The MD-3000 stood out among tens of thousands of global submissions, not only showcasing Cincoze’s strength in product R&D and technical integration, but also validating a design philosophy that combines functionality with aesthetics. Cincoze industrial computers are durable and good to look at.
High-Performance Computing Platform with Patented Thermal Design
The MD-3000 delivers the performance required for high-speed image processing and AI inference in computationally intensive machine vision applications, including support for 14th, 13th, and 12th-generation Intel© Core™ processors (35-65W), up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, and dual NVMe SSD storage. The MD-3000 achieves performance of this caliber, in a compact form factor similar to a PLC (150 mm), thanks to two patented thermal designs. The first is the Dynamic Thermal Mechanism. The design ensures rapid heat dissipation and reduced dust ingress by keeping the CPU heatsink firmly against the inside of the chassis cover so heat is efficiently directed to the external cooling fins which are then cooled by an external fan. The second is Smart Over Temperature Protection (OTP) technology, which monitors fan operation in real time and provides an early warning system to maintain stable and reliable system operation during extended runtime. (Patent numbers I893729, I870277)
Exclusive Modular Architecture for Integration Flexibility
The MD-3000 adopts Cincoze’s exclusive modular design architecture, with a computer, SED (Scalable Expansion Deck), and SEM (Scalable Expansion Module), delivering a highly flexible system configuration. Users can select 2, 4, or 6-slot SED and combine them with a diverse range of SEMs, including various I/O interfaces, PoE, M.2 expansion, and 2.5-inch storage options, to meet the integration needs of different industrial scenarios. All SEMs support a rail alignment design, significantly improving ease of use and installation efficiency.
Rugged Design and Electrical Cabinet Optimization
Purpose-built for use in electrical enclosures, the MD-3000 supports DIN-Rail mounting with all the primary interfaces and maintenance areas on the front of the chassis, making installation, operation, and maintenance more intuitive and convenient. The MD-3000 follows in the Cincoze rugged heritage, featuring wide temperature range operation (-40°C to 65°C), wide input voltage range (9-48 VDC), and shock and vibration resistance. It complies with industrial EMC standards (EN 61000-6-2/4), effectively resisting electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable operation in various harsh industrial environments. This makes it a reliable computing core for smart manufacturing and machine vision applications.
