The Met Buoy is an instrument equipped with sophisticated communication system and sensors that collect and measure real time ocean and weather data. Its sensors enable the equipment to gather data on wind, relative humidity, air temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall, wave height and direction, and sea temperature. Its power supply is sustained by batteries and solar panels so that it is kept continuously operational. The locally-developed Met Buoy will monitor real time disturbances at sea. Its installation in critical areas will monitor changes at sea, most especially during extreme weather conditions. Data gathered will be used to provide accurate and timely information to help prevent sea accidents and tragedies.

The CNC Plasmanoy utilizes Digital Signal Processing control and servo drive mechanism on cam follower linear rails for the 2-axis gantry system. The third axis uses a Torch Height Controller. The work piece is placed on a platform made from mild steel laser-fabricated cutting grates. Bended mild steel makes up the spatter catch, which is found immediately below the cutting grates. Flexibility and robustness are brought about by the heavy-duty plasma generator and compressor. It is a highly versatile, accurate, and efficient equipment. It uses a string of codes to follow a set of instructions in an orderly manner in order to produce a tool path on the machine. Its high temperature plasma is capable of boring and cutting ferrous and limited non-ferrous metal materials.

The dual-purpose machine functions as juicer of sweet sorghum and crusher of sugarcane. It acts as sweet sorghum juicer when the top roller rotates in the opposite direction as the bottom rollers. It is converted to a sugarcane crusher when:
It is easy to operate, requires low maintenance, lightweight, portable, and can adapt to electric or engine prime mover. Target Sector: Sugar Industry Engr. Jose B. Ferrer |

The CNC Super Lilok is a combination of a Router machine and a CNC device. It is operated by G-Codes. The controller reads the G-Codes and translates the numbers to mechanical movement so that it can cut and engrave on woods, metals, and acrylics. A stepper motor drives the Router enabling it to move and cut in three directions: X, Y, and Z. It is developed to help the local wood-working and metal cutting industries stay competitive. It has the ability to produce more intricate and sophisticated woodworking designs in large quantities. It not only allows creativity and complexity in woodworking and metal cutting designs, but also increases efficiency. Target Sector: Metalworking; Woodworking Researcher: Engr. Jayson P. Rogelio |

Compared to the previous model (2011), the sugarcane crusher’s main advantages are:
This equipment is designed to extract juice from sugarcane using a two-cylinder engine that is connected to a transmission system which reduces speed and produces the torque required for crushing. The sugarcane crusher addresses the increasing demand for a more efficient juice extraction to supply the needs for both sugar and ethanol.
