SPECIFICATIONS

The following specifications are needed for building electrohydrodynamic printing platform:

· High voltage power source that can reach 10 kV, which can drive viscous inks made from polymer and other materials to the printing nozzle. Because the viscosity of inks may change dramatically due to different composites, it is better to use amplifier with wider range of voltage. We think 10 kV is a good range.

· The voltage values and frequencies need to be adjusted to optimize the printing results, so the amplifier should be able to provide both DA and AC signals.

· High accuracy is required to provide stable control of the electrohydrodynamic jetting.

The Trek 610E high voltage power amplifier by Advanced Energy Industries, Micropipette Puller (Part No: TK-12409G) meets these specifications.

The Trek® 610E provides six modes of high voltage operation. Trek 610E amplifies an externally applied signal with a switch-selectable setting of 100 V/V or 1000 V/V. As a high voltage reference supply, a front panel dial commands the output voltage. As a transconductance amplifier, an externally applied voltage signal produces a proportional output current. As a current supply, a front-panel dial commands the output currents. As a high voltage controller, the high voltage amplifier mode is maintained but the amplifier input and feedback elements are uncommitted and configured by the user.
