Filters block out electromagnetic interference that can lead to machine, data disruptions
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters Designed for any equipment that uses controlled parameters, automation or motion control, OnFilter’s products reduce EMI, which can cause process variations, false readings and even equipment stoppages. The filters reduce EMI caused by servo motors, variable-frequency drives and switched-mode power supplies, and reduce EMI on DC and AC power to tools or throughout a facility.
What’s new? A portfolio of DIN rail-mounted filters, covering a wide range of applications. They include filters dealing with AC and DC power; ground, servo, stepper and variable-frequency drives and motors; and data. The company displayed its product to plastics parts makers, including those from the automotive and medical sectors, at Automate 2022.
Benefits The ability to install the filters on DIN rails. Previously, OnFilter’s products could only be installed as stand-alone or panel-mounted units. The maintenance-free products require no changes in the process or in the software. OnFilter’s entire portfolio substantially reduces high-frequency “noise” that can cause errors in sensors that track conditions such as temperature and pressure. By doing so, the filters optimize sensor-data quality, and improve power, processing and signal quality for all equipment.
