Putting a precision linear sensor into a subsea environment is one of the most difficult challenges in the sensing world. Sensors produce signals and they are inherently electronics-based devices. Liquid immersion is the enemy of all things electronic, including conductors,… Continue reading Precision Under Pressure: Subsea Linear Sensors and their Engineering
To understand the unique product line that has evolved at CPI you’d have to understand the history under which that happened. Like many US companies, CPI has a rich and long history which we are proud of and which informs… Continue reading CPI History is a USA Success Story
In the movie “Oppenheimer” one of the key plot points is the discussion of the development of the hydrogen bomb vs. the original atomic bomb. While the atomic bomb operates on nuclear fission, the hydrogen bomb is both a fission… Continue reading What “Oppenheimer” Missed about Hydrogen
CPI – Keeping Military Personnel Safe for almost 80 Years Unless you are a rabid CPI company history buff, (like us) you may not know that CPI’s original switch parts developed back in 1946, were thermal switches designed for transport… Continue reading CPI Military Switching Products
Outdoor environments or other harsh duty deployments may test the durability and reliability of many types of typical “proximity switches.” In everything from roller coasters to work trucks there are many moving mechanical parts and assemblies, it is important to… Continue reading Waterproof Limit Switches for Position Detection
Perhaps it would be fair to say that only us engineering types might find this statement true at face value. After all, CPI switches once you really understand the design and engineering that has gone into them, conjure a certain… Continue reading CPI Switches are a Big Turn-On
The safety and redundancy requirements of modern aircraft are one of the many area’s that drive the use of advanced mechanical thermal switches like CPI Thermals. It turns out that while cheap sensors and microcontrollers are a fair solution to… Continue reading Thermals for Avionic Applications
As warm weather approaches, our thoughts turn longingly to sunny days on the beach, the sounds of burgers sizzling on the grill, kids splashing from the pool and of course, the ubiquitous sound of lawn mowers and weed-wackers playing an… Continue reading Turf Equipment is our Turf
It turns out that there is a huge industry around the care and feeding of professional floor cleaning equipment and services. When it is your job to clean and disinfect a 5000 square foot factory floor, working garage, clean room,… Continue reading Industrial Cleaning Applications for CPI Waterproof Switches.
There’s a reason why CPI Thermals feature so highly in so many Google search results for thermal switches. It seems even the artificially intelligent Google algorithm, has figured out that there aren’t many better results for “high temperature switches” or… Continue reading Versatile CPI Thermals Rack Up Design-In’s
