Ideation Systems takes Levitators to Middle East
Infinity Physics, LLC (InfPhy) is pleased to announce our developing working relationship with Ideation Systems, LLC (IdeaSys). IdeaSys has standardized on InfPhy developed electromagnetic (EM) levitation coils for their PortaLab product line offerings. IdeaSys was impressed when comparing the InfPhy initial custom product offering to the system they had previously chosen. The InfPhy EM coil, fabricated on the InfPhy LMHS-10 series product, reduced the power requirements by 1/3, provided 6 times the operational levitation range, increased control sensitivity and accuracy by 200 times, decreased the control bandwidth by a factor of 10, and all at a price tag lower than the competing solution. InfPhy identified that further improvements in the prime mover can also be made over time.
The InfPhy team not only supports our customers’ requirements but in most cases we use our ingenuity and vast experience to far exceed our customers’ wishes often at a lowered or equivalent cost competitive range. The IdeaSys staff was so impressed by such quick improvements far beyond their original expectations that they headlined the InfPhy solution when detailing their PortaLAB product during their conference talk and corporate booth setup at the National Instruments (NI) Arabia Academic Day 2012 held in Beirut, Lebanon on May 17, 2012. Educators and corporations throughout the Middle East attend this conference.
Our organizations are already discussing how best InfPhy can support all IdeaSys current and future hardware and software products. The InfPhy team is excited to further this mutually beneficial corporate teaming agreement.
