Military hardware never stops evolving, because threats never stop evolving. Yet proven technology like CPI thermal and waterproof switches continue to be designed into modern hardware. It comes back to survivability and endurance, and we pretty much own that. Whether… Continue reading CPI Switches Help Military Vehicles Survive
In the world of work trucks, there are literally hundreds of applications for lifts of some kind. These can be either hydraulic or electric and can be found on everything from your commonly used forklift, to scissor lifts, to liftgates… Continue reading CPI is Giving Work Trucks a Lift
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
