In close collaboration with our customers, PBF en
ngineers coil solutions for specific high
demanding applications. For transformers, PBF does
d
the complete design. The engineering and
development process is subsequently translated into specific products, integrating electrical
engineering, electronics and mechanical designs. These designs range from relatively simple to
complex systems, depending on the customer demands and specifications.
•
PBF is a first tier development and prroduction partner for power supplies, orthocyclic
coils and transformers. With orthocycclic winding the high fill factor (>95%) is key.
•
PBF has a great variety in coils. Differrent thickness of wire, different angles and other
then usual geometric forms . Diamete
ers vary from 1 mm up to 300 mm.

Value Proposition
Technology Expertise
PBF Engineering teams develop a library of tran
nsformers, coils and coil assemblies to maintain
its technology leadership. The heart of every pow
wer supply are the inductive components. These
inductive components are fully developed by PBF itself, which makes PBF experts on this area.
Also our factory is based on our dedicated manufacturing process that has proven itself
throughout the last decade.

Performing engineering, manufacturring and safety qualifications in-house
Quality & Reliability
PBF strives for 100 % quality and reliability inline with ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 qualified
processes for highest possible consistency, ensuring functionality, manufacturability, and
compliance to a broad range of international standards. PBF products are manufactured in an
ISO-9000 certified manufacturing facility in Romania or China, utilizing state-of-the-art
manufacturing equipment and test processes.
Flexibility
PBF strives to be one of the most flexible power source and coils supplier in the industry with an
ability to manage rapid design changes,
changes sche
edule adjustments and inventory management
programs to achieve best-in-class cost and capaccity management.
Service
Dedicated in-house teams to manage all aspe
ects of service, engineering and manufacturing
requests for fast and accurate response to custom
mer requests.
Certification
PBF has extensive experience in designing and
d testing fully compliant products with relevant
international safety agency requirements as EN60950, EN60610, EN60065, EN60601 (medical), UL
and CB and CCC certification. This greatly reduces the risk of delaying projects and ensures
budget adherence.
Design and Qualification Prrocess
The design and qualification process is guided by a Statement of Work (SOW) where all steps are
documented. The procedure to pass each of the 4 design process steps is comprehensive.
Engineering, manufacturing and quality insurance
e together establish that design will ensure
reliable production, high yield, high quality, consisstency, and cost effectiveness.

Manufacturing
Netherlands & Romania:
For assembly of products with a higher level of complexity and lower quantities PBF manufactures
in the Netherlands. For series production for the
e European market we have a facility in Romania.
Special coils and transformers are wound using dedicated winding machines. Coils are assembled
into subassemblies. A number of coils are vacuu
um potted in our potting and coating department.
PBF is specialized in orthocyclic, bifilar and otherr more complex coil winding techniques.
China
Our partner in China has a production area off 40.000 sqm, 3.500 employees, more than 150
automatic production lines, with a specialize
ed production engineering team, supply chain
management team and production management team. An impeccable supply chain system and
manufacturing system provide more than 8 million
m
various power supply products, and 150
million high/low frequency transformers and other products for the global market each year.

Product Examples
Lineair Drive
PBF has a wide range of expe
ertise in manufacturing linear
motors. Linear motors can be
b used in a wide range of
production processes. For ex
xample the semiconductor,
automotive and robotics indu
ustries. They are mainly used
for linear movement within th
he application.
Deflection
Coil Assy
Deflection assemblies are ussed for steering the electrical
beam of diverse applications. These can be produced in
many different shapes and dimensions. Casted or open
models. PBF has proven engineering expertise in this area
by co-developing deflection coils
c
together with the
customer.
Controllable
Current
Source
Transformer
This DC/DC Brake for rotating UPS System was designed
by PBF in close collaboration
n with the customer. Also an
Over Current Detection and diverse
d
measurement
functions are added for a optimal control.
Water cooled
Coils
PBF has expertise in producing water cooled coils. With
also high experience in therm
mal management. This makes
that PBF can be an asset whe
en it comes to co-developing a
for example lens coil.
Bended Coil
When magnetic fields are req
quired within the application,
bended deflection coils can be
b engineered. All shapes and
dimensions can be produced
prod ced without
itho t damaging the coils
and therefore loosing their electrical and magnetic values.
PBF designed tooling is of the
e essence in providing the
highest possible quality.
