Mining and earth-moving operations around the globe have inspired some of the largest, most powerful machines ever designed and built by man. These machines involve millions of parts and sub-assemblies and can weigh on the order of close to 500,000… Continue reading Position Sensing Hydraulics In Highwall Mining Equipment
In fact, we’ve been having one for over 70 years now. Our J4 series waterproof ball switches might be considered the belle of the ball, when it comes to high performance, high electromechanical endurance, waterproof ball switches. The CPI J4… Continue reading You Can Have a Ball With Our Waterproof Switches
Last year we discussed CPI sensor solutions for Oilfield hydraulic accumulators and cylinders, but in the fast-paced world of oilfield engineering, that was a long time ago. For instance in 2016, CPI didn’t have a fully subsea capable (qualified to… Continue reading Marine Riser and Tensioner System Hydraulics – Revisited.
Hydraulic Multipliers see use in a wide variety of industrial equipment as a cost effective way of driving multiple actuators from a single hydraulic circuit. These systems typically allow the operator to manually activate a conveniently mounted switch which controls… Continue reading CPI Limit Switches in Hydraulic Multiplier Applications.
If you’ve spent more than 5 seconds perusing the CPI Website, then you know that toughness and durability are the primary attributes of everything we make. Nowhere is this more apparent than in our newest SL2000MS, our hybrid design, long… Continue reading CPI Internal Draw Wire Position Sensors Replace External Sensors in Oilfield Mast Raiser System.
The world is full of companies that make a conscious choice to focus on quality and engineering excellence, as opposed to mass producing low cost high quantity commodity goods. Control Products is no exception. CPI decided as a fundamental business… Continue reading Thoughts on Quality – When Cheap is Just Another Kind of Expensive.
In vehicles requiring added stability during operation such as cranes, bucket trucks, backhoe’s, fire trucks, and all kinds of powered lifts, it is common to use an outrigger mechanism. Typically, hydraulic, outriggers can provide additional “legs” to a vehicle, making… Continue reading CPI Switches Won’t Kick The Bucket On Bucket Trucks
Like so many other manufacturing and production industries, automation has become a key part of the economical growth and harvest of agriculture across the United States. Essential to this growth are the large sprayers used to spread fertilizer and crop… Continue reading Industrial Farm Equipment Looks To CPI Ball Switches
Hi Everyone, Just a quick note that CPI is excited to be at CONEXPO in Las Vegas this week to meet our friends old and new and talk about all things switches and sensors. We’ll be at Booth S83809 on… Continue reading Meet CPI at CONEXPO Booth S83809
Lets face it… electronic stuff packed away in some cramped, poorly ventilated enclosure can get hot. Really hot. And CPI thermal switches are one of the planet’s best solutions to monitoring and shutting down hot equipment in remote places before… Continue reading CPI Thermal Switches Don’t Need to Come In From The Cold…
