VFD with RGB backlighting gives colour enhancement

Noritake released the GU140X16G-7042 with a very unique feature. Normally, VFD is a self-emitting display that never requires any backlighting system. But we found that adding this feature creates a new opportunity. Backlighting colours (red, blue, green and a combination) enhance the status of your system in STEADY mode or ALERT, etc. VFD's vivid brightness gives the operator the specific information with 2 x 20 characters, large fonts set or graphic. But colour backlighting will gives a great first impression.

Flange Weldments: Building Blocks of Motion

If you are designing a system to move, lift or even shake something; you must start by including TECOM Inc.'s Flange Weldments. They are composed of a standard combination bearing, welded to a steel mounting plate. The plate has both threaded and unthreaded holes for ease of installation. Bearing adjustment is accomplished using, easy‐to-install, 0.5mm and 1.0mm shims. Coupled with special heavy duty rails, TECOM Inc.'s Flange Weldments should be the starting point for all material handling systems. And both are stock items!
