The Solution
Key Aspects of the Solution
- Introducing compact AC sources for production line with high quality output waveform.
- Identifying and remediating issues improved the production throughput and the product quality.
Compact size AC source that provides high quality output waveform.
After failing to find suitable AC sources despite Mr. C’s efforts, he consulted an engineer he had known, who told him about the equipment he was using. Mr. C learned of a Japanese manufacturer of power supplies and test instruments, Kikusui Electronics Corp., which provides compact AC source with high quality. It was sufficient enough for him to contact with the Kikusui. Based on current issues that the company J had been facing, compact AC source, PCR-MA Series was what Kikusui sales recommended him.
The PCR-MA Series has feature of compact size suitable to be built in the production line while enabling the output up to 4kW.
The PCR-MA Series comes with LAN interface as standard as well as USB interface, that supports future automation progress.
What interested Mr. C was the output waveform of the PCR-MA Series. Mr. C saw some captured waveform provided from Kikusui for reference, and recognized it so fine.
Remediating the issues improved the production throughput and the product quality.
Kikusui offered a demonstration model on loan. Mr. C and his company evaluated the PCR-MA and confirmed its fine waveform. The waveform quality was so high that the company J could see the possibility to improve the throughput. Mr. C decided to introduce the PCR-MA to be installed in the production line to achieve an increase in the production capacity, after realizing the advances of the PCR-MA. The new production line with the PCR-MA could improve production throughput and the quality that contributes to increase customer satisfaction with our products. Mr. C said, “The PCR-MA made me recognized the importance of AC source, voltage events interrupt sensitive processes, shorten the useful life of equipment and cause computer and communications problems.” Mr. C realized a tip from the engineer who told him about Kikusui as the best advice to solve the issues.
Company J realized the satisfactory performance in Kikusui’s products and they are scheduling to introduce other equipment such as power supplies and test instruments as well.
