This was a top quality copy of the original design, facilitating obsolescence removal and enabling PCB upgrades, which allowed the radios to be taken in the field where valuable kit was lying idle, thanks to effective re-engineering solutions.

This was one of a set of five boards copied from original old non-working samples. Along with supplying the new set of boards, they received a complete package of drawings, artworks, BOMs, and other essential documents for obsolescence removal. These solutions are part of our PCB upgrades, ensuring that even in cases where we could only view the boards, they work perfectly on the first attempt, which is crucial for effective re-engineering solutions.

This PSU drives two models of Radio, and every part, including the heatsink, floating connectors, earth spring, casing, and electronics, underwent extensive re-engineering solutions to meet evolving specifications, while also addressing obsolescence removal and enabling PCB upgrades.

The filter assembly was sent to us for re-engineering solutions, as it was initially believed the customer could purchase the connector end. However, they couldn't, so InvisiTech took on the task of making that component and wiring it into the filter assembly. This process not only addressed the immediate need but also contributed to obsolescence removal and facilitated PCB upgrades.

This assembly was basically straightforward, but the complexity of the inner workings included a specific magnet for collecting gear swarf. However, once deciphered, it became an easy fix to the issue, highlighting the importance of obsolescence removal and PCB upgrades in our re-engineering solutions.

This 1cm cube transformer has very tight tolerances on its functions and was no longer supported by the original manufacturer. Due to an error on the drawings that our team found and corrected, it became impossible for them to produce it consistently. Through our obsolescence removal strategies and PCB upgrades, we have implemented effective re-engineering solutions to ensure reliable performance.

The socket for PCB mounting at 90 degrees was designed to ensure plug compatibility with existing sets in the field, facilitating obsolescence removal and enabling seamless PCB upgrades through effective re-engineering solutions.

Keyed connector (sockets) with guide holes for location pins are essential for ensuring proper alignment during PCB upgrades. The connector must float to accommodate irregularities in the fixed mating halves, which is a crucial aspect of obsolescence removal and effective re-engineering solutions.
We developed a small fine pitched PCB mounting connector designed for obsolescence removal, ensuring it fit the existing PCB design and the physical space constraints. This connector maintains the correct distance between boards without the risk of disconnection, while also being fully cleanable after soldering, making it an excellent choice for PCB upgrades and re-engineering solutions.
The 10kv Switch Plate features built-in terminations and pivot points, and is machined from a single large plastic block, ensuring no distortion and minimizing the risk of arcing or shorting. This design not only supports obsolescence removal but also accommodates PCB upgrades and offers effective re-engineering solutions.
This special cable spanner is designed for use in extremely tight spaces, where even a tommy bar is unable to assist. It plays a crucial role in obsolescence removal, facilitating PCB upgrades and providing innovative re-engineering solutions.

This specialist cooling system, made from aluminium and stainless steel, boasts a very high specification. It is designed for longevity, ensuring reliable operation for extended periods without interruption, making it an ideal choice for obsolescence removal, PCB upgrades, and re-engineering solutions.

The original component fitted to the customer board was a BGA, and while the new device was also a BGA, it was a different size and required additional parts to meet the programming needs. This situation highlights the importance of obsolescence removal and PCB upgrades, as well as the need for effective re-engineering solutions.
The original transistor was a large bolt-down can, and its replacement part was a TO style device, illustrating a clear case of obsolescence removal. This transition often necessitates PCB upgrades and re-engineering solutions to ensure compatibility with modern systems.
The original device was a PGA, and with its obsolescence removal, the new replacement was an SMD. This required a voltage change, prompting us to design a voltage regulator circuit underneath as part of our PCB upgrades and re-engineering solutions.

The box fuse features an internal wire replacement, which not only facilitates quick and simple fuse changing when necessary but also serves as part of our obsolescence removal strategy, ensuring seamless PCB upgrades and effective re-engineering solutions.
A faster and more reliable module has entered the market, featuring a different footprint and new requirements for successful operation. This is the converter plus module, which is an effective solution for obsolescence removal, facilitating PCB upgrades and offering robust re-engineering solutions.

Bus bar with diode current directioning is an effective solution for obsolescence removal, serving as a replacement for an obsolete part while facilitating essential PCB upgrades through innovative re-engineering solutions.
