Food Processing Equipment Runs Hot and Cold with our Limit Switches.
The mass production of food products is a fascinating business, requiring the specification of many different types of technology in many different operating environments. In some cases, massive amounts of raw food product has to be carefully cooked and packaged… Continue reading Food Processing Equipment Runs Hot and Cold with our Limit Switches.
For Everything But Cars, There’s CPI
In the “non-automotive vehicular” category, CPI switches have racked up hundreds of design-ins over the years. For sure, automakers could use our switches too but our reliability, durability and long life generally isn’t something they are willing to pay for.… Continue reading For Everything But Cars, There’s CPI
CPI 12 Volt Switches – An Enduring Legacy
For commercial applications of all kinds, switching 12 Volts is probably the most common bus voltage used with our sealed, waterproof limit switches. While CPI’s line of waterproof switches is rated to operate from 5V to 28V, 12 Volt applications… Continue reading CPI 12 Volt Switches – An Enduring Legacy
CPI – Helping Irrigate a Drier World
With a summer of record temperatures and unprecedented drought, the thoughts of many turn to irrigation systems and how to deploy them in a changing environmental landscape. Irrigation systems have evolved as key components of maintaining farm crops, preserving green spaces… Continue reading CPI – Helping Irrigate a Drier World
CPI Helps Lead the Wireless Charge
You can think of wireless vehicle charging as an enhanced version of wireless smartphone charging with one big difference: The power required to generate the required electric field is significantly higher. As the power goes up, a number of additional… Continue reading CPI Helps Lead the Wireless Charge
Thermal Sensing for Avionics
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
CPI Waterproof Limit Switches – a Better Proximity Switch
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
Waterproof Switches for Recreational Watercraft
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 Use CPI Waterproof Limit Switches
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
