LPFK Protomat E44 for Rapid PCB Prototyping
The LPFK Protomat E44 PCB prototyping tool allows the user to test a circuit design before it is incorporated into a final product. It acts as a test board to determine whether the design will; be successful or not, you can also check performance, functionality of your design.
The main field of application of the E44 is milling structures in copper-coated circuit board material and has a spindle up to 40000rpm. This
equipment comes with a camera and software system which allows the user to programme and automate the system and receive data on the results of the test. Moreover, the E44 has the capacity to meet the requirements for a single and double-sided circuit boards.

Car Park System
The car park system is built in-house by our electrical and electronic engineering lecturers to help teach students about electronic systems.
The platform is built using a series of electronic systems that mimics the flow of traffic signal measurements and their sequential ordering. This equipment is used to help teach students about how to design an electronic system by using hardware, software and firmware.

Other Equipment
Electrical Machines Core System FB-60-070
This piece of equipment is used to teach our students the basic concept of electrical machines, motors and drives.
Based on this knowledge, students can determine which machines and motors are best suited for particular applications, how to generate power with minimum losses, and how electrical circuits behave at higher voltages and currents.
The process works by connecting a machine, motor or drive into the Electrical Machines Core System and running in the device through a computer software, this allows students to visualise the results from the electrical currents through data and graphs on the screen.
This will be essential in the future as global warming becomes more and more pertinent – understanding how to most efficiently build and apply machines and motors will mean saving energy and causing less damage to the environment.
