LCR-Reader To Be Presented at Produktronika in Munich by German KIT and Bokar International From the USA
Munich, Germany (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- After more than a year of research and development and a few months of debugging and fine-tuning, the new member of the Smart Tweezers family, the LCR-Reader was released in September.
The first few batches of LCR-Readers have been recently shipped to Bokar International in the USA, VanDevice Ltd. in Japan, Sanata-Tech in Russia, and Advance Tech in India.
“We are not sure how popular the new device will be,” says Czes Rusowsky, the CEO at Bokar International. “It is always hard to predict the market. But we are hearing good responses from our European distributors and therefore we are going to present LCR-Reader at Produktronika in Munich in November. Meet us at KIT Kroschewski Industrie Technik GmbH Booth number 532, Hall A4, Messe München, to see a quick LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers ST-5 Demo.”
LCR-Reader is the latest device in Smart Tweezers family of LCR-meters. The new design has a record low weight and size, as well as low price at the same time. This new model maximizes operation simplicity and ease-of-use; complimented with an affordable price while still keeping high basic accuracy of about 1%.
LCR-Reader Feature Summary:
- Automatic LCR and ESR measurement
- Basic accuracy of 1%
- Best range selection
- Li-Ion battery with a micro-USB connector
- About 1 Oz weight
LCR-Reader is not replacing Smart Tweezers ST5 which still remains the model of choice for professionals. Unlike LCR-Reader, the ST5 is supplied with a Calibration Certificate traceable to National Institute of Standards required by all major electronic companies. Besides, ST5 has a significantly higher accuracy of about 0.2% and various features that are not available on the LCR-Reader.
The following ST5 features are unavailable in LCR-Reader:
- Component Sorting
- Automatic offset adjustment
- Open Circuit/ Continuity/ Diode/ test
"We are very happy with the LCR-Reader performance and affordability. We hope that the new device will be the LCR-meter of choice for regular consumers" says Michael Obrecht, Director of Research and Development at Siborg Systems Inc. "Therefore we optimized the design to ensure high measurement accuracy and low manufacturing cost before starting production of this device. We have achieved the basic accuracy of 1% while still keeping its suggested retail price below $200 mark."
