Products & Services
IndustryPack® Modules
IndustryPack® modules are computer boards that interface with the IndustryPack (IP) mezzanine bus, a device used to provide input/output (I/O) capabilities in general-purpose computer systems. IndustryPack is a registered trademark of GreenSpring computers and a specification maintained by the VITA standards organization (VSO) of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Lithium Batteries
Lithium batteries have a lithium anode. They are available as both primary batteries and secondary batteries.
Boring Tools
Boring tools are used to cut or finish the inner diameter of holes.
X-ray Sources
X-ray sources are lamps that generate or produce X-rays, a form of electromagnetic radiation, for non-destructive testing (NDT) or inspection.
Electrical Terminations
Electrical terminations are installed at the end of a bus or transmission line to prevent signals from reflecting back. Sometimes called electrical terminators, these devices are used to prevent electrical interference.
