Laser cell allows for versatile label placement


Designed to accurately mark PCBs on a production line or for use as a standalone cell, the Laser marking system series 3 from Nutek uses a “flying laser” concept. The PCB is locked in its marking position while the CO2


laser is


moved using the servo controlled x-y axis. The number of markings


and their positions are software programmable.

Thick film heating technology protects


Each week, Otter Controls manufactures and sells over three million electromechanical components, mostly bimetal actuators for the thermal protection of DC motors and electric kettles. Thick film heating elements


are a core competence of one of its subsidiaries, Ferro Techniek.


The company’s thick film heating technology offers high power density on a low mass stainless steel plate, which provides fast heating and cooling times. The patented EFAST protection


system keeps up with the rate of temperature change, instantly detecting hotspots on the element surface or an abuse situation, preventing stress and damage.
