Research and development are at the heart of PDL Electronics' commitment to providing ground-breaking technology in AC motor controls. Design standards keep projects focussed and regular design reviews monitor progress. For ground-breaking designs, field trials are a regular occurrence to ensure functionality in the user environment. Selected customers are targeted to trial prototype units and their experience, along with that gained in field trials, is used to fine-tune designs before further testing takes place. In this way, all of PDL Electronics' products are a direct response to user requirements.
Research is continuous.
New and emerging technologies are explored to attain the maximum value for users in industry . . . The latest surface-mount technology and testing equipment is just one way in which PDL Electronics leads the way in manufacturing expertise. All effort is made to acquire the latest manufacturing equipment to ensure the manufacturing process is continually improved. A number of semi-automatic placement machines are individually programmed for the manufacture of printed circuit boards. Automatic flow-soldering ensures uniform high quality in all boards.
