Since the inception of electronics in 1835, the risks involved with recycling them have been rising to a point clear e-waste recycling standards are required. The two pain points that companies often encounter with recycling electronic waste are data leaks and environmental health and safety.
Interchangeable? The short answer is no. There is a huge fundamental difference between these two terms – electrical and electronic, which results in further disparities between electrical and electronic devices.
Electric motors are used in a myriad of engineering fields, and in most cases, the speed and torque of each motor should match the process’ desired parameters. Since this cannot happen naturally – the speed or torque can be too high or too low – an inverter is added into […]
Sometimes, keeping your business up and running is a matter of having the right technician to ensure your repair process is seamless and efficient. A repair technician will have a particular set of tasks, such as troubleshooting, repairing, testing, and maintaining equipment to keep it from breaking down. However, to […]
Circuit boards are the heart of the electronics industry. You may have found one in one of your electronic devices. While most people use electronics daily, they don’t consider or understand the technology behind them. Here is an overview of what a circuit board does to give you a better […]
If you run any industrial application that uses motion control or motion feedback, you should know that an encoder is crucial to your production. These nifty units play a vital role in production finding applications for a myriad of industrial devices, including: Often, these devices need to operate quickly and […]
“Operator heard a BANG when they turned the system on; drive does not function when power is applied.” That’s from our customer and a very unhappy scene played out in small shops and manufacturing plants around the country. A dramatic “call for help” from this ABB variable frequency drive! The result: Drive repairs needed!
A servo drive is a torque-based electronic amplifier made up of a motor, drive, controller, and feedback unit. Servo systems play a crucial role in many operations that need precise linear and angular controls. They find applications in industries such as metal cutting, printing, woodworking, conveyor belt systems, and robotics.
A power supply is like an unsung hero in computing. You don’t pay much attention to it until it fails you. Without a spare, power supply failure means halting operations until it’s replaced or repaired.
Circuit boards are the heart of the technologies we use every day. Cellphones, TVs, vehicles, streetlights, and a plethora of other items rely on circuit boards, which is why a failure may be highly disruptive. Circuit boards fail for a variety of reasons, and they are linked to common factors such as moisture, heat, and dirt.
