CONNECTICUT SPRING & STAMPING ANNOUNCES ELECTRONICS CAPABILITIES

Springs and stampings from prototype through high volume production

Farmington, CT - Connecticut Spring & Stamping (CSS), a manufacturer of precision parts for the aerospace, medical, firearms and defense industries worldwide, announces its wide range of springs and stampings for the electronics industry. CSS has a 40-year history of working as a trusted partner with major electronics manufacturers, from collaborating in product development and prototyping through high- and low-volume manufacturing. Parts consignment at customer warehouses is offered to decrease the costs of carrying parts inventory.


CSS's history goes back to its early development of a design for stamped D-shells still used in computer connectors. The company manufactures and assembles stampings and springs used in circuit breakers, sensors, controls and computer connectors, including pressure release valves, spring regulators, plunger return springs, as well as wire forms, clutch springs, and actuator and backup rings. Major customers include General Electric Corporation, TE Connectivity (Tyco), Eaton Corporation (Cutler-Hammer) and Parker Hannifin Corporation.

Known for its extremely rapid turnaround time capabilities, CSS works in conjunction with customers from product development and prototyping and continuing on through high volume production.

For one recent innovative circuit breaker application designed for areas where space is at a premium and the ability to upgrade electrical systems is critical, CSS consulted on the wire sizes, loads and spring designs, and then provided prototypes and engineering samples on a fast-track basis to meet the customer's product launch timetable. With CSS's consignment program, parts are manufactured and shipped directly to a customer's warehouse and the customer is not invoiced until the parts are actually used.

"CSS specializes in collaborating with electronics customers to achieve their design objectives," said Steve Dicke, vice president of sales and marketing at CSS (www.ctspring.com). "We are experts in assisting our customers with part design for manufacturability and consistency."

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
