Panel BTU calculator
Enter cabinet size and the temperature rise you can accept. We suggest a cooler class you can take to any panel AC vendor.
Free engineering tools
SAS Middle East FZC — Sharjah
Work out the cooler class, encoder conversion or CAN gateway you need — then send that spec to SAS. No signup.

Each form asks the questions we would ask on a plant visit. Save a branded PDF for your file, or forward the same text as a proposal. Arabic: أدوات هندسية. AI planning tools: ai.sas-engineering.net/tools.html.
GCC cooling checklist
Record 50 °C ambient, stainless and ATEX needs before you buy a cooler — then send the pack to SAS.
Panel heat budget
Add heat from PLCs, drives and power supplies so the BTU calculator starts from real watts, not a guess.
Encoder protocol matcher
Tell us the encoder you have and what the CNC expects. Add a second output if one encoder must feed two controllers.
Encoder Bridge configurator
Choose input and output protocols — including a second port when one encoder has to serve two machines.
Encoder Hub configurator
Plan how many axes share a fiber string, how long the run is, and where the master sits next to the CNC.
Encoder resolution
Turn pulses per revolution and the mechanics into millimetres or arc-seconds before you order the encoder.
Dual CAN configurator
Set CAN A and CAN B protocols and baud rates, then name the telematics target for a PSCU-V6 quote.
AI Interface configurator
List analog, digital and fieldbus channels so we can size the hardware that feeds your AI stack.
Repair / reverse-engineering intake
Send the brand, nameplate and what failed. We advise repair versus reverse engineering from the Sharjah bench.
FAQ
Questions plant engineers ask
Practical answers on free engineering tools — from Sharjah, for plants in the UAE and GCC.
Are these tools free, and can I export a PDF?
Yes. Calculators and configurators run in the browser with no signup. Each tool can download a branded SAS PDF of your configuration or result.
Which tool should I open first?
Start with cooling if you are sizing a cabinet: heat budget, then the BTU calculator, then the GCC checklist. For encoder conversion, match the protocols first, then open the Encoder Bridge or Hub. For vehicle or machine CAN, use the Dual CAN configurator. For failed hardware, start the repair intake.
Do the PDFs replace a quotation?
No. The PDF is a structured enquiry for your file and for SAS engineering. We confirm protocols, cooling class or repair path before we quote.
Where are the AI planning tools?
GPU sizer, readiness checklist, PdM planner and vision latency live on ai.sas-engineering.net/tools.html.
Do you work on site in the UAE and GCC?
Yes. SAS Middle East FZC is based in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah. We survey, engineer and commission on site across the UAE and GCC.
How do we request a technical proposal?
Use Request a technical proposal and include the machine, protocol or fault, and the site. We typically reply within 24 hours.
