CPI Helps Charging Stations Fulfill the Promise of Electric Vehicles It seems like every day that goes by, electric car charging stations are popping up in more and more places. So called EV stations (Electro-Voltaic), are on a mission to… Continue reading EV Charging Stations look to CPI Switches
Why the Military Trusts CPI Switches
Despite the economic roller coaster driving procurement and buying challenges around the globe, it turns out the defense of the nation is an area that can’t wait for an inconvenient pandemic to be over. Programs in the works for upgrades… Continue reading Why the Military Trusts CPI Switches
Plungers on Poles
Plungers On Poles. California is an amazing state in many ways. It is the 3rd largest state geographically, but number one by far in terms of population with over 40 million residents or about 12% of the US population. It… Continue reading Plungers on Poles
Now is the Time to Redesign Your Limit Switch Systems
Those of us who have been around for a while have developed a reflex when confronted with unexpected challenges in business: Find the opportunity in the challenge, and focus on it until better days arise. This is not to minimize… Continue reading Now is the Time to Redesign Your Limit Switch Systems
Hardened Switches, for Vehicle Safety
If you’re a piece of switching electronics then the hot, dirty, oily, always moving environment of a military vehicle transmission is not a place you’d prefer to find yourself. After all some of these transmissions are in constant aggressive use… Continue reading Hardened Switches, for Vehicle Safety
A Heavy Duty Limit Switch with a Simple Explanation.
Taken directly from a competitor’s website, is this description of their watertight limit switch “…have internal parts that are protected against splashing or hose-directed water seepage within the limits of the NEMA specified tests for type 4 watertight enclosures. These… Continue reading A Heavy Duty Limit Switch with a Simple Explanation.
J4 Ball Switch For Robust Position Sensing
For many applications, standard garden variety ball switches won’t cut it. In fact, even Google is confused about ball switches, conflating them with tilt switches that happen to use a floating ball in their implementation. But engineers know, that’s not… Continue reading J4 Ball Switch For Robust Position Sensing
CPI’s J4 Ball Switch – A Problem Solver for the Military and Beyond
Sometimes, the best engineering advances arise out of failure. To quote Thomas Edison “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work!” Indeed as one looks at the development history of CPI’s patented J4 ball switch, its… Continue reading CPI’s J4 Ball Switch – A Problem Solver for the Military and Beyond
J4 Ball Switch – A Study in Hardness & Durability
Sometimes in engineering design, you just get it right. The right combination of materials, simplicity and elegance. Just the right amount of cleverness. Sometimes it even looks pretty. Sure as time goes on you make tweaks here and there, but… Continue reading J4 Ball Switch – A Study in Hardness & Durability
