Electronics Manufacturing

Tektronix has introduced the DPO718AX, the industry's first 8-channel oscilloscope offering more than 6 GHz of bandwidth per channel and up to 25 GHz of bandwidth across eight synchronized channels. It meets the demanding needs of engineers working in research, sensing, RF, and high-speed digital applications.

Most damage in modern electronics laboratories stems from two concurrent hazards: electrostatic leakage currents that can rupture the oxide layers of integrated circuits, and organic toxins contained in soldering fumes.

A bench DMM should be selected for its intended workflow: accuracy and visibility for R&D, repeatable throughput for QA, or reliable remote integration for ATE.

Low ripple and high accuracy solve different circuit-test risks: noise-sensitive work needs a clean output, while margin and tolerance tests depend on trustworthy setpoints.

An adjustable DC power supply should match the application’s voltage and current requirements, include suitable protection functions, and fit the existing test setup’s interface needs.

Torque-controlled assembly tools can help electronics manufacturers apply and document fastening requirements, verify bit selection, enforce sequences, and collect station-level process data.

In many real-world operational systems, clearly distinguishing between when to use mechanical gauges and when to employ handheld electronic measuring devices is a critical challenge for maintenance teams

The proliferation of non-linear loads such as variable frequency drives, rectifiers, induction furnaces, and LED lighting systems is making harmonic pollution a major headache for industrial plants.
