Atec Sorensen-SG Series - Manual (Page 3)

Applications
Process Control
Whether you are controlling ion beams for the manufacture of
semiconductors, or driving a current through electrolyte for precise
control in a plating process, the SG series is an ideal choice with it’s
small size, reliable modular design and standard analog programma-
bility. Direct control of V and I along with monitoring of the actual
voltage and current, provides a simple interface for your PLC or
other type of analog controller.
Product Development
Testing & Burn-in of DC-DC converters, laser diodes, automotive and
semiconductor components and aircraft flight hardware are just a few
of the items being tested using the SG product family. From simple
front panel control to complex test sequences for compliance testing,
the SG series will keep pace with your changing application needs.
Research
A research environment presents some of the most demanding
requirements on your test instrumentation. Equipment that is
sufficient today, may not meet the needs of the next project. With
the SG series this is no longer a problem. The modular design
allows you to easily upgrade to higher power levels in the future,
or parallel units to achieve up to 150 kW. With the sophisticated
sequencing capability of the SGI model, you can build an infinite
variety of test or diagnostic programs and have them execute
directly from the power supply.
Automotive Component Test
The 16-bit resolution and Ethernet enabled hardware triggering
allows for detailed sequencing associated with battery fluctuation
simulation. The tight load regulation capability of the SG series
makes it a superior source for validation and acceptance testing
and burn-in of automotive components. The 40V models, in
particular, provide a full range of testing to simulate battery
conditions. Margin testing of components, such as electronic control
units (ECU) and electromechanical components, is easily achieved.
Rackmount ATE Systems
The high power density of the SG series makes it ideal for
ATE System integration. The wide variety of voltage and current
combinations in 3U and 6U heights allows multiple voltage outputs
in a small amount of space. The wide variety of control methods
possible, allows easy integration into legacy systems as well as high
speed systems.
Battery Charging
The SG series provides high accuracy voltage output to optimize
battery charging. Battery charging requires high accuracy voltage and
stable current output. With the remote interface options, the charging
process can easily be automated for volume production.
