Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions Introduces Conduction-Cooled Rugged ATR Enclosures

Brockton, MA - U.S.- based Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions has been an innovative leader in system architecture for computing platforms. The company introduces its new 716 Series of conduction-cooled rugged ATR enclosures. A ompactly-sized and lightweight line, the 716 Series is engineered for maximum flexibility, strength and cooling in a range of harsh-environment applications.

The 716 Series of ATRs can be configured to custom form factor requirements and is also available in standard ARINC sizes ranging from ½ ATR Short to 1-1/2 ATR Long. Offered in 3U and 6U form factors, the 716 Series supports bus structures and platforms in the VME, VME64x, VXS, VPX and CompactPCI architectures.

The flexibility of the 716 Series extends to its cooling methods, incorporating configurable conducting walls that allow the ATR to be customized for a wide range of thermal requirements. The conducting walls can be precision-machined in a variety of patterns to optimize the surface area for maximum heat transfer. Though designed as a straight conduction-cooled chassis, the 716 Series can also be configured as an air-over conduction-cooled ATR. This air-over conduction cooling method keeps the channeled air outside of the ATR, allowing the cards within to remain in a sealed environment and protected from the elements.

Designed as a lightweight alternative to the dip-brazed 717 Series, the 716 Series is engineered to meet the stringent weight requirements of airborne applications. For additional durability, the 716 Series can also be configured with an optional avionics tray for isolation from airborne, vehtronics and shipboard shock and vibration.
