Increased Throughput and Machining Capability

Applied Physics Electronics, LC (APELC), a leading pulsed power company, is investing in advanced manufacturing capabilities, spurred by the growing demand for quick-disconnect/connect connectors.

The company’s manufacturing capabilities have been upgraded to meet production-level shop standards: it is now capable of producing up to 200 connectors per week, among other pulsed power products. This increase in machine capability will enable APELC to meet the demand for high-quality connectors, while maintaining its commitment to timely delivery.

Connectors are a critical component for applications in the aerospace, defence and energy markets. The reliability and durability of these connectors are crucial to ensure proper functioning of equipment in critical applications, such as particle accelerators, directed energy, and fusion energy systems. Dedicated specialised equipment enables APELC to inspect large volumes of parts with very high accuracy and throughput, ensuring a high-quality end product that meets exact project specifications.
