Why buy a fan when you can purchase a cost-saving complete assembly?


I Lemo will be exhibiting


at the Electronics Design Show 2018


It’s latest range of compact lightweight sealed connectors for outdoor applications


assembly solutions, will be exhibiting its latest compact lightweight sealed connectors, specifically designed for outdoor applications, at the Electronic Design Show, Ricoh Arena, Coventry from 17-18 October this year. With a reputation for designing precision connectors for


L


over 70 years, LEMO will be highlighting a wide range of high quality reliable connectors and cable assemblies with prominence given to the T Series push-pull self-latching multipole connector. This rugged, sealed connector features IP68 rating and


is ideal for applications ranging from medical, test and measurement to industrial controls.

EMO, the acknowledged leader in the design and manufacture of precision custom connection and cable


n conjunction with EBM Papst, Inelco Hunter now offers a one-stop-shop


fan implementation service offering easier, streamlined implementation of complete fan assemblies. The potential benefits include a shorter supply chain and a lower cost of acquisition. This innovative new concept is


called Higher Level Assembly, or HLA. The proposition is simple and potent: why buy a fan when you can source a complete, bespoke service? And why spend time, money and resources managing multiple suppliers when you can choose a comprehensive service from a single supplier with proven manufacturing quality?


As its name suggests, HLA is the assembly of any number of component parts into a complete or near-complete


system, finished product or sub-level assembly. It frees design engineers and engineering buyers from the chore and time-consuming expense of sourcing, buying, storing and assembling many different components. The HLA service offers greater efficiency, quicker implementation and reduced overheads. David Bushnell, MD of Inelco Hunter commented “The implementation of fan design has got easier and more


streamlined with HLA. It’s a comprehensive solution that enables customers to shorten their supply chain and lower the overall total cost of acquisition. It’s founded on EBM Papst’s comprehensive UK design and manufacturing capabilities that span sheet metal fabrication, cable assembly, box-build, assembly and test. Customers can simply contact Inelco Hunter with their specifications and we will do the rest - turning the specs into a complete, finished fan assembly, ready to be integrated into the customer’s end-product”. In addition, Inelco Hunter can supply complementary components such as surge protection devices, connectors,


relays, TFT Touch Screen displays, and thermal printers, making them a comprehensive electronic component supplier. Inelco Hunter’s wide product range is backed by an in-house engineering support team, offering design, consultancy and project management services.

6SigmaET demos world’s first VR thermal simulation software at the Engineering Design Show


12 offers the first glimpse of the potential for this new design approach. Commenting ahead of


F


the show, Tom Gregory, Product Manager at Future Facilities said, “Ultimately thermal simulation users want faster, easier to use and more accurate tools – and we’re continually evolving 6SigmaET to keep our users ahead in a fast- paced market. As part of that, we think it is important to focus not only on immediate enhancements, but also to look further ahead.


uture Facilities will be demoing the latest release of its leading thermal simulation software, 6SigmaET at


this year’s Engineering Design Show (stand H55) The new release incorporates a number of significant


modelling enhancements that deliver another boost to overall simulation speed – extending 6SigmaET’s performance advantage compared to alternative tools. It also includes a prototype virtual reality (VR) visualisation mode – a world first feature that offers an insight into the potential for VR to open up new possibilities for thermal design analysis and optimisation. Connecting 6SigmaET with the Oculus Rift VR


headset allows engineers to view and explore their models in virtual reality for the first time. In future, engineers will be able to use VR to closely analyse and fix design issues from ‘inside’ their models, and Release


“While Release 12 features a number of


improvements that respond directly to our customers’ specific needs, we’re also breaking new ground with our VR capabilities. Although VR is still an emerging technology for industrial applications, we think there is enormous potential for it to bring new value as a user interface. As such, we wanted to take the lead in the industry and start to explore that potential now.” To find out more about the latest version of

ODU - not your average connector company


O


DU will be showcasing several new additions at the Engineering Design Show.


Developed from the well-established ODU-AMC®


[Advanced Military Connector], the new ODU Threaded Connector utilises a screw-locking-with-rachet mechanism [half-turn locking] and is intended for applications requiring additional security, or where pressure/vibration could be problematic. The ODU-MAC® modular rectangular hybrid connector


transmits signals, power, high-current, high-voltage, coax and other media such as air, fluids, high-speed data or fiber optics – all in one interface. New to this range is the ODU-MAC® RAPID a split-shell housing giving a host of intelligent internal options and also a High-Current Module, with a load up to 225 amps and operating voltage of 1000 volts. ODU are a 'problem-solving' connector manufacturer,


working closely with their OEM customers to develop both connectors and packaging, providing cost-effective solutions to the problems of modern-day electronics. So, why not stop by Stand J16.
