About BKT
BKT Elektromechanik Entwicklungs- und Produktions GmbH, based in Eberfing (Bavaria), develops, manufactures and tests electronic products and assemblies in the fields of power electronics, high-frequency technology and control technology. The portfolio includes RF power transmitters of the RFD series (500–2500 watts, 10–230 MHz), medium-frequency power generators of the MFG series (500–2500 watts, 10 kHz–1000 kHz) for inductive and dielectric heating as well as plasma excitation, RF drivers for acousto-optic components (AOM/AOD, AOQ, AOTF), high-voltage power supplies (500–3000 watts), capacitor chargers (500–6000 J/s) as well as RF power couplers, splitters and measurement technology such as the Laser Puls Monitor. The company supports customers from the initial idea through development and prototype construction to series production, including system modernization, OEM versions, EMC consulting and customer-specific calibration in series production. Applications can be found in laser technology, mechanical and plant engineering, medical technology as well as in research, education and analytics. Manufacturing takes place in Eberfing; before shipping, every unit undergoes a 100% functional test.
