The VT814 is the 2nd in the series of VadaTech's horizontal-mount MicroTCA.4 chassis. The 2U chassis has 6 double module AMC slots and corresponding Rear Transition Modules (RTMs), an MCH slot, and redundant power supplies. The chassis accepts up to two of VadaTech's 500W AC power supplies (UTC017) or 796W (UTC013). Other standard PSUs in the double module/full-size can be utilized.

The 40GbE-capable backplane equalizes clock delays across the AMC slots, minimizing the requirement for skew correction in high-energy physics applications. The VT814 comes with a Telco Alarm and JTAG Switch Module standard.

VadaTech will be releasing a 1U MicroTCA.4 chassis platform in early 2015. The company offers the full ecosystem of MicroTCA.4 and MicroTCA.0 products, including FPGAs, A/D & D/A converters, power modules, MCHs, processors, RTMs, storage modules, graphics modules, chassis platforms, and application-ready platforms.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
