Services Overview

Pixus offers "complete know-how", from integrated subrack systems, to a range of enclosure solutions.  Operation, monitoring and controlling, power supply units, climate control, versatile selection of accessories, through to complete microcomputer packaging systems are among our extensive list of solutions.  There is a growing demand for "plug and play" integrated packaging solutions. Pixus can respond with standard off-the-shelf or custom integrated solutions with a wide range of components for telecommunications, IT, medical, automation and military applications.

Starting from a customer's requirements document, Pixus delivers working, fully tested backplanes and chassis. Supported by Staff Systems Engineers (SSEs) in the field, our experienced design managers walk the client through resolution of all issues related to CompactPCI, AdvancedTCA and VME compatibility. We can often recommend alternative approaches to critical design constraints.

Off-the-Shelf and Custom Products and Services

Pixus Technologies has one of the industry’s largest number of designs that include off-the-shelf and custom mechanical electronic packaging, standard and custom backplanes, bridges, power sub-systems and I/O in its catalog. These applications can include industrial automation, software or hardware development systems as well as specialized telecommunication, data communication and telephony. Our focus allows our customers to supply the application while we provide a reliable architecture solution on time. One of our main tasks is to develop and test individual parts, then supply these fully assembled and tested in any required configuration and quantity. The modular concept of our subracks permits a wide range of applications with the minimum number of components, since they are based on the same horizontal rails and system components. The only difference lies in the design of the side panels and configuration variants. Equipped with a backplane and power supply, a standard subrack can be rapidly upgraded to an Integrated System, for example. The subracks are shock and vibration-tested and conform to the latest IEC and IEEE specifications.

Pixus Technologies offers expert advice in the implementation of mechanical design for the production of electronic chassis. Pixus mechanical engineers provide a complete range of mechanical design services in partnership with the expertise and world class production facilities of Rittal.  Pixus mechanical engineers also carefully consider the thermal implications of the design and work closely with thermal engineering to ensure the product will perform in its intended application.  Pixus Technologies works with clients to simulate and test the real-life environmental factors of the application and make the necessary adjustments to maximize performance.

Mechanical Subrack Components

Our subrack systems are the key to accommodating high-quality electronics.  Whether you require a cost-effective system, a system for exceptionally high mechanical requirements or one with RF shielding, we guarantee a top quality solution with ideal handling. If you require a complete microcomputer system, including multi-layer backplane technology, high-performance power pack and effective heat dissipation, Pixus subracks are a cost-effective solution.

AdvancedTCA®

Off-the-shelf or custom AdvancedTCA® solutions available from Pixus Technologies will enable you to get your applications quickly to the market. We offer a range of off-the-shelf 14 and 16 slot versions of the AdvancedTCA® backplanes including Full Mesh and Dual Star. In addition custom designs are available for specific customer applications.
