Manufacturer Description
The Inheco TEC Control Shaker Interface is a high-performance hardware controller engineered to power, regulate, and monitor automated on-deck laboratory modules. Designed to maintain an ultra-low profile within high-throughput robotic platforms, this off-deck control unit combines a robust power delivery system with an advanced PID microcontroller. It is uniquely configured with an integrated Watlow digital interface for local operational management and diagnostic analysis, alongside an RS485 communication backbone for remote script integration. By isolating the high-current thermal and kinetic operations from the primary liquid-handling deck, this unit effectively minimizes heat contamination and mechanical vibrations, ensuring highly accurate, reproducible microplate environments.
Technical Specifications
- Brand: Inheco GmbH (Made in Germany)
- Part Number: 8900019
- Controller Type: High-precision PID Closed-Loop Tuning
- Local Interface: Front-Panel Watlow Digital Parameter Display
- Remote Communication: RS485 Serial Interface Protocol
- Output Rating: 12 VDC ± 20%, 8 Amps (Optimized for steady state thermal/shaker loads)
