HISTORY

|
|
Bonitron is an electronics and electrical systems design, engineering, and manufacturing company located in Nashville, Tennessee. Specializing in solutions and options for AC Drives Options, Bonitron has seen numerous designs since 1962. Bonitron products include braking choppers, resistor, line Regens, power sag/outage Ride-Thru, power supplies and additional Accessories.
The interest in AC Drive Options began in 1985. AC Inverter Specialists at Du Pont facilities enlisted the design services of Bonitron at their synthetic fiber plants. Bonitron designed, developed, and manufactured speed control systems that allowed plant process computer systems to be interfaced with the drive inverter systems. Today, many of the drive system integrators use Bonitron Ride-Thru Modules and Line Regeneration Modules with their pulse width modulation inverters.
Most recently, Bonitron has been working closely with those in the semi-conductor industry. The continuous manufacturing process currently used in the industry is quite susceptible to power sags created by storms interfering with the incoming power. The emphasis has been to customize the Bonitron Ride-Thru Modules to reduce both downtime and scrap product.
Over the years, Bonitron has developed over 3500 different circuit modules and instruments for monitoring and control of industrial continuous processes. These modules and instruments include multi-motor multi-phase current sensors, true reading RMS tracking digital voltmeters, digital ammeters, counters, frequency meters, process controllers, data acquisition systems, temperature control systems, inverter upgrade modules, battery charging systems, and modular high speed precision AC inverter systems. |

ENGINEERING
Bonitron has an engineering staff with a wealth of combined experience in electronics and electrical system design. The engineering staff is highly qualified both academically and with "hands on" experience. The engineers all bring a wealth of diverse experience to Bonitron including electronics and electrical design, microprocessor-based controls, hands-on field experience, and applications engineering expertise.

TESTING AND ASSEMBLY
Bonitron technicians have the latest test equipment in extensive on-site testing laboratories. This allows the engineers to have immediate access to testing and quality assurance, essential to providing only the best quality products.
Production facilities are state of the art with experienced professionals taking an individual interest in product assembly. The layout and board assembly as well as the final assembly department each has team leadership with well over 150 years of combined experience.

FACILITIES
A 16,000 square foot building was completed in 1991 to house engineering, labs, manufacturing, and corporate offices. The engineering and design space includes labs for prototype testing and evaluation and a CAD lab for circuit board layout and documentation. The manufacturing facilities include production areas for circuit board, module and systems assembly, a machine tool and sheet metal shop for chassis fabrication. This facility gives Bonitron all the resources necessary for complete electronic product development and manufacturing.
Within five years the need was felt for further expansion and in 1996 a 4500 square foot addition was built to allow for larger scale production and assembly areas. With the addition of square footage came the ability to warehouse more stock products and in turn allow for quicker turn around on special orders.
