SANTA CLARA, CA– Power Design Services has opened Power Design Manufacturing that provides prototype and small-volume manufacturing of PCB assemblies, prototype board layout and prototype board assembly. Located near the Silicon Valley, the site provides on-site consultation and expertise, as well as turnkey capabilities–from the initial design to prototype board layout and PCB assembly.
 
“Our new facility demonstrates our commitment and focus on offering world-class printed circuit board assembly and manufacturing services for small-volume orders,” explains Tuan Tran, president of Power Design Services.

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.
