ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS Power Resistors alternatives to ARCOL/OHMITE by ATE + Metallux BEC Distribution has announced new availability of ATE and Metallux range of alternative Power Resistors for ARCOL/Ohmite resistors. ATE and Metallux are world-class manufacturers of power resistors, with own production and R&D facilities in Italy and Germany specialising in flat, round and wire- wound over aluminium, ceramic, compact brake resistors, Steel Grid Brake and modules constructed of water-cooled break resistors. Product applications include voltage dividers; de-charge resistors and start or charging resistors. Other applications include frequency converters for motor control using built-in or stand-alone units. Green Energy applications include heating elements for high power solutions or where brake energy can be re- used as heating energy.

With this in mind, Trizo Ltd has commissioned an additional surface mount pick & place line; IINEO II+ and 3D Automated Optical Inspection technology. This investment is the result of successful growth in business since relocating to bigger production purpose- built facilities in Bridgwater during December 2015. Taking the pressure off a fluctuating order flow, manufacturing capacity or engineering resource challenges, NSF Controls provides a range of assembly services and solutions, currently producing over a million assemblies annually, exporting to over 30 countries across five continents. This new production technology will enhance Trizo’s commitment to customers as well as the continuous improvement and total quality methodologies within the business, enhancing Trizo’s portfolio of incredible pieces of machinery. Continually investing in new technology for the business will safeguard continued growth. This is a true measure of Trizo’s continuous commitment to the highest quality standards. www.trizo.com Newbury Electronics instrumental in helping Skalene scale the heights of electrical engineering Martin Horrod, founder, Skalene, a leader in EMC Design & CE certification, recalls; “We were attracted to Newbury’s online PCB Train service due to its simplicity and the cost benefits of PCB pooling. We’ve utilised their kitting and assembly service which, when combined with the free-issue Rs and Cs, delivers real value. Feasibility studies of innovative technologies require a fast turnaround of prototype PCBs for test and evaluation. One project involved an automated microfluidic sample handling platform for DNA library preparation. “Newbury were instrumental in allowing us to produce prototypes and tweak designs with rapid turnaround. The platform, based on a modular architecture, consisted of up to 10 PCB’s per system of peltier temperature controllers, precision pump and valve controllers and interface and communication PCBs”. www.newburyelectronics.co.uk The company is BSI Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015 and BSI Environmental Management System ISO 14001:2015 certified ensuring consistently high quality manufacturing standards. NSF Controls has the flexibility and the multi skilled operators able to deliver precision- produced products with scalable capacity from single workstations to dedicated production line assembly for high volume orders.
