Modular Design for Cost & Maintenance
The solution integrates power electronics with chambers through a backplane that optimizes wiring and connections, simplifying the overall design. The modular configuration allows for easy upgrades, while the tower (up to 8/10 meters) offers flexibility in installation. The compact formation chamber simplifies assembly and testing. The system is designed for easy maintenance, with power electronics accessible from the front, a modular structure for quick component replacement, and a lightweight design that facilitates operation. Maintenance of the control tower is also simplified, ensuring optimal performance.
