History

Over 30 years experience

1989​

THE Origins

Eurofeedback was founded by Jean-Yves MARTIN, power electronics engineer, at the age of 37.

At that time, power electronics made strong progress and began to become a profession for specialists. Faced with this observation, large companies are refocusing their design offices on their core business and are turning to subcontracting for these specialized trades. Eurofeedback is born from the opportunity offered by this change in the market and will become this specialist.

As in the best entrepreneurial stories, Jean-Yves, with his seventeen years of experience in the field and passionate about his profession, begins in a small cellar of a building with an office area and a laboratory area. He works day and night for his first client: Thalès. Eurofeedback designs and manufactures ATOP traveling wave tube power supplies for it.

The company will evolve, grow, undergo transformations and diversifications, but this initial DNA will guide all these evolutions and continues today: innovation and expertise in power electronics and optics at the service piloting tubes (or flash lamps). And this, with a level of robustness and reliability well beyond consumer standards, in the space and military fields.

A know-how around light refined during more than 30 years of adventures in the industrial, space and military markets for renowned companies such as General Electrics, Thalès, Philips, Alcatel, and around which will be designed and manufactured power supplies or test benches for in particular: 

  • cathode ray tubes for television screens,
  • cathode ray screens in airplane cockpits,
  • X-ray tubes for scanners,
  • radiotherapy tubes,
  • night vision tubes,
  • Xenon tubes for very high speed printers.

HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRONICS AND THE REQUIREMENT

Eurofeedback begins its history with the design of specialized power supplies used by Thalès Space engineers to test ATOP traveling wave tubes used by satellites for terrestrial communication, a “space” story with Thalès Space which will last until 2016.

It works in parallel for Thalès Avionique designing high voltage test benches for the control of the screens of civil Airbus cockpits as well as the power supplies for the head-up sights of fighter planes.

Growing, it moved to industrial premises with more space for manufacturing in Lisses, 30km south of Paris.

1995 - 2002

CATHODE RAY TUBES AND HIGH AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE

For eight years, Eurofeedback designs and manufactures impressive test benches for cathode ray tubes for Philips (under Windows 3.11). They will be deployed in Philips factories around the world.

This equipment, over 10 meters long and delivering 40,000 volts, was present on the television assembly lines of Philips factories. They had to deliver high power 24 hours a day to make the cathode-ray tubes "flash" to their limits and thus reject too fragile televisions.

Eurofeedback engineers knew how to design generators delivering high power in a stable and perfectly controlled manner. However, they had to acquire new know-how: to make them robust and reliable to the point of being able to deliver this power with operating constraints 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

FROM UNIT TO SERIES PRODUCTION

After 5 years of intense work, Eurofeedback masters the technology of the power generator and seeks to acquire mastery of the lamp itself. Its engineers then designed and manufactured for Nipson Technology a prototype generator for xenon lamps. It will lead to the order of more than 4,500 pieces over 7 years.

These generators are used for toner drying for very high speed printers capable of producing over 700 prints per minute.

Eurofeedback engineers also design the 450mm lamps associated with the generator of this system.

The teams thus developed their first pulsed light equipment, their first made-to-measure flash lamp, and the company acquired know-how in the production of series equipment.

1999

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The company acquires ISO 9001 certification in order to notify its compliance with quality assurance requirements in the industrial field.

2000

LIGHT FOR DECONTAMINATION

Always on the lookout for new applications for light in the industrial field, Eurofeedback signs a partnership with the CTCPA (Centre Technique de la Conserverie des Produits Alimentaires = Technical Center for the Canning of Food Poducts) to promote pulsed light technology in decontamination applications.

2001

PHOTOTHERAPY:
FROM HIGH VOLTAGE TO OPTICS

Seeing a promising new application in pulsed light, Eurofeedback is embarking on the development of professional phototherapy equipment for the aesthetic and medical markets.

To their know-how in power electronics, optics and series production, Eurofeedback engineers add light filtration in order to concentrate it safely on the destruction of hair.

The company quickly became the French leader in the design and manufacture of professional pulsed light devices (IPL) as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). It will produce more than 4000 pieces of equipment in the L600, L800 and L900 families.

2002-2007

IN THE SERVICE OF THE FRENCH ARMY

In parallel with its activities around pulsed light, Eurofeedback continues its activity in specific high-precision food for the military field.
Its engineers designed and patented the power supply for the tube of night vision goggles for the French army, allowing performance 40 times greater than the generation previously in service.

2004

Ariane®, the 1st brand of IPL by Eurofeedback

After five years and manufacturing more than 4000 white label pulsed light equipment, Eurofeedback decides to produce its first IPL pulsed light device under its own brand.

Since space activity is still predominant in the design office, the engineers will name it Ariane® in homage to the famous rocket. They will design all the components of the machine, including the HMI and the hydraulic system.

It will be mass-produced for the aesthetic and medical fields, sold in France, Canada and Spain.

PATENT ON PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL FOR WHITE HAIR

Eurofeedback's design office imagines and clinically tests a new process to address the problem of the difficulty in removing light and white hairs. Avec ce worldwide patent, this technology is exclusively reserved for users of Eurofeedback devices.
