Customer Spotlight: Visualizing the Invisible – ETH Zurich’s Breakthrough in Geophysical Flow Research
Some of the most dramatic natural events on Earth, powder-snow avalanches, volcanic pyroclastic flows, and deep-sea turbidity currents, all fall under a category known as particle-laden gravity currents (PLGCs). Despite how common and impactful they are, these flows remain poorly understood, largely because they contain high concentrations of suspended particles that make the flow completely…

Success Stories – Custom DC Drives
When the specification gets tough, Mach Motion Products gets the call. We recently provided a DC drive that could accept a wide range of incoming DC power, then operated a traditional DC motor through two pre-programmed speeds as it operates a mechanism. The ability for us to program drive firmware allowed the customer to reduce his total component count,…

Success Stories – Variable Speed Fluid Pump
An industrial manufacturer that uses a precisely-controlled fluid pump was struggling with speed variations in their current system. They would adjust the drive to the correct speed before shipment, but since it was potentiometer controlled, temperature and time caused the speed to change. This of course changed performance on their system. Since they produced 6…
