We are able to make reliable technology, because visa has its own clean room

Chip manufacturing at Vaisala

Reliable technology helps to create instruments can tolerate bad environment.In order to maintain our customer interests in the daily operation, the instrument must have longer service life and no maintenance.This example will lead us to learn to build reliable on-line DGA monitoring system behind the story.

Full quality control, can be customized

We are able to make reliable technology, because have their own clean room (our) chip was born in this, the robot automatic assembly plant, technology can be traced back to the 1980 s, and with Finland technology research center (VTT) for further r&d collaboration.In fact, it also has given rise to Finland the silicon industry most of the market.

Unique customer group always put forward higher request to us, make our efforts to improve the level of customization.In order to meet this demand, we must realize the complete control over the manufacturing quality, gradually get rid of the foreign purchase chip and others rely on professional knowledge.From this perspective, the establishment of our own clean room and focus on the micron scale manufacturing or micro technology is an inevitable stage of development, which has given rise to film and other important components, these components make up the core part of numerous visa pull sensor, and in all the previously mentioned the same clean room in r&d and manufacturing.

Micro technology to run the DGA monitoring system

Precision processing have made it possible to create new technology, Optimus OPT100 DGA on-line monitoring system is one of the typical example.The monitoring system to the existing way of dissolved gas in transformer oil monitoring.This amazing reliable technology can realize continuous monitoring of power transformer, to provide you with reading and the trend of the seven main fault gases, this trend can be indication of the serious error.Make the DGA monitoring system to run, is three amazing micro technology.

Precious part - - perot interferometer method.With may be adjusted in different wavelength of light beam of the filter, stable, simple and reliable.This adjustment ability to make the visa to pull measuring a variety of gas monitoring system can accurately and reliably and is also measurable seven kinds of fault gas Optimus OPT100 advantage lies.

Light source - our micro glow.Micro small glow light source and production are optimized for robot, is to make the Optimus to run another important component of success.It USES silicon micro mechanical components, rather than the ordinary light bulb, which makes it significantly extend the service life, and not happen the old light facing the performance decline gradually.The service life of micro glow has been repeated verification, and accepted the above general working temperature environment test, the heat of the number of baidu it passed the test with good grades.

Sensors - applies to all chip airtight packaging.It will be method in - perot interferometer, micro glow lamp and the thermopile detector connected to the rest of the optical devices and instruments, can guarantee the reliable operation of the decades.

conclusion

If we don't have chip manufacture in our own hands, all of this is likely to become a reality.In our own factory manufacturing chip means to realize complete control over the quality, and won't be completely third-party chip maker of uncontrollable factors.

Because it is based on science and make necessary part of a reliable technology, thus related process continuously optimized.The final result?We have the ability to provide optimized small batch products and high manufacturing capacity.Create products that meet the needs of customers, accord with the requirement of their number, quality worthy of their trust, can stable operation for decades.


Make the light source of long life

In optical DGA, light source is very important.Due to the more traditional light source will achieve the service life of the upper limit, in just a few years later, because of the light bulb performance degradation, the instrument will start to drift, but visa micro glow light source would not be so.Based on miniaturization chip technology, their operating life for decades.In fact, Optimus OPT100 DGA monitoring system can protect you until we run out almost the entire operating life of power transformer, without having to replace the light source, to benefit from the light source.
