MENTOR’s R&D guys always complain that they are too busy to take-on any more customer-specific projects (but they always do)! I don’t reckon they can be that busy because in their “spare time” they have come up with two very interesting light guide developments, namely corona and contour light guides. If I told you more I would have to shoot you but I am allowed to show you these images.
MENTOR had a busy time at last week’s Light+Building exhibition in Frankfurt and I was there to support during the first two days of the show.
MENTOR will again be exhibiting at Frankfurt’s International Light & Building Exhibition 30 March to 4 April 2014. Do visit their stand G20 in Hall 4 to learn more about MENTOR’s unique competencies in the management of light.
This is a short 1m 47 sec video detailing MENTOR’s near 100 year legacy and its unique competencies in many areas of electronic components, especially opto. It is a trailer for the full movie which runs for 11m 11 secs. We did warn you (!) but actually it does a good job of explaining what MENTOR is all about.
Iluminated switch caps??! What are they and what can they do for my products? Check out this short video to understand the principles behind these innovative solutions. Then read here to learn more about the diverse options available, all as standard, low MOQ solutions.
I thought it worth reminding you about MENTOR’s 150mm long Ø3mm flexible light guide, since it always generates so much interest whenever I show a working demo to Design Engineers. Some see it as a useful workaround that could “get them out of a hole” when redesigning a product mid-life-cycle.
It was a bit of a strange Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Exhibition this year! Multitron were there supporting our sub-distributors Diamond and Foremost but on the first day it was a very frightening experience. The exhibition is held in a truly massive marquee construction (seems to be the size of Earls Court 2) and I wish it had been held there instead!
I have just returned from a visit to MENTOR’s Erkrath (near Dusseldorf) HQ and as always I left feeling enthused and genuinely proud to be associated with such a fine company. A superficial observation perhaps but wherever I went I saw smart, clean, modern and tidy Design and Admin offices, nothing ostentatious but clearly well-invested.
Moog GmbH manufactures servo controllers that really do need to be waterproof! We have just received this image showing a unit that has already been in use for a year underwater. Moog relies on the quality of MENTOR’s IP 68-rated 1282.# series light guides. You can too.
