CPI’s X1 thermal switch is being increasingly used by both American and European avionics manufacturers and integrators as their thermal switch of choice for spot detection of overtemperature conditions in systems throughout the aircraft. Recent integrations include FAA approval as a Fenwal… Continue reading Thermal Sensing for Avionics
In one of the largest non-combat ship procurements since WWII, Canadian shipbuilder SEASPAN was chosen to be Canada’s primary contractor for the Joint Support Ships (JSS) being built for the Royal Canadian Navy. These purpose-built, multi-role vessels are tasked with… Continue reading CPI Waterproof Limit Switches – a Better Proximity Switch
We spend a lot of time on this blog talking about how you can’t kill our waterproof switches and how the navy, and commercial marine industries come to us for their most demanding and critical waterproof control sensing applications. But… Continue reading Waterproof Switches for Recreational Watercraft
Commercial boats face tough challenges every day. Whether they be fishing boats, commercial tugboats or cargo boats, this is not your lakeside motorboat environment. That’s why commercial boat manufacturers aren’t interested in messing around with the reliability or operational toughness… Continue reading Commercial Boats Use CPI Waterproof Limit Switches
In a past life I was privileged to work on the very first fly-by-wire system used on the F16. This was the first system of its type used in an operational jet fighter utilizing a quad redundant custom designed CPU… Continue reading Thermal Switches for Military and Commercial Jets
Actually CPI is not new to the recreational vehicle market. A long time ago, some smart engineer working for a boat manufacturer realized that a completely sealed waterproof switch with dozens of mounting options that was good enough for the US military,… Continue reading Recreational Vehicles Discover CPI
If there is one thing you can say about our Thermal and Waterproof Switch product lines, it may be that they are not Johnny-come-lately technologies. CPI has been researching, developing, tweaking, USA manufacturing, and cost reducing these products for over… Continue reading US Military Using CPI Switches for Next-Gen Vehicles and Weapon Systems
Hydraulic Position Sensing for Oil & Gas Recovery Applications Hydraulic cylinders deployed into drilling platforms such as land-based mast raiser systems are used for oil and gas recovery in a wide variety of fixed and mobile configurations. The hydraulic cylinders… Continue reading Rig & Mast Raiser Hydraulics
One of the more creative uses of CPI waterproof limit switches is their use as position sensors on a wide variety of both manually operated, and servomotor control valves. These valves may be used to regulate the flow of everything… Continue reading Valve position Sensing with CPI Switches
In the old days of manual stick shifts, attemps to start a vehicle when the car was not in neutral provided some serious kinetic feedback in the form of a lurch forward or backward. It is not hard to imagine… Continue reading Neutral Safety Detection was Made for Our Hardened Ball Switch
