Car Black Box Auxiliary Battery

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiryLee, Heung-bok, CEO of THINKWARE recently announced that the company was launched iVolt Connected, a new auxiliary battery for black boxes.
iVolt Connected features sharing of real-time battery information via iVolt app installed on a smartphone that enables real-time monitoring of battery running state, I/O voltage, temperature, and the time remaining for battery discharge even outside of the vehicle.
When iNavi QXD1000 Alpha black box is installed alongside, it can also monitor black box information such as motion and impact detection in real time. The launch of new models connectable to black boxes is scheduled in the future.
iVolt Connected is made by using lithium iron phosphate which is a stable, environmentally friendly battery with a lifespan more than three times longer than conventional lithium, ion, and nickel-based batteries, as well as has excellent stability against fire and explosion.
And the circuit design for safety has secured both performance and safety by preventing overcharging and overdischarge and with a protection circuit for battery cell balance.
In the meantime, a built-in intelligent battery sensor stops the generator when the battery is considered properly charged while taking account of the voltage, current, and temperature, allowing efficient use of the vehicle battery.
Other functions include the automatic temperature control to automatically shut off the power to protect the connected black box when the battery temperature exceeds 80 degrees C while charging. It also features a quick charge function for the battery to last up to 32 hours with about one-hour charging. An extended battery can last up to 64 hours.
“The iVolt Connected is a product for drivers who worry about battery discharge when parking for a long time for it allows real-time monitoring of the battery status by using a smartphone. Thus, it is expected to broaden the use of black boxes through the Connected function and a stable power supply,” explained the THINKWARE representative.

Centrifugal Finishing Machine

The high-speed barrel machine is driven by centrifugal force. Four hexagonal barrels are attached to the rotary plate and the barrel are rotated in the opposite direction when the turret rotates at high RPM in one direction. Closed barrels containing parts, media, water and compounds are fixed to a turret and these all together create an extremely powerful tumbling action by centrifugal force.

 

Vibratory Finishing Machine

This equipment is driven by a power vibratory motor cause 3D vibration inside the tub. The power vibration makes vertical and horizontal torque among workpieces and media and it results in finishing the external surface of workpieces.

Centrifugal Disc Machine

The centrifugal disc machine uses a concave disc positioned at the bottom of a round work chamber to create powerful vortex action. When a concave disc rotates by the centrifugal force, the disc forces the parts and media mass outward and upward where it encounters the side fixed-walls of the chamber. The side fixed-walls work as a brake causing the media mass to tumble back down inward. The result is a powerful sliding and breakdowns caused by stuck parts and media in the gap between the side walls and the disc. Our centrifugal disc machine however have overcome the limitations and reduced breakdowns.
