Berkeley BX2 Controller Achieves Radiation Certification
BX2 Controller Meets Stringent Requirement of Medical Equipment
RICHMOND, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2004 -- Berkeley Process Control, Inc. of
Richmond, California announced today that its BX2 motion and machine controller
successfully passed stringent radiation testing requirements of a major medical
equipment manufacturer. The controller was exposed to 16,000 rads of x-ray/gamma
radiation, simulating several years of exposure, under conditions similar to
those around medical radiotherapy equipment. Additional testing with neutron
sources has confirmed that the BX2 controller has an extraordinarily
high-tolerance to radioactive environments.
“Successful radiation testing
is another measure of the durability and flexibility of the BX2 controller for
diverse environments spanning medical equipment and other industries,” according
to Lenson Wong, Director of Marketing. “The BX2 controller provides the leading
motion control technology with the reliability required for production equipment
environments.”
The BX2 is a highly integrated hardware and software
platform providing motion and I/O control of complex automated systems. The BX2
provides direct, single cable connections to high performance brushless servo
motors. Built-in advanced software provide comprehensive and intuitive system
diagnostic utilities. Features such as Autocalibration"R" technology greatly
reduce the effort to development, install and maintain complex
systems.
Berkeley Process Control, Inc. is a leading provider of flexible
automation solutions to the semiconductor, medical equipment, optical fiber and
other industries. Berkeley capabilities include multi-disciplinary engineering
expertise to deliver motion, process and turn-key machine solutions.
