Form-in-place gaskets shut out interference
Altocad is a fully automated form-in-place technology from Laird Technologies that provides large (or small) quantities of EMI gaskets at reasonable cost.
The online tool is ideal for design engineers as users can configure Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gaskets using drop-down menus and then immediately download a CAD file.
The tool ties directly into the company's "EMI essentials" catalogue, and so users have access to many of the standard Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gaskets listed.
The tool also allows customers the capability to request a quote for any Fabric-over-Foam EMI shielding gasket that is configured and downloaded.
"One of the great things about this web-based tool is that it eliminates the time-consuming process of searching through a paper catalogue for the correct part number and then modelling the identified part from scratch", says Sean Honer, Fabric-over-Foam Product Manager.
"The tool streamlines a process that used to take one to two hours down to a few minutes, allowing the design engineer and customer to complete their designs faster".
Customers worldwide have access to the online tool and can configure the parts in either metric or Imperial measurements.
The tool is available now on the Laird Technologies website.
