RF Downconverters
RF Downconverters In today’s RF landscape, signal standards are advancing rapidly requiring higher frequencies and broader bandwidths for mission-critical applications such as 5G wireless, satellite GaGe offers a selection of RF Downconverter models that can cover narrowband frequencies starting at 9 kHz to wideband frequencies up to 40 GHz, with instantaneous bandwidths (IBW) that range from 10 MHz up to 500 MHz. The outputs of the RF Downconverters are connected to the channel inputs of high-speed PCIe Digitizers with suitable input bandwidth and A/D sampling rates for the targeted application. All RF Downconverter models [...]
DC Motor / Commutator Bar
DC Motor / Commutator Bar Industrial Dc Motor / Commutator Bar Depth Description Using a MTI Microtrak 4 laser triangulation sensor to measure a DC motor’s armature / commutator bar run out. We fitted a DC motor armature (rotor) in a lathe to spin it. The MTI laser head a DTS 50-20 has 50 mm standoff and a 20 mm measuring range. The laser was placed in a FS-5 magnetic  mount fixture and pointed at the commutator bars. The lathe was spun at 180 RPM and the commutator bar run out [...]

Cement Board Quality Control
Cement Board Quality Control Industrial Cement Board Quality Control Dimensions Description Introduction: Cement backer board is used as underlayment for tile floors, walls and counter tops. It is also used as exterior sheathing and in exterior stucco systems. Cement backer board has proven to be more durable than virtually any other underlayment if quality control and thickness is maintained. The Problem: A major cement board manufacturer was faced with the challenge to improve a board production line throughput and decrease the amount of waste in the process. Too thin of cement board [...]
Extruder Die Flatness
Extruder Die Flatness Industrial Extruder Die Flatness Thickness Description Introduction: Extruder dies have a flatness specification that must be maintained or the parts being extruded will be out of tolerance and non-conformant, resulting in scrap and disruptions. Periodic inspection of the die for flatness, deformation, burrs, or other irregularities is required. Situation: A tool and die company approached MTI Instruments, requesting assistance with a new method for inspecting their 20 ft long die. Contact gauges on a gantry had been the previous method; Non-contact was now the preferred practice. Solution: [...]

Fast Fourier Transform FPGA Firmware
Legacy Product – Contact Vitrek at info@vitrek.com for more information. Fast Fourier Transform FPGA Firmware Real-Time FPGA FFT for High-Performance Digital Signal Processing DataSheet Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) FPGA firmware, designed for GaGe CompuScope FFT digitizers, performs complex digital signal processing directly on the digitizer’s onboard FPGA— eliminating host PC load,minimizing latency, and delivering real-time insights for high-speed applications. Unlike traditional methods that depend on host-based processing, this FPGA FFT firmware accelerates time-to-results by moving all computational tasks to the digitizer hardware. Whether you're developing radar systems, running [...]
Powdered Metal Level
Powdered Metal Level Industrial Powdered Metal Level Level Description Many precision and no-precision metal parts are made from powdered metal. The metal may be placed in a feed ram or delivered on a web/ belt. Some processes require monitoring of the powdered metal height and it may have to be kept level across the web. For small applications a single spot laser (Microtrak 4) or several lasers may be adequate to monitor the process (powdered metal height ) and call for more metal as the ram or belt supply gets too [...]

Ice Detection
Ice Detection Industrial Ice Detection Presence/Absence Description Introduction:  Ships take in water from outside the hull to cool the engines and other auxiliary equipment. The water usually comes in through a sea chest. “The sea chest provides an intake reservoir from which piping systems draw raw water. Most sea chests are protected by removable gratings (trash screen), and contain baffle plates to dampen the effects of vessel speed or sea state. The intake size of sea chests varies from less than 10 cm² to several square meters“(Wikipedia). Problem: Frazil are [...]
