Power Electronics
Performance and energy efficiency for your products
Why Power Electronics?
No control system can do without power electronics. It is a central component in the control of consumers, in energy generation, but also in the energy-efficient design of devices. Modern electronic components are used to control motors and actuators. Advanced feed-in devices and converters are used in distributed, renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics or small power plants.
When using modern battery technology, sophisticated battery management systems are used to operate the energy storage devices in a long-lasting and gentle manner. When processing large amounts of energy, safety in the sense of security must never be neglected. Experienced developers are needed for all these challenging topics.
Electronics with Maximum Efficiency
- We realize Green Embedded Systems.
- We optimize battery management for low-power designs.
- Using our know-how to safely switch large powers in power distribution systems.
- We develop efficient controls from piezo drives to synchronous motors.
Ginzinger Power Electronics Know-How
Motor Control
The spectrum of electronic controls is as diverse as the world of motors. The aim is always to convert electrical energy efficiently and precisely into motion. We at Ginzinger have implemented control systems for a wide variety of actuators. From piezoelectric surgical knives to high-speed spindles for milling machines.
Battery Powered Systems
Mobile devices and devices distributed in the field must operate independently of the power grid. The electronics must be designed to be as energy-efficient as possible. The software must also support different power-saving modes. Ginzinger realizes devices that can be operated for many years without changing batteries.
Lighting Systems
From energy-saving control of sodium vapor lamps in tunnel construction to LED lighting in dentist's drills. Ginzinger Elektronik always puts your application in the right light. We have many years of experience with the handling and control of different illuminants.
Control and Regulation Technology
Real time and precision
Why Control and Regulation Technology?
Controls provide for automated processes and are mostly realized with real-time capable embedded hardware and software. Analog and digital inputs are processed and setpoints for actuators are calculated and output as suitable manipulated variables in precisely defined time sequences. In the case of closed-loop control, the actual values achieved in the process are also measured and the reference variables are automatically readjusted until the desired final value is reached. Due to the permanent feedback, closed-loop controls ensure that the process variables are reached and maintained exactly, quickly and with high quality, even under the influence of disturbances.
In control engineering, extensive know-how about dynamic, physical processes, about the behavior of controls in the time and frequency range, measurement technology, as well as methodological knowledge for optimization is necessary.
Precise Control of Physical Processes
- We develop programmable controllers for many applications.
- We analyze and optimize complex, dynamic controls.
- We simulate and design control loops.
- We bring many years of experience in system design and optimization.
