VYPR3

Fluence Bioengineering – 2020

Launched in Q4 2020, the latest generation of the Fluence VYPR series includes several new mounting configurations and six spectra offerings. These options, coupled with a lower sales price, were curated for market expansion into European commercial agriculture.

Role:

I managed the mechanical design of all heatsinks, hanging brackets, and hardware to enable deployment in greenhouses across the globe.

Design Considerations:

  • Redesign heatsink with reduced material cost and updated product branding
  • Expand hanging hardware options for perpendicular, side of truss, and underneath supply mounting
  • Incorporate DUO mounting configuration designed to mimic light distribution of traditional HPS lighting
  • Update material specifications for CE compliance

Manufacturing Processes:

  • Injection Molding
  • Metal Extrusion
  • Sheet Metal Stamping and Forming
  • PCB SMT
  • Wire Forming

Materials:

  • Anodized Aluminum
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Stainless Steel Spring Wire
