Lamination is a common technique used as a way of preserving important documents and papers, such as certificates, photographs, safety instructions, and more. While non-paper items, surfaces, and many other products can also be laminated, protecting and embellishing key documents for presentation or display purposes serve as the most popular use of machine laminators. In this blog, we will cover the versatility of such apparatuses, so you can better understand how they are used in everyday scenarios.

In homes, schools, and offices, lamination generally consists of attaching a fixed plastic wrapper or cover to a particular item or paperwork. This is usually done to safeguard it against damage, ensuring that it remains in good condition for as long as possible. The resulting plastic coat or film encapsulating the document can also help enhance colors and improve the overall presentability. More than that, lamination provides a clean surface that can be temporarily marked up with dry-erase markers. Read more >>

Various industries, as well as basic daily devices, often rely on the use of electricity for operations. As most electronic devices are not intended for around-the-clock use, many are equipped with components used for halting the current. Considered a special type of relay, a contactor is a device used in electrical devices to switch the circuit on or off. When you are looking to control applications with high current carrying capacity, consider including a contactor in your circuit. Read more >>

With various types of moving machinery, an undesirable byproduct of operation is vibration. Whether big or small, vibration can lead to noise, the loosening of fasteners, performance losses, and much more. To deter vibration and any resulting noise, many applications will utilize what are known as anti-vibration mounts which can be fastened to assemblies with ease. In this blog, we will discuss anti-vibration mounts in more detail, allowing you to have a better understanding of how they work and their importance. Read more >>

Fiber optics are powerful communication devices, capable of transmitting data over great distances in the form of light. While the signal power and speed of fiber optic signals is an advantage that allows for easy long distance communications, there can sometimes be instances where a signal can be too strong and requires weakening before it overloads a receiver. With devices known as fiber optic attenuators, or optical attenuators, optical signal power may be reduced in a free space or within a fiber. Read more >>

A pressure transducer is a device used to measure the pressure of a fluid by indicating the force the fluid is exerting on surfaces it comes in contact with. Pressure transducers are used in a broad range of control and monitoring applications including flow, air speed, level, pump systems, and altitude. To calculate pressure, pressure transducers consist of a force collector, such as a flexible diaphragm, which deforms when pressurized, and a transduction element that converts this deformation into an electrical signal.
