Solenoids Help Control Injection Molding
A manufacturer of foam injection molding machines needed to refine their product to better suit a client that made seats for automotive OEMS. TLX engineers designed a custom latching solenoid that operated in high temperatures and provided the precise control required for the molding process.
A Challenge to Durable Solenoid Design
TLX was approached with an application that called for a solenoid valve to operate while completely submerged in the hot automatic transmission fluid of an all-terrain vehicle...Easy right? Well, our engineers were up for the challenge.
PWM and Emissions Control
TLX Technologies developed a pulse-width-modulated proportional canister purge valve for a vehicle’s EVAP system.
Improving Oil Change Efficiency with Solenoids
This latching solenoid provided precise control over the amount of oil dispensed by an oil dispensing meter without any waste.
Improving the Delivery of Fire-Extinguishing Media
TLX designed a fast, high-latching force component to replace pyrotechnic burst devices in fire suppression applications
Controlling Airbags with Solenoids
A manual reset latching solenoid was used to in order to control airbag inflation based on variables programmed into the system that determined the severity of the accident.
Using Solenoids to Increase Safety in Hybrid Cars
A manufacturer sought a solution for disconnecting the battery of a hybrid car during an accident, without the possibility of the battery connecting again. TLX designed a custom latching solenoid that used residual magnetism instead of a permanent magnet; meaning once the solenoid unlatched, it would not re-latch without applying power.
Improving Welding Clamps with Latching Technology
A manufacturer needed to replace the pneumatically powered clamps that held material for welding. A custom latching solenoid provided both the locking and latching functions the manufacturer required. Permanent magnets latched the solenoids in a retracted position without consuming power.
Achieve Immediate Response in a Fault-Interrupting Device
These large latching solenoids with high latching force were designed for a manufacturer of high voltage power distribution equipment to disconnect power quickly to prevent equipment damage.
