The PCB Passed Every Review. So Why Did the Product Fail?
Modern multi-board PCB design is becoming less about creating individual boards quickly and more about identifying engineering problems before they become expensive. A PCIe signal leaves one PCB, crosses a connector, travels through a cable assembly, enters a second board, and suddenly fails EMC testing three months later. The layout on each board looked correct. Signal lengths were matched. Design rules passed….
Mic-pre gain control should feel continuous and sound clean
In professional audio designs, digitally controlled microphone preamp gain can be a challenging integration point. Many systems combine stepped analog gain with a matching digital adjustment to create the experience of smooth, continuous control. The timing of those gain changes matters. When the analog and digital steps are not precisely coordinated, audible transients can occur. During…
In critical environments, precision is not a feature. It is a requirement
Whether you’re working with UHP gases, hydrogen systems, cooling water circuits, or high-tech manufacturing equipment, the performance of the entire system often depends on the quality of a single detail. A fitting that is not properly aligned, a particle introduced during assembly, or…
Vacuum doesn’t just remove air – it changes the rules of motion
Without air, heat transfer changes dramatically. Thermal management, outgassing, installation, and long-term reliability all become critical design considerations. Getting one of these wrong can lead to reduced performance or even costly downtime of your system. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
Capturing plasma dynamics that unfold in billionths of a second requires more than conventional imaging
We’re pleased to highlight the work of Dr. Milan Šimek and colleagues at the Czech Academy of Sciences, who investigated transient streamer-spark discharges at the air-water interface. To study these fast plasma events, the team used the PI-MAX4 ICCD, leveraging nanosecond-scale gating to visualize transient discharge behavior and support emission spectroscopy measurements.
Transparent in design with no programming needed, PHORTE fully supports CoaXPress 2.1 and CXPoF standards for high-speed bit rates up to 12.5 Gb/s. It is built for architecting a reliable, high-speed vision system, extending CoaXPress links as far as 10 kilometres over single mode fibre, or several hundred metres over cost-effective multimode fibre.

Haal het giswerk uit het instellen van de hoek van een sterstylus
Waarom is het handmatig instellen van de hoek van een sterstylus zo uitdagend? Omdat zelfs de kleinste aanpassing een groot verschil kan maken. Het handmatig uitlijnen van meerdere styli is tijdrovend, lastig te herhalen en hangt vaak af van de ervaring van de operator….
Software als sluitstuk van de Mechatronische Product Defintie in PRO.FILE
Steeds meer producten zijn mechatronisch van aard. Waar vroeger de productdefinitie bestond uit mechanische tekeningen, stuklijsten en handleidingen, is software inmiddels een onmisbaar onderdeel van het eindproduct. Denk aan PLC-programma’s, embedded software, HMI-applicaties, configuratiebestanden en scripts. Toch zien we in de praktijk dat deze software vaak buiten het PLM-landschap wordt beheerd. De broncode staat in GitHub…
