Generally, audio crossover inductors are manufactured as air coils. There is no solid core material in the centre of an air coil’s winding, just air.
It is essential that an electronic component passes the testing stage if it is to be made for mass production. Using a system ensures that technical errors can be found and determines whether it meets quality compliance which reduces a customer’s risk of bringing a new product to market.
AGW developed and manufactured a range of model railway controllers soon after the company was established in 1975, due to the personal interest in model railways held by one of AGW’s founding partners George Wainwright. This product line survived for around 10 years before a decline in the model railway market caused manufacturing to cease.
We have enhanced our Partial Discharge (PD) testing services. Following a re-organisation, a room has been established which is dedicated to PD testing. This gives us a smart and clean environment that is exclusively used for testing.
Making young people aware of Engineering careers and beginning their education towards one is in potential decline.
I was recently sent an email which explained the paradox between the UK’s need for innovation in manufacturing and the lack of Design and Technology education in primary and secondary schools and it got me thinking about the importance of supporting the cause, as a Joint Director of a UK manufacturing company.
Here at AGW we have experienced an increase in interest and demand for flexible Rogowski coils, used in applications such as sensors in electrical protection systems and monitoring current in electricity sub-stations. Our winding technique used in manufacture means we have developed a successful technique to feed the finished end of the winding back through the centre of the flexible tube to meet the start of the winding.
Transformers and inductors seem very similar in a visual and construction sense. However, they have differing applications and have their own unique design and construction elements. Below is a brief summary about them both, which provides a little guidance to the differences.
As we pride ourselves on our customer service, check out our process below on how we keep you involved every step of the way.
We use speakers every day, you probably woke up to an alarm clock, you probably watched TV while eating your breakfast and you probably listened to the radio in your car on the way to work (you get the picture).
But have you ever stopped to wonder, "how do speakers work?" Well, wonder no more, we have the answer, in a rather colourful infographic.
