Axeltron Company History
The history of Axeltron dates back to the early 1970s, when I first saw the open interiors of radio and television receivers in a service facility. The magical light of working lamps and the heat radiating from them simply brought to mind time travel machines.
Then there was a passion for learning about electric circuits with all their diodes, lamps and transistors. I calculated transformer ratios and tried to somehow guess the operating point voltage of a transistor without the help of any meter. And when the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979 and the Khomeini revolution broke out in Iran, I searched the shops for opportunities to buy ordinary insulated wires to build myself a clock with an LED display. My schoolmates and I bought nitric acid in 5L containers to etch the first printed circuits. In 1983 I built the first superreactive FM radio on one single BF200 transistor.
Then, in 1983, I saw the first book on microprocessors in a bookstore window. Logic and mathematics in their purest form. The book quickly became mine and I started a series of control projects using the 8080 microprocessor and then the Z80. There are also notebooks with poems in the form of:
“LD A, 6
ADD A, (HL)
LD (HL), A
INC HL
…”
Then it was faster and faster. The desire to experience the best possible technology of those times led me to the army, where I became familiar with more and less secret communication systems, combating interference and automation, then still quite analog.
Then came 1991. That was the year from which I could count my first business activities, which after years of many colorful adventures and programming probably countless microcontrollers, led me to another epochal discovery, which was getting to know professional industrial automation 10 years ago.
And this combination of microcontroller control systems, which themselves draw a current of 100mA, and control currents, where 800A fuses the size of a fist are not uncommon, is what I am currently dealing with.
So if you are interested in similar issues, are their enthusiast, or have a problem to solve in this field, then I invite you to cooperate.
