3D printing systems must be thermally protected to ensure production of high-quality printed parts and long operational lifetime. UltraTEC™ UTX thermoelectric coolers in an ambient liquid loop provide a cost-effective solution for spot cooling of system components while Nextreme™ Recirculating Chillers deliver precise temperature control for all parts of the 3D printing machine.
Machine Vision enables advanced manufacturing inspection, object and facial recognition by utilizing image-processing and pattern-recognition techniques. Sensitive electronics and imaging sensors require precise temperature control to ensure the capturing of high-resolution images.
Infrared Range (IR) sensors are used in a variety of applications, including temperature sensing, video surveillance and motion detection. The video surveillance market utilizes infrared sensing technology for motion-based detection to improve facility security at night. Thermal cameras utilizing IR technology help airport staff quickly screen passengers to detect fever. Most recently, infrared range sensors are used to detect people’s body temperatures as a security and safety measure in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.
Within industrial processing, laser diodes are bundled together to form a high-power laser that can cut thru materials. Laser diodes are also used in light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology used, for example, to map the area surrounding an autonomous vehicle.
The ETX14-12-F1-6262-TA-RT-W6 high temperature, high-performance thermoelectric cooler uses Laird's enhanced thermoelectric module construction preventing performance degrading copper diffusion, which is common in standard grade thermoelectric coolers operating in high temperature environments exceeding 80 °C. It has a maximum Qc of 138 Watts when ΔT = 0 and a maximum ΔT of 83.2 °C at Qc = 0.
