A new range of highly responsive pulse-type and bus-type servo drive systems, the MEAN WELL MD-730 series, has arrived at MEAN WELL. The MD-730 series provides an incredibly responsive 2kHz bandwidth, enabling production motors to respond quickly and seamlessly to control commands. This high degree of motor responsiveness stems from higher-performance main control chips paired with EtherCat and MODBUS communication capabilities. These servo drives support 200W, 400W, and 750W servo drive motors, providing excellent performance for standard applications in 3C, battery, packaging, and

The IOB-05/15 series is the latest in miniaturised AC-DC on-board type power supply modules from MEAN WELL.

MEAN WELL Australia now features a new range of PIR motion sensors, the DLS-2XX series.

The latest from MEAN WELL is the ES-SU/TU Uninterruptible Power Supply range.

The MEAN WELL range expands to include a range of accessories for installing power supplies with the PowerNex range. The PowerNex range includes electrical enclosure cabinets, DC-powered fans, connectors, and more.

The latest addition to MEAN WELL is the PV solar range, featuring two distinct variations: the PV-PFSP200 Foldable solar panels and the PV-SST-630 Bifacial solar panels.

The new MEAN WELL NSP series delivers on performance and efficiency, whilst ensuring that your product's enclosure takes up minimal real estate.

The PV-SMI micro-inverters support two to four photovoltaic input channels with a maximum input power of up to 750W per channel. Each PV-SMI features Maximum Power Point Tracking, MPPT technology and can achieve up to 99.5% efficiency, ensuring each panel can achieve its individual maximum energy yield, even when complex lighting conditions across the array.

MEAN WELL recently launched a new generation of isolated regulated DC-DC converters featuring a broader and standardised input ranges between 9VDC to 75VDC.

From a power supply point of view, the PSU cooling method is a factor that makes or breaks a system in specialised environments. Fanned power supplies, although a typical cooling method, may, however, inadvertently suck moisture and dust into an enclosure. This can negatively impact the power supply's efficiency, generate noise and potentially leading to premature failure.
