PHELPS, NY– Z-AXIS recently won a contract to design an electronic controller board for Qualitrol Corporation. The PCB will be used in Qualitrol’s monitoring systems for the electrical utilities industry, specifically in instruments that monitor electrical apparatus in power distribution substations. Z-AXIS’ design for the microprocessor-based programmable controller will be more compact, energy-efficient and cost less than the existing designs. “Z-AXIS impressed us with their flexibility to work on fast-track projects, their knowledge of electronic system design and their reputation for creating high-reliability industrial products,” says Bob Taylor, senior mechanical engineer at Qualitrol.

Printing Screens Revisited
Research continues on improving printed frontside silver conductor line efficiency.A simple Internet search will reveal the photovoltaic industry is working hard on higher aspect ratio frontside conductor grids as a route to greater solar cell efficiencies. This is because the conductors, typically screen-printed on a cell’s frontside, block sunlight from reaching the energy converting strata below, and the narrower they are, the less shadow they cast. However, as it is essential they...
