493K Uses RobotGeek Relays for Rotational Molding Success! Posted: 16 Oct 2014 08:02 AM PDT 493K has been working in the rotational molding industry since 2003. For a recent demonstration as the 2014 Rotoplas Exposition, 493K used several RobotGeek Relays mounted to a RobotGeek workbench. The RobotGeek system allowed 493K to quickly and easily prototype their system Gareth McDowell of 493K said “Trossen Robotics helped make our K-KREATOR rotomoulding machine a success at the ARM show in Chicago; their valuable input and advice allowed us to demonstrate the full capacity of our kit. Thanks to Kyle for his energy and willingness to help”. We look forward to working with 493K in the future!

The transistor lat as SCR trigger Posted: 22 Dec 2014 12:25 AM PST This circuit works similar to a SCR. When the trigger input is high, Both transistors Q2(PNP transistors) and Q1(PNP transistor) will work. Therefore, a current flow to the base pin of Q2, it has voltage 0.7 volts at resistor R1. When cutting the activation voltage, the transistors can continue to perform, because the base current. […]
