At CPI, we’ve been telling people for years about the robustness and reliability built into every USA designed and manufactured waterproof switch that we make. For applications from recreational vehicles, to advanced military and avionics applications, CPI switch hardware gets… Continue reading Military Grade Waterproof Switches
Two important considerations when looking at the integration of any hydraulic linear position sensor are the underlying technology and the packaging of the transducer. These principles effect size, life, maintainability, and above all, durability. The underlying technology used influences the… Continue reading When Old Technology Becomes New Again – Part II
Interestingly when one looks back at the history of hydraulic position sensing technology some of the earliest ideas from as far back as the 1950’s revolved around both potentiometer based implementations and draw wire systems. Potentiometer based systems with their… Continue reading When Old Technology Becomes New Again…
Almost every large commercial machine with an engine or motor of some sort has a system for monitoring temperature. Critical systems that are thermally controlled can be designed to shut down or throttle operation to prevent system failure or deliver… Continue reading Monitoring Equipment Temperature is a SnapStat with CPI Switches
If you work at TARDEC (the Tank and Automotive Research Development Center) you pretty much spend all day thinking about how to increase the survivability of ground vehicles during combat operations. In fact, the folks at TARDEC have created a… Continue reading When Smoking is a Good Thing
We’ve spoken in the past about the use of our limit switches as Dump Body position detection indicators, but recently this application was highlighted in a dramatically viral way. As Carlos Escobedo and his father were travelling down the East… Continue reading Dump Body Position Detection Gets National Attention
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
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
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
If your momentary switch application demands high performance, we think you should demand CPI. Please call us today to speak with our engineering team about your needs.
