BOHEMIA, NY – March 2023 -- North Atlantic Industries, Inc. (NAI), a leading supplier of embedded computing solutions and power supplies, is proud to announce that its Chip Detector I/O Services Segment (IOSS) Unit of Conformance (UoC) software has achieved FACE® Technical Standard conformance. This milestone represents NAI’s third FACE® conformant UoC and marks a significant achievement for the company’s COSA® configurable product line.

NAI’s adaptable and programmable Chip Detector smart function modules are engineered to identify metallic particles in lubrication and hydraulic systems, providing a dependable method for detecting potential failures in bearings and gears. The chip sensor circuit senses resistance drops when ferrous metallic particles approach the sensor and begin bridging the gap between two contacts.

The Chip Detector IOSS UoC software from NAI provides high-precision sensing, real-time diagnostics, and seamless integration with various aircraft systems. It continuously measures sensor gap resistance and activates the Fuzz Burn charge circuit to eliminate normal and typical amounts of metallic fuzz when the sensor gap resistance falls below the programmable FAULT resistance threshold.

NAI’s COSA® product line features a broad selection of smart, configurable modules, making it a preferred choice for engineers seeking dependable and high-performance embedded electronics solutions. NAI’s continued achievement of FACE® conformance milestones, combined with its commitment to customer support, reinforces the company’s position as a leading provider of embedded computing solutions and power supplies for aerospace and defense applications.

*FACE® conformance pertains to the Chip Detector IOSS UoC software that supports the Chip Detector module within NAI’s COSA® configurable product line.
