Mastercam 2026.R2 shifts simulation workloads from CPU to GPU hardware. A new GPU-accelerated verifier and the Copilot assistant target faster toolpath checks and fewer repetitive edits, as the company moves to a twice-yearly major release cadence.
Omron’s S8AS2 targets crowded control cabinets with smarter DC distribution. It combines a 24 V power supply, branch-level electronic protection, and live diagnostics, aiming to simplify wiring and isolate faults without taking an entire panel offline.
Renesas will license EPC’s eGaN for low-voltage power devices globally. The deal adds second-sourcing and aims to accelerate GaN adoption in AI power, robotics, and compact converters.
Industrial touchscreens have stripped tactile feedback from many HMIs today. Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development at Swindon Silicon Systems, explains how custom ASICs enable precise, closed-loop haptics that makes digital panels feel more like physical controls.
BorgWarner’s BMS contract expands to more EV platforms from 2029. A modular BMU–CMU architecture targets 800V packs, DC fast-charge communication, and ASIL D-oriented diagnostics.
Teledyne FLIR OEM has launched a new long-range thermal ISR camera. The Neutrino SX8 ISR 50-1000 extends detection ranges for border, perimeter, and counter-UAS applications, with a factory-integrated continuous zoom lens and AI-ready architecture.
Infineon is shipping isolated gate drivers aimed at SiC inverters. The 1ED301xMC12I family uses an opto-emulator input to replace optocouplers without a PCB redesign, while tightening timing, noise immunity, and switching behaviour.
Richardson Electronics has added Nxbeam MMICs to its RF portfolio. A global agreement broadens access to GaN and GaAs devices up to 76 GHz for radar, satcom, and test equipment designs.
