Equipment, components, and charging systems

Everpads rubber buffer for vibratory hammers

A small component can be the most important part of an equipment story. This Everpads film focuses on a rubber buffer for vibratory hammers, using product animation and narration to explain its role and the product advantages presented in the video.

For construction-equipment manufacturers, this is a useful reference for explaining a component that buyers may rarely see in isolation. The communication challenge is to connect the part to its working environment while keeping the explanation understandable for purchasing teams and equipment operators.

Henny Penny F5 open fryer: equipment presentation

This Henny Penny F5 Open Fryer animation presents commercial kitchen equipment and its operating features, with a focus on oil filtration. It connects the physical product with a function that matters in everyday food-service operations.

Food-service equipment often needs to communicate both the machine itself and the routine around it. An animation can give buyers a clear view of the product before a physical demonstration. This is the 2020 upload; the industrial portfolio also includes a separate 2018 F5 launch video with another presentation of the same product family.

Henny Penny SmartHold: commercial kitchen equipment

The SmartHold animation presents Henny Penny commercial kitchen equipment for high-volume dining facilities. It gives this appliance a focused product presentation alongside the F5 fryer films in the equipment portfolio.

This example is relevant when a manufacturer needs to introduce a machine to people who care about its place in a busy operation. A clear equipment film should help a buyer connect product features with an everyday task, while leaving detailed installation and operating instructions to the appropriate documentation.

Henny Penny F5 fryer: launch explainer

This F5 launch animation introduces the Henny Penny fryer in a compact product film. Published in 2018, it offers a shorter presentation than the separate 2020 Open Fryer video, giving visitors two ways to explore the same equipment family.

Seeing two films for the same equipment family helps illustrate a useful production choice: a launch introduction and a more detailed equipment presentation do not have to carry the same information. Manufacturers can use the comparison to decide how much explanation belongs in an initial product introduction.

HEVO wireless EV charging system

The HEVO Power Car film introduces wireless charging for electric vehicles. The animation presents the charging concept in a vehicle context, helping viewers understand an alternative to a conventional wired connection.

Charging technology connects a product, a vehicle, and a usage scenario. This example belongs in the industrial portfolio because it shows the value of explaining a system in context, rather than treating every piece of hardware as an isolated product shot.

Test and measurement instruments

Tektronix 7-Series oscilloscope

This 3D animation presents the Tektronix 7-Series oscilloscope. It is one of several instrument films in the portfolio, giving engineering and product teams a reference for introducing specialized test equipment visually.

Oscilloscope buyers need to understand an instrument's physical design as well as the information it helps them work with. This film is a useful starting reference for a product presentation where the hardware, interface, and technical audience all shape the visual direction.

Keithley source measure unit

This Keithley source measure unit animation uses a procedural 3D loop built in Houdini and rendered with Unreal Engine 5. The film presents an instrument that combines electrical sourcing and measurement in a compact form.

The communication opportunity is to make several related instrument functions feel like one coherent product story. For engineering suppliers, this example connects technical capability with a visual presentation that can be understood without reading a full specification sheet first.

Tektronix MSO 6 launch animation

The Tektronix MSO 6 launch animation introduces a technical instrument through a focused product film. It provides an earlier reference alongside the newer 7-Series presentation, giving the portfolio a wider view of test-equipment animation.

A launch video introduces a technical product before the viewer explores documentation or a demonstration. This example is useful for discussing visual identity, product presentation, and the balance between showing the instrument and explaining why someone should investigate it further.

Tektronix AFG31000 product animation

This portfolio video focuses on the Tektronix AFG31000 instrument. It extends the test-equipment collection beyond oscilloscopes, showing another technical product presented through 3D animation.

An instrument film needs a clear visual hierarchy: viewers should be able to identify the product and understand the intended focus without being overwhelmed by every control or specification. This example offers a reference for discussing the presentation of a specialized piece of electronic test equipment.

Keithley DAQ 6510 product explainer

The Keithley DAQ 6510 film is a 3D product explainer for a technical instrument. At just over two minutes, it provides more room for a product story than the brief launch teasers in this collection.

Data-acquisition equipment serves an audience with specific evaluation questions. A project like this can use a structured product narrative to move from identifying the instrument to discussing its role in a test setup. The amount of detail should follow the viewer's needs and familiarity with the equipment.

Keithley DMM 6500 device animation

This Keithley DMM 6500 film presents the device through a 3D product explainer. Alongside the DAQ 6510 and source measure unit films, it gives visitors another example of animation for electronic test equipment.

For a technical buyer, a clear explanation begins with identifying the instrument and the job it supports. This example is relevant to manufacturers planning a presentation that needs more structure than a rotating product view, while still keeping the device at the center of the story.

Fluke clamp meter animation

The Fluke Clamp Meter animation introduces a digital electrical measurement tool. It brings a handheld instrument into a portfolio that also includes benchtop devices, monitoring products, and larger commercial equipment.

Handheld tools pose a different presentation challenge from a large machine: the audience needs to understand both the instrument and the task around it. This example is a reference for product teams considering a focused tool animation for a product page, a sales discussion, or a technical introduction.

Traceable measurement and monitoring products

The Traceable Products animation presents precision measurement and monitoring, from spot measuring to live monitoring. It adds a system-focused example to the collection of individual instrument films.

Monitoring stories often involve more than a single device: a reading has to connect with the person or process using it. This example is relevant when a manufacturer needs to explain a range of related products or show how measurement fits into an operational workflow.

Fluke VT900 technical instrument animation

This Fluke VT900 video is a dedicated product animation in the studio's technical instrument portfolio. It adds another device-specific example to the Fluke work collected on this page.

Specialized equipment benefits from a presentation that makes the product recognizable before introducing detail. This example is relevant to teams evaluating visual styles for technical devices and test equipment, with the device itself as the focus of the product story.

Fluke VT650 product animation

The Fluke VT650 film focuses on a single technical device. Alongside the VT900 animation, it gives visitors two distinct product references from this part of the Fluke portfolio.

A concise instrument animation can introduce the product without attempting to explain every operating detail. This example is useful for discussing the scope of a short device presentation and how it might sit alongside specifications, product photography, and more detailed demonstrations.

Tektronix product teaser

This Tektronix product teaser is a brief introduction within the wider collection of launch videos and instrument presentations. Its compact format gives the product story a different pace from the longer explainers on this page.

A teaser has a narrower communication job than a product explainer: it introduces interest and directs the viewer toward more information. Including this film beside the longer instrument videos gives manufacturers a way to compare presentation formats before choosing the scope of a new animation.

Maintenance and technical explainers

Fluke ii910: maintenance-focused animation

This Fluke ii910 animation focuses on maintenance and the use of a precision acoustic imager to detect, locate, and analyze partial discharge. It introduces diagnostic technology through a product story with a specific operational purpose.

Maintenance technology often needs to communicate a condition that is difficult to see directly. This is a relevant reference for manufacturers explaining inspection tools and diagnostic equipment. It is the longer maintenance-focused upload; the industrial portfolio also includes a shorter ii910 presentation with another version of the product story.

Fluke ii910: acoustic imager product presentation

This second Fluke ii910 video presents the precision acoustic imager and its partial-discharge detection application in a shorter film. It offers another presentation of the equipment featured in the longer maintenance animation.

The two ii910 uploads demonstrate that the same device can be introduced through different film lengths and emphases. Visitors can compare this presentation with the longer maintenance example when deciding whether their own project needs a concise introduction or more explanation of the equipment's application.

Fluke explainer: facility maintenance context

This Fluke explainer places the technology in the context of maintaining the Figge Art Museum. It offers an application-led story alongside the device-focused Fluke animations in the collection.

This example is useful for teams that need to explain why equipment matters in a real operating setting. Instead of beginning and ending with a product identity, an application-focused brief can connect a facility's maintenance needs with the role of the technology being introduced.

Tektronix heritage explainer

The Tektronix Heritage explainer adds a company-story format to the industrial and technical portfolio. It provides a broader brand narrative alongside the individual instrument launches and product presentations.

Technical organizations sometimes need to explain their background and product story before moving into a specific device. This example is included for that broader marketing use: connecting an engineering brand with its audience through an organized visual narrative.
