Thermal Infrared Test Equipment, Thermal Camera, Differential Scanning Calorimeter, Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer, Thermo Mechanical Analyzer, Dynamic Mechanical Thermal & IR Test Equipment CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service Among the many THERMAL ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT, we focus our attention to the popular ones in industry, namely the DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY ( DSC ), THERMO-GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS ( TGA ), THERMO-MECHANICAL ANALYSIS ( TMA ), DILATOMETRY,DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS ( DMA ), DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS ( DTA). Our INFRARED TEST EQUIPMENT involves THERMAL IMAGING INSTRUMENTS, INFRARED THERMOGRAPHERS, INFRARED CAMERAS. Some applications for our thermal imaging instruments are Electrical and Mechanical System Inspection, Electronic Component Inspection, Corrosion Damage and Metal Thinning, Flaw Detection. Please download catalogs from colored links below and let us know your prefered brand and model number of the product. You can purchase brand new or refurbished / used Thermal & IR Test Equipment from us: FLUKE Test Tools Catalog (includes Thermal Imagers, Thermometers) HAIDA Color Assessment Cabinet Private Label Hand Tools for Every Industry (This catalog contains a few thermal & IR test instruments. We can private label these hand tools if you wish. In other words, we can put your company name, brand and label on them. This way you can promote your brand by reselling these to your customers.) DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETERS (DSC) : A technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment. The temperature program for a DSC analysis is established so that the sample holder temperature increases linearly as a function of time. The reference sample has a well-defined heat capacity over the range of temperatures to be scanned. DSC experiments provide as a result a curve of heat flux versus temperature or versus time. Differential scanning calorimeters are frequently used to study what happens to polymers when they're heated. The thermal transitions of a polymer can be studied using this technique. Thermal transitions are changes that take place in a polymer when they are heated. The melting of a crystalline polymer is an example. The glass transition is also a thermal transition. DSC thermal analysis is carried out for determining Thermal Phase Changes, Thermal Glass Transition Temperature (Tg), Crystalline Melt Temperatures, Endothermic Effects, Exothermic Effects, Thermal Stabilities, Thermal Formulation Stabilities, Oxidative Stabilities, Transition Phenomena, Solid State Structures. DSC analysis determines the Tg Glass Transition Temperature, temperature at which amorphous polymers or an amorphous part of a crystalline polymer go from a hard brittle state to a soft rubbery state, melting point, temperature at which a crystalline polymer melts, Hm Energy Absorbed (joules/gram), amount of energy a sample absorbs when melting, Tc Crystallization Point, temperature at which a polymer crystallizes upon heating or cooling, Hc Energy Released (joules/gram), amount of energy a sample releases when crystallizing. Differential Scanning Calorimeters can be used to determine the thermal properties of plastics, adhesives, sealants, metal alloys, pharmaceutical materials, waxes, foods, oils and lubricants and catalysts….etc. DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYZERS (DTA): An alternative technique to DSC. In this technique it is the heat flow to the sample and reference that remains the same instead of the temperature. When the sample and reference are heated identically, phase changes and other thermal processes cause a difference in temperature between the sample and reference. DSC measures the energy required to keep both the reference and the sample at the same temperature whereas DTA measures the difference in temperature between the sample and the reference when they are both put under the same heat. So they are similar techniques. THERMOMECHANICAL ANALYZER (TMA) : The TMA reveals the change in the dimensions of a sample as a function of temperature. One can regard TMA as a very sensitive micrometer. The TMA is a device that allows precise measurements of position and can be calibrated against known standards. A temperature control system consisting of a furnace, heat sink and a thermocouple surrounds the samples. Quartz, invar or ceramic fixtures hold the samples during tests. TMA measurements record changes caused by changes in the free volume of a polymer. Changes in free volume are volumetric changes in the polymer caused by the absorption or release of heat associated with that change; the loss of stiffness; increased flow; or by the change in relaxation time. The free volume of a polymer is known to be related to viscoelasticity, aging, penetration by solvents, and impact properties. The glass transition temperature Tg in a polymer corresponds to the expansion of the free volume allowing greater chain mobility above this transition. Seen as an inflection or bending in the thermal expansion curve, this change in the TMA can be seen to cover a range of temperatures. The glass transition temperature Tg is calculated by an agreed upon method. Perfect agreement is not immediately witnessed in the value of the Tg when comparing different methods, however if we carefully examine the agreed upon methods in determining the Tg values then we understand that there is actually good agreement. Besides its absolute value, the width of the Tg is also an indicator of changes in the material. TMA is a relatively simple technique to carry out. TMA is often used for measuring Tg of materials such as highly cross-linked thermoset polymers for which the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is difficult to use. In addition to Tg, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is obtained from thermomechanical analysis. The CTE is calculated from the linear sections of the TMA curves. Another useful result the TMA can provide us is finding out the orientation of crystals or fibers. Composite materials may have three distinct thermal expansion coefficients in the x, y and z directions. By recording the CTE in x, y and z directions one may understand in which direction fibers or crystals are predominantly oriented. To measure the bulk expansion of the material a technique called DILATOMETRY can be used. The sample is immersed in a fluid such as silicon oil or Al2O3 powder in the dilatometer, run thru the temperature cycle and the expansions in all directions are converted to a vertical movement, which is measured by the TMA. Modern thermomechanical analyzers make this easy for users. If a pure liquid is used, the dilatometer is filled with that liquid instead of the silicon oil or alumina oxide. Using diamond TMA the users can run stress strain curves, stress relaxation experiments, creep-recovery and dynamic mechanical temperature scans. The TMA is an indispensible test equipment for industry and research. THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYZERS ( TGA ) : Thermogravimetric Analysis is a technique where the mass of a substance or specimen is monitored as a function of temperature or time. The sample specimen is subjected to a controlled temperature program in a controlled atmosphere. The TGA measures a sample’s weight as it is heated or cooled in its furnace. A TGA instrument consists of a sample pan that is supported by a precision balance. That pan resides in a furnace and is heated or cooled during the test. The mass of the sample is monitored during the test. Sample environment is purged with an inert or a reactive gas. Thermogravimetric analyzers can quantify loss of water, solvent, plasticizer, decarboxylation, pyrolysis, oxidation, decomposition, weight % filler material, and weight % ash. Depending on the case, information may be obtained upon heating or cooling. A typical TGA thermal curve is displayed from left to right. If the TGA thermal curve descends, it indicates a weight loss. Modern TGAs are capable of conducting isothermal experiments. Sometimes the user may want to use a reactive sample purge gases, such as oxygen. When using oxygen as a purge gas user may want to switch gases from nitrogen to oxygen during the experiment. This technique is frequently used to identify the percent carbon in a material. Thermogravimetric analyzer can be used to compare two similar products, as a quality control tool to ensure products meet their material specifications, to ensure products meet safety standards, to determine carbon content, identifying counterfeit products, to identify safe operating temperatures in various gases, to enhance product formulation processes, to reverse engineer a product. Finally it is worth mentioning that combinations of a TGA with a GC/MS are available. GC is short for Gas Chromatography and MS is short for Mass Spectrometry. DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYZER ( DMA) : This is a technique where a small sinusoidal deformation is applied to a sample of known geometry in a cyclic manner. The materials response to stress, temperature, frequency and other values is then studied. The sample can be subjected to a controlled stress or a controlled strain. For a known stress, the sample will deform a certain amount, depending on its stiffness. DMA measures stiffness and damping, these are reported as modulus and tan delta. Because we are applying a sinusoidal force, we can express the modulus as an in-phase component (the storage modulus), and an out of phase component (the loss modulus). The storage modulus, either E’ or G’, is the measure of the sample’s elastic behavior. The ratio of the loss to the storage is the tan delta and is called damping. It is considered a measure of the energy dissipation of a material. Damping varies with the state of the material, its temperature, and with the frequency. DMA is sometimes called DMTA standing for DYNAMIC MECHANICAL THERMAL ANALYZER. Thermomechanical Analysis applies a constant static force to a material and records the material dimensional changes as temperature or time varies. The DMA on the other hand, applies an oscillatory force at a set frequency to the sample and reports changes in stiffness and damping. DMA data provides us modulus information whereas the TMA data gives us the coefficient of thermal expansion. Both techniques detect transitions, but DMA is much more sensitive. Modulus values change with temperature and transitions in materials can be seen as changes in the E’ or tan delta curves. This includes glass transition, melting and other transitions that occur in the glassy or rubbery plateau which are indicators of subtle changes in the material. THERMAL IMAGING INSTRUMENTS, INFRARED THERMOGRAPHERS, INFRARED CAMERAS : These are devices that form an image using infrared radiation. Standard everyday cameras form images using visible light in the 450–750 nanometer wavelength range. Infrared cameras however operate in the infrared wavelength range as long as 14,000 nm. Generally, the higher an object's temperature, the more infrared radiation is emitted as black-body radiation. Infrared cameras work even in total darkness. Images from most infrared cameras have a single color channel because the cameras generally use an image sensor that does not distinguish different wavelengths of infrared radiation. To differentiate wavelengths color image sensors require a complex construction. In some test instruments these monochromatic images are displayed in pseudo-color, where changes in color are used rather than changes in intensity to display changes in the signal. The brightest (warmest) parts of images are customarily colored white, intermediate temperatures are colored red and yellow, and the dimmest (coolest) parts are colored black. A scale is generally shown next to a false color image to relate colors to temperatures. Thermal cameras have resolutions considerably lower than that of optical cameras, with values in the neighborhood of 160 x 120 or 320 x 240 pixels. More expensive infrared cameras can achieve a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels. There are two main categories of thermographic cameras: COOLED INFRARED IMAGE DETECTOR SYSTEMS and UNCOOLED INFRARED IMAGE DETECTOR SYSTEMS. Cooled thermographic cameras have detectors contained in a vacuum-sealed case and are cryogenically cooled. The cooling is necessary for the operation of the semiconductor materials used. Without cooling, these sensors would be flooded by their own radiation. Cooled infrared cameras are however expensive. Cooling requires much energy and is time-consuming, requiring several minutes of cooling time prior to working. Although the cooling apparatus is bulky and expensive, cooled infrared cameras offer users superior image quality compared to uncooled cameras. The better sensitivity of cooled cameras allows the use of lenses with higher focal length. Bottled nitrogen gas can be used for cooling. Uncooled thermal cameras use sensors operating at ambient temperature, or sensors stabilized at a temperature close to ambient using temperature control elements. Uncooled infrared sensors are not cooled to low temperatures and therefore do not require bulky and expensive cryogenic coolers. Their resolution and image quality however is lower as compared to cooled detectors. Thermographic cameras offer many opportunities. Overheating spots is power lines can be located and repaired. Electric circuitry can be observed and unusually hot spots can indicate problems such as short circuit. These cameras are also widely used in buildings and energy systems to locate places where there is significant heat loss so that better heat insulation can be considered at those points. Thermal imaging instruments serve as non-destructive test equipment. For details and other similar equipment, please visit our equipment website: http://www.sourceindustrialsupply.com PREVIOUS PAGE

PNEUMATIC TOOLS (also called AIR TOOLS or AIR-POWERED TOOLS or PNEUMATIC-POWERED TOOLS are types of power tools driven by compressed air, supplied by air compressors. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) stored in small cylinders allowing portability and use where no compressed air lines are available. Pneumatic tools are safer to run and easier to maintain than electric power tool equivalents. Pneumatic tools also have a higher power-to-weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter tool to accomplish the same task. General grade pneumatic tools with short life span are generally less expensive. Both disposable as well as industrial grade pneumatic tools with long life span are available. Generally speaking, pneumatic tools are cheaper than the equivalent electric-powered tools. Air tools are becoming more and more popular in the DIY (Do it yourself) market. HYDRAULIC-POWERED TOOLS on the other hand are generally more powerful tools used for applications that require higher pressures and forces. Liquids are much much less compressible than gases and that is the reason why hydraulic powered tools are able to supply such large forces. INDUSTRIAL VACUUM TOOLS offered are mostly manipulators, grippers, holders, lifters used in handling, moving, removing parts and components in industrial settings. Vacuum is also used in packaging to remove air from inside packages to extend the shelf life of products and protect them from moisture, air and early corrosion and decay.

The ADJUSTABLE REGULATED ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLIES are some of the most popular ones, because their output values can be adjusted and their output voltage or current is maintained constant even if there are variations in input voltage or load current. ISOLATED POWER SUPPLIES have power outputs that are electrically independent of their power inputs. Depending on their power conversion method, there are LINEAR and SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES. The linear power supplies process the input power directly with all their active power conversion components working in the linear regions, whereas the switching power supplies have components working predominantly in non-linear modes (such as transistors) and convert power to AC or DC pulses before processing. Switching power supplies are generally more efficient than linear supplies because they lose less power due to shorter times their components spend in the linear operating regions. Depending on application, a DC or AC power is used. Other popular devices are PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLIES, where voltage, current or frequency can be remotely controlled through an analog input or digital interface such as an RS232 or GPIB. Many of them have an integral microcomputer to monitor and control the operations. Such instruments are essential for automated testing purposes. Some electronic power supplies use current limiting instead of cutting off power when overloaded. Electronic limiting is commonly used on lab bench type instruments. SIGNAL GENERATORS are another widely used instruments in lab and industry, generating repeating or non-repeating analog or digital signals. Alternatively they are also called FUNCTION GENERATORS, DIGITAL PATTERN GENERATORS or FREQUENCY GENERATORS. Function generators generate simple repetitive waveforms such as sine waves, step pulses, square & triangular and arbitrary waveforms. With Arbitrary waveform generators the user can generate arbitrary waveforms, within published limits of frequency range, accuracy, and output level. Unlike function generators, which are limited to a simple set of waveforms, an arbitrary waveform generator allows the user to specify a source waveform in a variety of different ways. RF and MICROWAVE SIGNAL GENERATORS are used for testing components, receivers and systems in applications such as cellular communications, WiFi, GPS, broadcasting, satellite communications and radars. RF signal generators generally work between a few kHz to 6 GHz, while microwave signal generators operate within a much wider frequency range, from less than 1 MHz to at least 20 GHz and even up to hundreds of GHz ranges using special hardware. RF and microwave signal generators can be classified further as analog or vector signal generators. AUDIO-FREQUENCY SIGNAL GENERATORS generate signals in the audio-frequency range and above. They have electronic lab applications checking of the frequency response of audio equipment. VECTOR SIGNAL GENERATORS, sometimes also referred to as DIGITAL SIGNAL GENERATORS are capable of generating digitally-modulated radio signals. Vector signal generators can generate signals based on industry standards such as GSM, W-CDMA (UMTS) and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11). LOGIC SIGNAL GENERATORS are also called DIGITAL PATTERN GENERATOR. These generators produce logic types of signals, that is logic 1s and 0s in the form of conventional voltage levels. Logic signal generators are used as stimulus sources for functional validation & testing of digital integrated circuits and embedded systems. The devices mentioned above are for general-purpose use. There are however many other signal generators designed for custom specific applications. A SIGNAL INJECTOR is a very useful and quick troubleshooting tool for signal tracing in a circuit. Technicians can determine the faulty stage of a device such as a radio receiver very quickly. The signal injector can be applied to the speaker output, and if the signal is audible one can move to the preceding stage of the circuit. In this case an audio amplifier, and if the injected signal is heard again one can move the signal injection up the stages of the circuit until the signal is no longer audible. This will serve the purpose of locating the location of the problem. A MULTIMETER is an electronic measuring instrument combining several measurement functions in one unit. Generally, multimeters measure voltage, current, and resistance. Both digital and analog version are available. We offer portable hand-held multimeter units as well as laboratory-grade models with certified calibration. Modern multimeters can measure many parameters such as: Voltage (both AC / DC), in volts, Current (both AC / DC), in amperes, Resistance in ohms. Additionally, some multimeters measure: Capacitance in farads, Conductance in siemens, Decibels, Duty cycle as a percentage, Frequency in hertz, Inductance in henries, Temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, using a temperature test probe. Some multimeters also include: Continuity tester; sounds when a circuit conducts, Diodes (measuring forward drop of diode junctions), Transistors (measuring current gain and other parameters), battery checking function, light level measuring function, acidity & Alkalinity (pH) measuring function and relative humidity measuring function. Modern multimeters are often digital. Modern digital multimeters often have an embedded computer to make them very powerful tools in metrology and testing. They include features such as:: •Auto-ranging, which selects the correct range for the quantity under test so that the most significant digits are shown. •Auto-polarity for direct-current readings, shows if the applied voltage is positive or negative. •Sample and hold, which will latch the most recent reading for examination after the instrument is removed from the circuit under test. •Current-limited tests for voltage drop across semiconductor junctions. Even though not a replacement for a transistor tester, this feature of digital multimeters facilitates testing diodes and transistors. •A bar graph representation of the quantity under test for better visualization of fast changes in measured values. •A low-bandwidth oscilloscope. •Automotive circuit testers with tests for automotive timing and dwell signals. •Data acquisition feature to record maximum and minimum readings over a given period, and to take a number of samples at fixed intervals. •A combined LCR meter. Some multimeters can be interfaced with computers, while some can store measurements and upload them to a computer. Yet another very useful tool, an LCR METER is a metrology instrument for measuring the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) of a component. The impedance is measured internally and converted for display to the corresponding capacitance or inductance value. Readings will be reasonably accurate if the capacitor or inductor under test does not have a significant resistive component of impedance. Advanced LCR meters measure true inductance and capacitance, and also the equivalent series resistance of capacitors and the Q factor of inductive components. The device under test is subjected to an AC voltage source and the meter measures the voltage across and the current through the tested device. From the ratio of voltage to current the meter can determine the impedance. The phase angle between the voltage and current is also measured in some instruments. In combination with the impedance, the equivalent capacitance or inductance, and resistance, of the device tested can be calculated and displayed. LCR meters have selectable test frequencies of 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, and 100 kHz. Benchtop LCR meters typically have selectable test frequencies of more than 100 kHz. They often include possibilities to superimpose a DC voltage or current on the AC measuring signal. While some meters offer the possibility to externally supply these DC voltages or currents other devices supply them internally. An EMF METER is a test & metrology instrument for measuring electromagnetic fields (EMF). Majority of them measure the electromagnetic radiation flux density (DC fields) or the change in an electromagnetic field over time (AC fields). There are single axis and tri-axis instrument versions. Single axis meters cost less than tri-axis meters, but take longer to complete a test because the meter only measures one dimension of the field. Single axis EMF meters have to be tilted and turned on all three axes to complete a measurement. On the other hand, tri-axis meters measure all three axes simultaneously, but are more expensive. An EMF meter can measure AC electromagnetic fields, which emanate from sources such as electrical wiring, while GAUSSMETERS / TESLAMETERS or MAGNETOMETERS measure DC fields emitted from sources where direct current is present. The majority of EMF meters are calibrated to measure 50 and 60 Hz alternating fields corresponding to the frequency of US and European mains electricity. There are other meters which can measure fields alternating at as low as 20 Hz. EMF measurements can be broadband across a wide range of frequencies or frequency selective monitoring only the frequency range of interest. A CAPACITANCE METER is a test equipment used to measure capacitance of mostly discrete capacitors. Some meters display the capacitance only, whereas others also display leakage, equivalent series resistance, and inductance. Higher end test instruments use techniques such as inserting the capacitor-under-test into a bridge circuit. By varying the values of the other legs in the bridge so as to bring the bridge into balance, the value of the unknown capacitor is determined. This method ensures greater precision. The bridge may also be capable to measure series resistance and inductance. Capacitors over a range from picofarads to farads may be measured. Bridge circuits do not measure leakage current, but a DC bias voltage can be applied and the leakage measured directly. Many BRIDGE INSTRUMENTS can be connected to computers and data exchange be made to download readings or to control the bridge externally. Such bridge instruments aso offer go / no go testing for automation of tests in a fast paced production & quality control environment. Yet, another test instrument, a CLAMP METER is an electrical tester combining a voltmeter with a clamp type current meter. Most modern versions of clamp meters are digital. Modern clamp meters have most of the basic functions of a Digital Multimeter, but with the added feature of a current transformer built into the product. When you clamp the instrument’s “jaws” around a conductor carrying a large ac current, that current is coupled through the jaws, similar to the iron core of a power transformer, and into a secondary winding which is connected across the shunt of the meter’s input, the principle of operation resembling much that of a transformer. A much smaller current is delivered to the meter’s input due to the ratio of the number of secondary windings to the number of primary windings wrapped around the core. The primary is represented by the one conductor around which the jaws are clamped. If the secondary has 1000 windings, then the secondary current is 1/1000 the current flowing in the primary, or in this case the conductor being measured. Thus, 1 amp of current in the conductor being measured would produce 0.001 amps of current at the input of the meter. With clamp meters much larger currents can be easily measured by increasing the number of turns in the secondary winding. As with most of our test equipment, advanced clamp meters offer logging capability. GROUND RESISTANCE TESTERS are used for testing the earth electrodes and the soil resistivity. The instrument requirements depend on the range of applications. Modern clamp-on ground testing instruments simplify ground loop testing and enable non-intrusive leakage current measurements. Among the ANALYZERS we sell are OSCILLOSCOPES without doubt one of the most widely used equipment. An oscilloscope, also called an OSCILLOGRAPH, is a type of electronic test instrument that allows observation of constantly varying signal voltages as a two-dimensional plot of one or more signals as a function of time. Non-electrical signals like sound and vibration can also be converted to voltages and displayed on oscilloscopes. Oscilloscopes are used to observe the change of an electrical signal over time, the voltage and time describe a shape which is continuously graphed against a calibrated scale. Observation and analysis of the waveform reveals us properties such as amplitude, frequency, time interval, rise time, and distortion. Oscilloscopes can be adjusted so that repetitive signals can be observed as a continuous shape on the screen. Many oscilloscopes have storage function that allows single events to be captured by the instrument and displayed for a relatively long time. This allows us to observe events too fast to be directly perceptible. Modern oscilloscopes are lightweight, compact and portable instruments. There are also miniature battery-powered instruments for field service applications. Laboratory grade oscilloscopes are generally bench-top devices. There is a vast variety of probes and input cables for use with oscilloscopes. Please contact us in case you need advice about which one to use in your application. Oscilloscopes with two vertical inputs are called dual-trace oscilloscopes. Using a single-beam CRT, they multiplex the inputs, usually switching between them fast enough to display two traces apparently at once. There are also oscilloscopes with more traces; four inputs are common among these. Some multi-trace oscilloscopes use the external trigger input as an optional vertical input, and some have third and fourth channels with only minimal controls. Modern oscilloscopes have several inputs for voltages, and thus can be used to plot one varying voltage versus another. This is used for example for graphing I-V curves (current versus voltage characteristics) for components such as diodes. For high frequencies and with fast digital signals the bandwidth of the vertical amplifiers and sampling rate must be high enough. For-general purpose use a bandwidth of at least 100 MHz is usually sufficient. A much lower bandwidth is sufficient for audio-frequency applications only. Useful range of sweeping is from one second to 100 nanoseconds, with appropriate triggering and sweep delay. A well-designed, stable, trigger circuit is required for a steady display. The quality of the trigger circuit is key for good oscilloscopes. Another key selection criteria is the sample memory depth and sample rate. Basic level modern DSOs now have 1MB or more of sample memory per channel. Often this sample memory is shared between channels, and can sometimes only be fully available at lower sample rates. At the highest sample rates the memory may be limited to a few 10's of KB. Any modern ''real-time'' sample rate DSO will have typically 5-10 times the input bandwidth in sample rate. So a 100 MHz bandwidth DSO would have 500 Ms/s - 1 Gs/s sample rate. Greatly increased sample rates have largely eliminated the display of incorrect signals that was sometimes present in the first generation of digital scopes. Most modern oscilloscopes provide one or more external interfaces or buses such as GPIB, Ethernet, serial port, and USB to allow remote instrument control by external software. Here is a list of different oscilloscope types: CATHODE RAY OSCILLOSCOPE DUAL-BEAM OSCILLOSCOPE ANALOG STORAGE OSCILLOSCOPE DIGITAL OSCILLOSCOPES MIXED-SIGNAL OSCILLOSCOPES HANDHELD OSCILLOSCOPES PC-BASED OSCILLOSCOPES A LOGIC ANALYZER is an instrument that captures and displays multiple signals from a digital system or digital circuit. A logic analyzer may convert the captured data into timing diagrams, protocol decodes, state machine traces, assembly language. Logic Analyzers have advanced triggering capabilities, and are useful when the user needs to see the timing relationships between many signals in a digital system. MODULAR LOGIC ANALYZERS consist of both a chassis or mainframe and logic analyzer modules. The chassis or mainframe contains the display, controls, control computer, and multiple slots into which the data-capturing hardware is installed. Each module has a specific number of channels, and multiple modules can be combined to obtain a very high channel count. The ability to combine multiple modules to obtain a high channel count and the generally higher performance of modular logic analyzers makes them more expensive. For the very high end modular logic analyzers, the users may need to provide their own host PC or purchase an embedded controller compatible with the system. PORTABLE LOGIC ANALYZERS integrate everything into a single package, with options installed at the factory. They generally have lower performance than modular ones, but are economical metrology tools for general purpose debugging. In PC-BASED LOGIC ANALYZERS, the hardware connects to a computer through a USB or Ethernet connection and relays the captured signals to the software on the computer. These devices are generally much smaller and less expensive because they make use of a personal computer’s existing keyboard, display and CPU. Logic analyzers can be triggered on a complicated sequence of digital events, then capture large amounts of digital data from the systems under test. Today specialized connectors are in use. The evolution of logic analyzer probes has led to a common footprint that multiple vendors support, which provides added freedom to end users: Connectorless technology offered as several vendor-specific trade names such as Compression Probing; Soft Touch; D-Max is being used. These probes provide a durable, reliable mechanical and electrical connection between the probe and the circuit board. A SPECTRUM ANALYZER measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of signals. There are optical and acoustical spectrum analyzers as well, but here we will discuss only electronic analyzers that measure and analyze electrical input signals. The spectra obtained from electrical signals provides us information about frequency, power, harmonics, bandwidth…etc. The frequency is displayed on the horizonal axis and the signal amplitude on the vertical. Spectrum analyzers are widely used in the electronics industry for the analyses of the frequency spectrum of radio frequency, RF and audio signals. Looking at the spectrum of a signal we are able to reveal elements of the signal, and the performance of the circuit producing them. Spectrum analyzers are able to make a large variety of measurements. Looking at the methods used to obtain the spectrum of a signal we can categorize the spectrum analyzer types. - A SWEPT-TUNED SPECTRUM ANALYZER uses a superheterodyne receiver to down-convert a portion of the input signal spectrum (using a voltage-controlled oscillator and a mixer) to the center frequency of a band-pass filter. With a superheterodyne architecture, the voltage-controlled oscillator is swept through a range of frequencies, taking advantage of the full frequency range of the instrument. Swept-tuned spectrum analyzers are descended from radio receivers. Therefore swept-tuned analyzers are either tuned-filter analyzers (analogous to a TRF radio) or superheterodyne analyzers. In fact, in their simplest form, you could think of a swept-tuned spectrum analyzer as a frequency-selective voltmeter with a frequency range that is tuned (swept) automatically. It is essentially a frequency-selective, peak-responding voltmeter calibrated to display the rms value of a sine wave. The spectrum analyzer can show the individual frequency components that make up a complex signal. However it does not provide phase information, only magnitude information. Modern swept-tuned analyzers (superheterodyne analyzers, in particular) are precision devices that can make a wide variety of measurements. However, they are primarily used to measure steady-state, or repetitive, signals because they can't evaluate all frequencies in a given span simultaneously. The ability to evaluate all frequencies simultaneously is possible with only the real-time analyzers. - REAL-TIME SPECTRUM ANALYZERS: A FFT SPECTRUM ANALYZER computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), a mathematical process that transforms a waveform into the components of its frequency spectrum, of the input signal. The Fourier or FFT spectrum analyzer is another real-time spectrum analyzer implementation. The Fourier analyzer uses digital signal processing to sample the input signal and convert it to the frequency domain. This conversion is done using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT is an implementation of the Discrete Fourier Transform, the math algorithm used for transforming data from the time domain to the frequency domain. Another type of real-time spectrum analyzers, namely the PARALLEL FILTER ANALYZERS combine several bandpass filters, each with a different bandpass frequency. Each filter remains connected to the input at all times. After an initial settling time, the parallel-filter analyzer can instantaneously detect and display all signals within the analyzer's measurement range. Therefore, the parallel-filter analyzer provides real-time signal analysis. Parallel-filter analyzer is fast, it measures transient and time-variant signals. However, the frequency resolution of a parallel-filter analyzer is much lower than most swept-tuned analyzers, because the resolution is determined by the width of the bandpass filters. To get fine resolution over a large frequency range, you would need many many individual filters, making it costly and complex. This is why most parallel-filter analyzers, except the simplest ones in the market are expensive. - VECTOR SIGNAL ANALYSIS (VSA) : In the past, swept-tuned and superheterodyne spectrum analyzers covered wide frequency ranges from audio, thru microwave, to millimeter frequencies. In addition, digital signal processing (DSP) intensive fast Fourier transform (FFT) analyzers provided high-resolution spectrum and network analysis, but were limited to low frequencies due to the limits of analog-to-digital conversion and signal processing technologies. Today's wide-bandwidth, vector-modulated, time-varying signals benefit greatly from the capabilities of FFT analysis and other DSP techniques. Vector signal analyzers combine superheterodyne technology with high speed ADC's and other DSP technologies to offer fast high-resolution spectrum measurements, demodulation, and advanced time-domain analysis. The VSA is especially useful for characterizing complex signals such as burst, transient, or modulated signals used in communications, video, broadcast, sonar and ultrasound imaging applications. According to form factors, spectrum analyzers are grouped as benchtop, portable, handheld and networked. Benchtop models are useful for applications where the spectrum analyzer can be plugged into AC power,such as in a lab environment or manufacturing area. Bench top spectrum analyzers generally offer better performance and specifications than the portable or handheld versions. However they are generally heavier and have several fans for cooling. Some BENCHTOP SPECTRUM ANALYZERS offer optional battery packs, allowing them to be used away from a mains outlet. Those are referred to as a PORTABLE SPECTRUM ANALYZERS. Portable models are useful for applications where the spectrum analyzer needs to be taken outside to make measurements or carried while in use. A good portable spectrum analyzer is expected to offer optional battery-powered operation to allow the user to work in places without power outlets, a clearly viewable display to allow the screen to be read in bright sunlight, darkness or dusty conditions, light weight. HANDHELD SPECTRUM ANALYZERS are useful for applications where the spectrum analyzer needs to be very light and small. Handheld analyzers offer a limited capability as compared to larger systems. Advantages of handheld spectrum analyzers are however their very low power consumption, battery-powered operation while in the field to allow the user to move freely outside, very small size & light weight. Finally, NETWORKED SPECTRUM ANALYZERS do not include a display and they are designed to enable a new class of geographically-distributed spectrum monitoring and analysis applications. The key attribute is the ability to connect the analyzer to a network and monitor such devices across a network. While many spectrum analyzers have an Ethernet port for control, they typically lack efficient data transfer mechanisms and are too bulky and/or expensive to be deployed in such a distributed manner. The distributed nature of such devices enable geo-location of transmitters, spectrum monitoring for dynamic spectrum access and many other such applications. These devices are able to synchronize data captures across a network of analyzers and enable Network-efficient data transfer for a low cost. A PROTOCOL ANALYZER is a tool incorporating hardware and/or software used to capture and analyze signals and data traffic over a communication channel. Protocol analyzers are mostly used for measuring performance and troubleshooting. They connect to the network to calculate key performance indicators to monitor the network and speed-up troubleshooting activities. A NETWORK PROTOCOL ANALYZER is a vital part of a network administrator's toolkit. Network protocol analysis is used to monitor the health of network communications. To find out why a network device is functioning in a certain way, administrators use a protocol analyzer to sniff the traffic and expose the data and protocols that pass along the wire. Network protocol analyzers are used to - Troubleshoot hard-to-solve problems - Detect and identify malicious software / malware. Work with an Intrusion Detection System or a honeypot. - Gather information, such as baseline traffic patterns and network-utilization metrics - Identify unused protocols so that you can remove them from the network - Generate traffic for penetration testing - Eavesdrop on traffic (e.g., locate unauthorized Instant Messaging traffic or wireless Access Points) A TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER (TDR) is an instrument that uses time-domain reflectometry to characterize and locate faults in metallic cables such as twisted pair wires and coaxial cables, connectors, printed circuit boards,….etc. Time-Domain Reflectometers measure reflections along a conductor. In order to measure them, the TDR transmits an incident signal onto the conductor and looks at its reflections. If the conductor is of a uniform impedance and is properly terminated, then there will be no reflections and the remaining incident signal will be absorbed at the far end by the termination. However, if there is an impedance variation somewhere, then some of the incident signal will be reflected back to the source. The reflections will have the same shape as the incident signal, but their sign and magnitude depend on the change in impedance level. If there is a step increase in the impedance, then the reflection will have the same sign as the incident signal and if there is a step decrease in impedance, the reflection will have the opposite sign. The reflections are measured at the output/input of the Time-Domain Reflectometer and displayed as a function of time. Alternatively, the display can show the transmission and reflections as a function of cable length because the speed of signal propagation is almost constant for a given transmission medium. TDRs can be used to analyze cable impedances and lengths, connector and splice losses and locations. TDR impedance measurements provide designers the opportunity to perform signal integrity analysis of system interconnects and accurately predict the digital system performance. TDR measurements are widely used in board characterization work. A circuit board designer can determine the characteristic impedances of board traces, compute accurate models for board components, and predict board performance more accurately. There are many other areas of application for time-domain reflectometers. A SEMICONDUCTOR CURVE TRACER is a test equipment used to analyze the characteristics of discrete semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, and thyristors. The instrument is based on oscilloscope, but contains also voltage and current sources that can be used to stimulate the device under test. A swept voltage is applied to two terminals of the device under test, and the amount of current that the device permits to flow at each voltage is measured. A graph called V-I (voltage versus current) is displayed on the oscilloscope screen. Configuration includes the maximum voltage applied, the polarity of the voltage applied (including the automatic application of both positive and negative polarities), and the resistance inserted in series with the device. For two terminal devices like diodes, this is sufficient to fully characterize the device. The curve tracer can display all of the interesting parameters such as the diode's forward voltage, reverse leakage current, reverse breakdown voltage,…etc. Three-terminal devices such as transistors and FETs also use a connection to the control terminal of the device being tested such as the Base or Gate terminal. For transistors and other current based devices, the base or other control terminal current is stepped. For field effect transistors (FETs), a stepped voltage is used instead of a stepped current. By sweeping the voltage through the configured range of main terminal voltages, for each voltage step of the control signal, a group of V-I curves is generated automatically. This group of curves makes it very easy to determine the gain of a transistor, or the trigger voltage of a thyristor or TRIAC. Modern semiconductor curve tracers offer many attractive features such as intuitive Windows based user interfaces, I-V, C-V and pulse generation, and pulse I-V, application libraries included for every technology…etc. PHASE ROTATION TESTER / INDICATOR: These are compact and rugged test instruments to identify phase sequence on three-phase systems and open/de-energized phases. They are ideal for installing rotating machinery, motors and for checking generator output. Among the applications are the identification of proper phase sequences, detection of missing wire phases, determination of proper connections for rotating machinery, detection of live circuits. A FREQUENCY COUNTER is a test instrument that is used for measuring frequency. Frequency counters generally use a counter which accumulates the number of events occurring within a specific period of time. If the event to be counted is in electronic form, simple interfacing to the instrument is all that is needed. Signals of higher complexity may need some conditioning to make them suitable for counting. Most frequency counters have some form of amplifier, filtering and shaping circuitry at the input. Digital signal processing, sensitivity control and hysteresis are other techniques to improve performance. Other types of periodic events that are not inherently electronic in nature will need to be converted using transducers. RF frequency counters operate on the same principles as lower frequency counters. They have more range before overflow. For very high microwave frequencies, many designs use a high-speed prescaler to bring the signal frequency down to a point where normal digital circuitry can operate. Microwave frequency counters can measure frequencies up to almost 100 GHz. Above these high frequencies the signal to be measured is combined in a mixer with the signal from a local oscillator, producing a signal at the difference frequency, which is low enough for direct measurement. Popular interfaces on frequency counters are RS232, USB, GPIB and Ethernet similar to other modern instruments. In addition to sending measurement results, a counter can notify the user when user-defined measurement limits are exceeded.

Cams, Followers, Linkages, Ratchet Wheels Manufacturing, OD or Plate Cam, Barrel Conjugate Dual Cam, Harmonic Transformer, Positive Motion Cam - AGS-TECH Inc. Cams & Followers & Linkages & Ratchet Wheels Manufacturing CAMS / FOLLOWERS / LINKAGES / RATCHET WHEELS: A CAM is a machine element designed to generate a desired motion in a follower by means of direct contact. Cams are generally mounted on rotating shafts, even though they can be used so that they remain stationary and the follower moves about them. Cams may also produce oscillating motion or may convert motions from one form to another. The shape of a cam is always determined by the motion of the CAM FOLLOWER. A cam is the end product of a desired follower movement. A MECHANICAL LINKAGE is an assembly of bodies connected to manage forces and movement. Combinations of the crank, link, and sliding elements are commonly termed bar linkages. Linkages are essentially straight members joined together. Only a small number of dimensions need to be held closely. The joints make use of standard bearings, and the links in effect form a solid chain. Systems having cams and linkages convert rotary motion into reciprocating or oscillating motion. RATCHET WHEELS are used to transform reciprocating or oscillatory motion into intermittent motion, to transmit motion in one direction only, or as an indexing device. We offer our customers the following TYPES OF CAMS: - OD or plate cam - Barrel cam (drum or cylinder) - Dual cam - Conjugate cam - Face cam - Combination drum and plate cam - Globoidal cam for automatic tool changer - Positive motion cam - Indexing drive - Multi - station drive - Geneva - type drives We have the following CAM FOLLOWERS: - Flat face follower - Radial follower / Offset radial follower - Swinging follower - Conjugate radial dual roller followers - Closed-cam follower - Spring-loaded conjugate cam roller - Conjugate swing arm dual-roller follower - Index cam follower - Roller followers (round, flat, roller, offset roller) - Yoke - type follower Click here to download our brochure for Cam Followers Some of the MAJOR TYPES OF MOTIONS produced by our cams are: - Uniform motion (constant - velocity motion) - Parabolic motion - Harmonic motion - Cycloidal motion - Modified trapezoidal motion - Modified sine-curve motion - Synthesized, modified sine - harmonic motion Cams have advantages over kinematic four-bar linkages. Cams are easier to design and actions produced by cams can be more accurately forecast. For example, with linkages it is very difficult to cause the follower system to remain stationary during portions of cycles. On the other hand, with cams this is accomplished by a contour surface that runs concentric with the rotation center. We design cams with special computer programs accurately. With standard cam motions we can produce a predetermined motion, velocity and acceleration during a specific portion of a cam cycle, which would be much more difficult using linkages. When designing high quality cams for fast machines, we take into account proper dynamic design considering velocity, acceleration and jerk characteristics of the follower system. This includes vibrational analysis as well as shaft torque analysis. Also of utmost importance are proper material selection for cams taking into account factors such as stresses present, wear, lifetime and cost of the system where the cams will be installed. Our software tools and design experience allows us to optimize cam size for best performance and material & cost savings. To produce master cams, we prepare or obtain from our clients a table of cam radii with corresponding cam angles. Cams are then cut on a milling machine by point settings. As a result, a cam surface with a series of ridges is obtained which is subsequently filed down to a smooth profile. The cam radius, cutting radius and frequency of machine settings determine the extent of filing and accuracy of the cam profile. To produce accurate master cams, settings are in 0.5 degree increments, calculated to seconds. Cam size depends primarily on three factors. These are the pressure angle, curvature of profile, camshaft size. Secondary factors affecting cam size are cam-follower stresses, available cam material and space available for the cam. A cam is of no value and useless without a follower linkage. A linkage is generally a group of levers and links. Linkage mechanisms offer a number of advantages over cams, with the exception that the functions must be continuous. LINKAGES we offer are: - Harmonic transformer - Four-bar linkage - Straight-line mechanism - Cam linkage / Systems having linkages and cams Click on highlighted text to download our catalog for our NTN Model Constant Velocity Joints for Industrial Machines Download Catalog of Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings Ratchet wheels are used to transform reciprocating or oscillating motion to intermittent motion, to transmit motion in one direction only or as indexing devices. Ratchets are generally lower in cost than cams and a ratchet has different capabilities than a cam. When motion needs to be transmitted at intervals instead of continuously and if the loads are light, ratchets can be ideal. RATCHET WHEELS we offer are: - External ratchet - U-shaped pawl - Double-acting rotary ratchet - Internal ratchet - Friction ratchet - Sheet metal ratchet and pawl - Ratchet with two pawls - Ratchet assemblies (wrench, jack) CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE
