Industrial vacuum cleaners
We have been working with industrial vacuum cleaner manufacturers and power tool manufacturers for many years. During this time, we have accumulated a lot of experience and specific knowledge in this area.
Some of the things to consider when designing electronics for vacuum cleaners and dust extractors:
- There will be a lot of electrostatics. Start thinking about this before you start designing. If possible, solve most of the problems at the mechanical design stage.
- Long cables work as antennas. If they exist, be prepared to solve electromagnetic compatibility problems. Allow time for this in your project planning.
- Think about the board's operating temperature. Consider the amount of cooling air.
- If a universal motor is used, you will have to calibrate the vacuum cleaner's electronics for it. This will most likely be done after the device is half-assembled. Include a calibration mechanism.
- If the vacuum cleaner runs on batteries, carefully study the battery’s schematic and the manufacturers' requirements. Check if the connection diagram you are targeting is possible.
- Pressure sensors change their characteristics as the temperature rises. Include a mechanism for their periodic calibration.
