POWER PACK DIGITAL POWER SUPPLY SIFCO Selective Plating, Cleveland

The DALIPACK lo/45 Power Pack was specially developed for selective anodizing. It provides up to 10 A DC at 0 to 45 V. The unique feature of this power pack i$ its ability to operate at either con- stant current or constant voltage. This flexibility isimportant in selective anodizing because some processes, such as chromic anodizing, are better utilized at constant voltage. Other processes, such as hard coating, are better done at constant cur- rent with a voltage limit to prevent burning.

Precision Process Equipment Inc., Niagara Falls, N.Y.

l’he PS-2-1OA switch-mode power supply is spe- :ially designed to regulate current or voltage for tight-tolerance processes. The unit delivers up to 10 A at 20 V DC with current programmable in 3.001-A increments. The controller can be pro- grammed and used as a stand-alone device or can be operated remotely through the serial commu- nication port (RS 422/RS 485) in a multiaxis en- vironment. A user-programmable feature to de- tect and alarm abnormal voltage variations in the process is standard.

ELECTROCOAT RECTIFIER Controlled Power Co., Troy, Mich.

Designed to improve quality and increase test- sample efficiency, Controlled Power’s portable rec- tifier is especially valuable for safely diagnosing paint finish problems. Having the same electrical design as a large plant-floor rectifier, this portable unit uses 120-VAC input to provide 0- to 400-VDC output at 4 A. Features include simple start/stop control, adjustable cycle timer, and electronically controlled regulation with ripple filtering. The unit’s small footprint allows for bench-top, rack- mount, or vertical operation.
