The centre in San Rocco al Porto

Beta Nit has an intellectual productive structure made up of multi-disciplinary knowledge of an engineering and technical-humanities background.

As a result of its internal structure Beta Nit can tackle all planning and manufacturing aspects in the development of new and complex mechatronic systems and software.
At the headquarters there are various offices and the R&D laboratory fitted with a complete suite of CAE development tools, such as mechanical 3D CAD, electronic CAD for PCB, dynamic-kinematic simulators, simulators of electronic circuits, of optical devices, compilers and multi-platform debugger.

The electronic laboratory is fitted with the more advanced equipment for the testing of all components and productive machinery for the assembly and programming of SMD boards and of microcontrollers.

In particular the main hardware and software equipment available is the following:

  • Eagle, electronic CAD by Cadsoft
  • MPLAB C, compilers for microcontrollers byi Microchip
  • Development and prototyping instruments for the microcontrollers group by Microchip
  • Development and prototyping instruments for the group of CPLD ed FPGA by Lattice Semiconductor
  • Tektronix Inc TDS 1002 Oscilloscope
  • Mantis, stereo microscope by Vision Engineering
  • Fixed and portable stabilized power supplies
  • welding station for electronic thru-hole and smd components by ERSA Digital 2000
  • Fluke multimeters

The optical laboratory is located inside the electronic lab and has sufficient space (18m length) for photometric/radiometric measurements. The main equipment available is the following:

  • Industrial optical benches by Newport for experiments in geometric and physical optics
  • set of Newport and Edmund Scientific lenses
  • spectrometers Ocean Optics
  • portable luxometers Spectra USA
  • luxometers and luminancemeter customised on Hamamatsu electronics
  • DLP projectors by Benq
  • Newport laser He-Ne projection systems
  • CCD Microcameras and industrial by IDS
  • Nikon and Canon cameras with different types of optical lenses including fish-eye with a field of view of more than 180°
  • JVC and Hitachi video cameras
  • Calibrated and non calibrated light sources with various technologies: LED, filament and discharge sources
  • Opticad, optical simulator by Opticad Corporation

The mechanical laboratory is provided with machine tools which are ideal for prototype making and low production volumes. Some of the main machines are listed below:
