoring lead-free Desoldering, these stations could come in handy for future applications. Lead-free Desoldering stations are specially designed for working with lead-free solders, which offer good reliability and good solderability.

Although, lead-free stations have their own share of cons such as requirement of extra heat to melt lead-free solder, which, in turn, affects the tip of the Desoldering iron. Most of the reputed manufacturers educate their buyers on ideal usage of lead-free Desoldering stations, which helps them maintain and extend the life of Desoldering tips.

Additional perks

Desoldering stations are also packaged with different kinds of heaters. Ceramic heaters, induction coil heaters and combination of heater, sensor and Desoldering tip integrated into one tool are some other variations in Desoldering stations.

Hot-air rework and Desoldering stations are generally used for removing components from PCBs and re-Desoldering new ones. While rework stations are ideal for simple jobs, Desoldering stations are mostly used for demanding reworks on PCB boards and are comparatively less expensive.

Hot-air Desoldering stations are optimum for professionals and hobbyists because these can be used for preheating components before removing or can be used to reflow SMT components such as dual inline packaging (DIP), small outline integrated circuits (SOICs), quad flat packages (QFPes) and other ICs.

Desoldering and Desoldering stations are a must have for all electronics professionals. Nowadays, all stations are electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe, Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant and digital in nature, the new-age Desoldering station offers digital display, digital calibration and password lock functions at a very competitive price. One of the recent developments is the induction heating-based hybrid Desoldering station. These stations use the benefits of both technologies, IR heating technology and convection, to bring out the best in Desoldering.

Hot-air stations are coming with built-in turbines for easy repair applications and heating processes such as shrinking. Brushless turbine is incorporated for ideal hot air flow such that hot air temperature is controlled electronically. Benchtop Desoldering or rework stations have the most accurate temperature controls, best thermal recovery and additional features like programmable timing. Desoldering stations come with (XX) Technology Desoldering iron tips. These low-mass tips provide effective heat transfer via its silver core.
