Nexans opens its first plant in Russia
Nexans held a grand opening ceremony on November 20 to mark the official launch of production
at its Ouglich plant in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russian Federation. The new plant is Nexans’ first manufacturing facility in Russia, and represents, with an
amount of 35 million Euros, the first major investment by a non-Russian cable manufacturer in
the country. 180 jobs are being created in the
Yaroslav region thanks to the opening of this
plant. Many operators have attended training
courses in other factories of the Nexans group. The
company has operated in the Russian market for
more than a decade, with involvement in largescale national projects. For instance, during the last
few years, Nexans cables have been installed at
Zhiguli hydropower plant, on the offshore oil
platform of Prirazlomnoe, as well as at the Baikonur
space launch pad. The first important High Voltage underground cable projects rated up to 500
kV in Moscow and St. Petersburg were accomplished
due to the major contribution made by Nexans cables and cable laying technology.
US still largest producer of industrial
machines in 2006
According to the latest statistics from IMS Research, the United States retained its lead as the
world’s largest producer of industrial machines in
2006, with $122 billion worth of production. This
lead is narrowing, however. Germany was second
with $119 billion, followed closely by Japan with
$110 billion. This may be changing with the weakening of the dollar since 2006. The fastest growing region has been China. Its industrial machinery production has averaged 23% annual growth
since 2002, driving it past Italy and France to take
the fourth position. According to IMS Research analyst Steve Odom, “China is in another league of
machinery production growth rates. The good news
for other regions is that this growth seems now
less about industries and plants migrating from higher cost regions to China. Rather, the growth now
seems a net positive for other regions. China’s
domestic growth is so strong; it is requiring industrial machine imports to fuel this growth. Demand from China has made worldwide growth in
industrial machines very broad based.”
Frost & Sullivan to host one-day event on the
Adoption of Wireless Solution in Industrial
Automation
Wireless devices are making an entry into the industrial environment thanks to their numerous benefits such as flexibility, cabling cost reduction and
extending measurements to critical information.
However, the rate of adoption has been slow
due to numerous challenges and concerns among
end users, important ones being reliability, security and safety. To discuss the latest trends in the
Wireless Frost & Sullivan will host a one day workshop on Thursday, 5 February 2009 at Moevenpick
Hotel, Frankfurt City, Germany. The event will
focus on the conditions and issues that end users
of wireless communications systems and products in both process and in discrete industries will
encounter.
European Industrial Ethernet Award
Announcing the European Industrial Ethernet
Award, the company B&R invites students to
participate in the first pan-European university
competition of its kind. B&R calls for innovative
concepts, creative solutions, practice-oriented
application suggestions and promising scientific research projects from all technical disciplines.
The only requirement for your proposal is the usage of Powerlink technology in form. For an

Hannover Messe 2009
The first-ever made its debut in 1947. Every year this
high-profile tech transfer platform creates a fruitful
climate for new ideas and business contacts. Hannover Messe provides a unifying umbrella for numerous flagship shows which centre on virtually all the
links in the industrial value chain. As some of these shows
take place at two-year intervals, the Hannover Messe
line-up varies from year to year. Major themes in
2009 will be industrial automation, energy technology and industrial subcontracting plus related services.
By focussing sharply on promising future-oriented
technologies Hannover Messe sets the key trends and
– more so than ever before – is a driving force behind
innovation and technological progress. Hannover
Messe is much more than a technology show, however. Numerous conferences and congresses provide a central forum for international knowledge transfer. No
other event offers more scope for developing new business opportunities and bilateral contacts.
The organizers of Hannover Messe 2009 expect that
the Hannover Exhibition Grounds will be used to full
capacity. For the first time ever Hannover Messe will
encompass 13 flagship shows. The standards-trades will
be augmented by the following biennial events: “Motion, Drive & Automation” (MDA, Leading Trade Fair
for Power Transmission and Control), “ComVac” (Leading Trade Fair for Compressed Air and Vacuum Technology) and “Surface Technology” (Leading Trade
Fair for Surface Technology). The line-up will include
the new trade show “Wind” (Leading Trade Fair for
Wind Generation Technology, Components and Services). A major priority at Hannover Messe 2009 will
be the development of “Power Plant Technology”, which
made a successful debut in 2008. At “Motion, Drive and
Automation” (MDA) the spotlight will be on condition
monitoring systems (CMS) for industrial plant and
machinery. Such systems play a key role in minimizing
downtimes and boosting output. The “World User Club”
and “Process Automation LIVE” will explore the topic of operational excellence. Users will have an opportunity to swap ideas and experience practical automation solutions live and in action. The special display “Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes” will explore the possibilities for reducing CO2 emissions at
all stages of the production process. A headline event
at Hannover Messe 2009 will be the World Energy Dialogue under the umbrella of the “Energy” trade
show. In 2008 an audience of 600 got together with
high-calibre contributors from business politics and science to discuss forward-looking energy concepts. In
2009 the spotlight will shift to the gas industry and its
role in the future energy mix.
Korea has been selected as the official “Partner Country” at Hannover Messe 2009, following in the footsteps of Russia (2005), India (2006), Turkey (2007) and
Japan (2008). The Partner Countries at Hannover
Messe gain a unique opportunity to demonstrate
their potential to an international audience. In 2009
Korea will be ideally placed to forge new bilateral and
multilateral links and prepare the ground for joint ventures, technology transfer and R&D collaboration. In
the past the number of Partner Country exhibitors has
varied between 150 (Japan) and 343 (India). The same
applies to the display area: Japan occupied 4,866
square metres, India 13,000 square metres.

Sensor Signal Amplifier
for strain gage or temp. measurement
The flexible sensor signal amplifier for strain
gage or temperature measurement applications is based on a flexible PCB and allows applications in narrowed installations. The RMC technique
for programming online gain and zero point has a
resolution of 16 Bit and is stored in a non-volatile
memory on the rotor. There is no need to solder miniature resistors for conditioning the amplifier. For documentation all conditioning data as well as the serial number can be readout. Also additional information about
the type of the sensor and calibration data can be
stored on the rotor. The sensor signal amplifier can
be wound round the shaft. Its thickness of 2.8mm including the sealing is remarkable. Due to the new kind of
installation elegant solutions in narrowed surroundings
are possible. Typical applications are the input shaft of
the gear, at the universal shaft, strain measurement at
small toothed wheel and the turbo-charger. The sensor
signal amplifier uses the proven 16 Bit technique.

The new range of
switch and sensor
products for the
OEM lock and security systems market
enables systems designers to increase
the effectiveness of
entry/lock systems
by incorporating the
latest in electromechanical components into their new
products. Many systems now use motorised and solenoid
locks, electric strikes and magnets for door locking.
The sensors indicate the position of the door at any given time and are ideal for use in door contacts, which are
installed on both the frame and the door. The switches monitor the latch bolt position, the outside trip
(locked or unlocked), and in some systems, the touch bar.
Both switches and sensors offer advantages: in particular, the company's range of DG and DB miniature
switches will handle the load and life requirements of
the system, while being small enough to fit onto a
PCB, saving board space for additional components.

Universal Testing Machines
Installation Relays
for testing materials and components
with 1 or 2 NO contacts
The zwicki-Line universal
testing machines are available in four load capacities
(500N, 1kN, and 2.5kN, and
a new 5kN model) and three
different height combinations to suit most applications
and laboratory requirements
for testing materials and
components. These new
products are now fitted with
latest testControl system
and are designed to meet the diverse needs of both Research and Development laboratories and quality assurance environments. Depending on the model, test and
crosshead positioning speeds up to 3000mm/min enable
high speed tests or short cycle times, such as the testing of elastomers and springs. The environment system
speeds up testing by recording all important machine
data including the current crosshead position and limit switch positions - even if the machine is switched off.
This eliminates much of the setting up time encountered
with traditional systems.
The MT-PI-17S series
installation modular
electromagnetic relays come with 1 or 2
NO contacts. There is
couple of versions
available depending
on rated voltage:
AC/DC - 12, 48, 115 V,
AC/DC 24V (terminals
A1, A2 ) + AC- 230 V (
terminals A1 and A3).
Relay contacts are designed to bear high
loads. Versions with
1NO contact are able
to switch up to 16A /
250V in AC1 category
and versions with 2No
contacts - up to 8A
/250 V in AC1 category. All of these relays are equipped
with green LED diode signalizing the voltage applied
to input terminals A1 : A2.

Electronic Counter
Terminal Block
based on a microcontroller
with double-deck design
The ENDA EC762F
is a programmable electronic
up/down counter
based on a microcontroller with
two relay outputs.
The values are
viewed on a 2x6
digit display. Selecting the type of
counting (up or
down), input and
output types, sensor types (PNP, NPN, Encoder) control
output time, input frequency, functional reset input and
parameter access protection on 3 levels is made easy via
the front panel keypad. With batch counter and total
counter functions EC762F fulfils almost all application
requirements. The preset value, set value batch and total counter value are visualized on 2x6 digit display depending on the selected configuration. To provide environmentally safe products to the world, the company applied RoHs standards.
The new XCOM-System
terminal block
provides twice
the connection
possibilities for
two conductors
and two plugs.
Even
the
longer-established, "singledeck" 769-171
version offers a lot in a small space: connections for two
conductors and two sockets for X-COM plugs provide
many combinations for potential multiplication. The new
870-131 Terminal Block offers precisely twice the opportunities. Nevertheless, thanks to its double-deck design,
it requires only 132 mm across the carrier rail. Staggered
sockets are suitable for 1-conductor female plugs. Naturally there are also slots for jumpers. They are in the
same position as on other X-COM double-deck terminal blocks so they can be connected with these via adjacent jumpers.

Universal Transducer
Long Edge Cutter
for heavy current variables
optimises performance in titanium milling
The Sineax CAM is an
universal series transducer for heavy current
variables. It is designed
for measurements in
electric distribution systems or in industrial facilities. Its modular design
allows it to be adjusted to individual applications and
information requirements in an optimum fashion. The
high-performance measuring system is capable of determining the current network state, additional load by
non-linear consumers as well as the overall load of
the supply system. Consistent measurement also guarantees that every network change is reliably acquired
and included in measured data and extreme value
storage. The basic accuracy amounts to 0.1% (U, I) or 0.2%
for other variables. The programmable acquisition period and the high sampling rate make the device also
suitable for the acquisition of special input signals with
variable sampling intervals (e.g. zero-crossing controls),
altered sine shapes (e.g. phase-angle controls) or strong
distortions.
The CoroMill 690
long edge cutter is
designed specifically to give high productivity when peripheral edge milling
titanium. It is suitable for aerospace
milling applications
for structural parts such as airframes, wings, fuselages
and landing gears. Additional applications include circular interpolation from a pre-drilled hole, edging,
contouring and repeated square-shoulder milling. The
cutter utilises four edged inserts for economic 2-D profile operations. Inserts are available in grades GC1030
or GC2040 and SL geometry. The inserts are securely held
by unique iLock interface providing consistent accurate
milling. This interface also provides excellent axial support to prevent insert breakages on the bottom row. The
CoroMill 690 has a Coromant Capto design that provides
users additional stability and shank clearance, essential
when machining long overhangs and reaches. The cutter is available in diameters of 50 to 100mm.

Jet Dispensing System
Switching Device
using piezoelectric technology
simplifies installing-design and saves space
The PicoDot jet dispensing
system is a non-contact
dispensing system that uses piezoelectric technology to apply small, precise amounts of a wide
variety of fluids. With the
ability to apply consistent
shots as small as 2 nanoliters at speeds up to 150 dots per second, the system
is suitable for high-speed, high volume applications
that require many small, precise fluid deposits. The
narrow design of the valves, with a width of approximately fi inch, makes them particularly well suited for
installations where space is tight or valves need to be
mounted close to each other. Because the valve nozzle
does not contact the substrate, the Pico Dot is also a good
choice for applications where controlled amounts of fluid must be applied on surfaces that are not perfectly flat,
such as printed circuit boards. Eliminating contact with
the substrate also eliminates the need for vertical Z-axis movement and precise height positioning, which
can significantly increase production speeds.
The integrated Control and Protective Switching Device (CPS) integrates breaker, fuse, contactor,
over-load (over current, phase failure) protection relay, starter and isolator into one module. This device
has a higher compatibility than
discrete components. It effectively
saved space and removed the connection-design process in installation. CPS is mainly
applied to power system of AC 50Hz (60Hz), with a rated voltage up to 690V and a rated current 1-125A (adjustable current 0.4-100A). It could connect; load and
break current on normal and urgent situation (e.g.
short-circuit). The integration design enables CPS to have
both control and protection function. Besides, CPS has
a higher breaking capacity, a shorter arc-over distance
and a longer life-span than traditional discrete components. It could also control and protect motor load
and power distribution load. CPS eliminates the incongruity of control and protection which occurs in discrete components. Especially, it avoids the incongruity
which happens when different standard components used.

Scan Camera
Planetary Reduction Gear
available in 90° angled head housing
for rack and pinion applications
The main improvement in the new 90° housing version
of the pilot is a remarkable reduction in the camera depth.
The total depth of the camera body, including the lens
mount, is less than 42 millimeters. The pilot 90° has its
connectors at the bottom of the camera. Many other
small footprint cameras have their connectors at the rear
of the camera, which expands their total depth by 20
to 30 millimeters. Taking all of this into account, the pilot fits better in many applications. The cameras with
the new housing have the same features as the standard
housing pilot cameras. The uncompromisingly high pilot image quality and speed, compared to other small
housing cameras in the market, were also transferred
to the 90deg models.
The KRP+ gear offers rigidity characteristics, in particular
through the onepiece output pinion
technology. It provides radial rigidity
(accounting for up
to 60% of overall
rigidity). The KRP+
is rigid, necessary for
highly-demanding rack and pinion drive applications.
It is available in the 6 standard universal sizes. For size
6, torsional rigidity is 5,500,000 Nm/rad, while radial rigidity is 960,000 N/mm and axial rigidity is 6,194,000 N/mm,
substantially exceeding market standards. The rigidity
is a consequence of its design with integrated output
pinion and reinforced output bearing. The output pinions are machined to the same diameter as the shafts,
giving the optimum compromise between transmissible torque and rigidity at the rack. The output bearing
consists of two preloaded and substantially oversized
angular contact roller bearings.

Membrane Keyboard
with narrow optics and wide temperature range
with trackball
The ST680 series of handheld infrared thermometers
provide users with a wide
range of features, including adjustable emissivity, a 10
point memory and adjustable
high and low audible alarms.
There are currently two models to choose from, the ST688
and ST689. Both units are
capable of measuring temperatures from -50 to 1000°C
with 0.1°C resolution. They
also offer an outstanding
50:1 field of view, which allows a very small area to measured; typically 20mm diameter at 1m distance. The built-in laser sighting makes
targeting simple. Readings can be taken in °C or °F, and
by scrolling through the display menu, it is possible to
read the instantaneous, maximum, minimum, average
and differential temperatures. When the trigger is released the last measurement is held for approximately 6 seconds before the unit automatically turns off.
The GFT series keyboard is an
input device that is
equipped
with an integrated
optical
trackball. The IP 68 protection rating that is even sustainable in a dynamic state represents a big advantage of adding even more resilience to the complete device. Another feature is the space saving diameter of the
trackball which only measures 19mm. This, combined
with the ergonomic placement of the mouse allows the
simple and convenient cursor control, even with gloves.
One of the important attributes of the keyboard is its
robustness, guaranteed by the kick- and shock-resistant
polystyrene housing. It withstands dust and splashing
water and is very easy to clean. There are exclusive
design options for custom configurations. With its flat
shape and small dimensions, the keyboard doesn't
take up a lot of space.

Industrial Safety
Fluorescent light fittings and switches
enable safe paint production
A range of explosion-proof electrical equipment, including light fittings and
isolator switches manufactured by Cooper Crouse-Hinds (CEAG), are helping to
ensure the safe production of paint and powder coatings at a UK-based manufacturing plant.
Based in Manchester, HMG
Paints manufactures
a
range of paints
and powder
coatings for a
variety of different applications, including
commercial
transport, automotive, general industrial
and the marine
sector. The
company’s
products can be
seen in many
popular locations throughout the world, such as Disneyland Europe and the Jodrell Bank telescope and have also been used on P&O
cruise ships and Grand Prix racing cars. David McDonald, Maintenance Manager at HMG Paints comments: “I’ve worked at HMG Paints for more than 18
years now. Over the last five years, I’ve purchased
around 200 fluorescent light fittings and approximately 15 isolator switches from Cooper Crouse-Hinds.
The light fittings and switches have been very reliable.
They are very well designed, enabling us to install and
replace units very quickly.”
Production of paint and powder coatings is potentially a hazardous environment and so safety of HMG Paints’
employees is critical. Therefore, all electrical equipment
installed in these hazardous areas at the site is ATEXcertified to the required Zone. According to McDonald, 99 per cent of fluorescent light fittings installed
at the site are located in potentially explosive gas
atmospheres. The use of powder pigments in the
production of coatings means that some electrical
equipment needs to be protected from dust, as well
as paint fumes and vapours.
McDonald says there are approximately 350 original
simplex light fittings across five buildings at the HMG
Paints site in Manchester. “These lighting units are becoming less reliable but very time-consuming to service and maintain. It took me the best part of a day to
service one of the original simplex lights because I had
to disassemble the whole unit in order to fix a specific tube fault. We therefore decided to gradually replace
all the lights with new twin five-foot versions,” he adds.
In his efforts to source replacement light fittings,
McDonald was assisted by Mark Lees, Sales Engineer
at local electrical distributor Cable Systems Ltd based
in Warrington. As Lees states: “We’ve supplied CEAG
explosion proof lighting and switchgear products to
our customers for more than five years. We know
HMG Paints very well and have developed a close
working relationship over the last five years.”
HMG Paints has now installed more than two hundred
eLLK 92 fluorescent light fittings from CEAG across two
buildings at its Manchester site, and some units have
also been installed at the company’s warehouse in Scarborough.
The CEAG eLLK 92 light fittings are available for ATEX
Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 hazardous areas.
The lighting units come in 2, 4 or 5 feet lengths, with
twin lights. HMG Paints has installed the five-feet
versions. The lighting units are designed with a glass
fibre-reinforced plastic enclosure and a polycarbonate
protective bowl. The units are protected to IP66 (EN
60529). Permissible ambient temperatures are from –20°C
up to +50°C.
“Since installing CEAG light fittings, we’ve saved
valuable maintenance time and resources,” he continues. “It’s very easy to install the CEAG lighting
units and there’s so much room inside because the design is first class. And, because the units are wiredthrough, it’s very fast and easy to connect rows of lights
in the factory. I estimate that HMG Paints has saved
50 per cent on installation times by using the CEAG
product. In addition, whilst the original light fittings
took hours to install or replace, the CEAG units take
just 20 minutes.”
As well as fluorescent light fittings, HMG Paints has
also installed around 30 CEAG isolator switches, several of these custom-designed. The switches are used
on various types of drives and electric motors around
the site. The switches are used to isolate the motors
and to trip the units if they become overloaded.
Again, all CEAG switches were purchased through Cable Systems Ltd.
In addition to supplying systems and components
certified for ATEX environments, Cooper CrouseHinds also offers hazardous area equipment to IEC and

Blast Operator's Helmet
Lockout Scissor Hasps
from heavy-duty polypropylene
provide versatility and safety
The main shell of the new
Apollo 600 blast operator's helmet is manufactured from heavy-duty
polypropylene and is large
enough for operators to
wear air defenders if they
wish. External noise attenuation performance is better than the existing Apollo model, and noise from
the internal air-flow has
also been reduced. The outer cover is deep enough to
provide protection from abrasive rebound for the top
of the cape. The fixed visor, which is produced from highquality material, gives a wide view and is particularly
easy to fit, with tear-off transparent strips providing convenient protection and consistently clear visibility. The
air-flow is fed through a single hose to the front of the
operator's face, with an internal drop-down tab giving
clear warning of reduced air pressure. The cape has a
zip-fastened inner collar and is held in place with a quickrelease buckle.
Employees who use the lockouttagout safety procedure can
lock multiple padlocks onto
the scissor hasp to secure dangerous machinery, preventing
anyone powering up the machine while personnel are inside.
The 316 stainless steel scissor
hasp accepts up to 3 padlocks
from 3-8mm and can also be
daisy-chained with extra hasps
should more personnel require
entry. The scissor hasp is particularly useful when there are a
variable number of people requiring access to the safety zone or where equipment has to be locked off unexpectedly or for long periods of time. The machine can
only be restarted when all employees are safely out of
the hazardous area and have unlocked and removed their
padlocks from the hasp. In addition, the scissor hasp can
be used in conjunction with existing trapped key interlocking, providing a flexible and safe environment for
workers in industrial areas.

T-Handle Latch
Remote Area Lighting System
prevents unauthorised access
makes work safer
The DIRAK 3-145 T-Handle Latch
is designed for two separate locks,
a key lock and/ or a pad lock eyelet, giving superior protection
against unauthorised access. In
addition to the two separate
locks, an anti-vandalism device
protects the cylinder from being
forcefully removed to gain access. Numerous locking systems can
be used such as the Euro-Cylinder,
Kaba-Cylinder, Padlock, PlateCylinder, inserts or combinations,
to satisfy the application requirement. Vandals often attack a latch
at evident pry points for forced entry. With some latch designs, the
space between the handle and
housing is significant and the first
point of intrusion. With the THandle Latch design, the gap between the handle and
its housing is minimal, thus making it difficult for vandals to pry open the latch at that point.
The Remote Area Lighting System
(RALS) 9460 is the solution to prevent the most common injuries at
work, making work sites a safer,
wireless working environment.
The 9460 brings portable, secure,
powerful, energy-efficient and environmentally responsible LED
lighting technology to remote and
general area applications. Built
self-contained in a tough 1510
Carry-On Case, the 9460 RALS features two swivelling telescope
masts (each extends to 180 cm) and two 360 degree articulated light arrays. The system's combined 48 nextgeneration LEDs and dual power modes (with 2 waterproof switches) offer a beam of light of 4,000 lumens
in high power mode and 2,000 in low power mode. Powered by a rechargeable battery, the system offers up to
7 hours of peak brightness in high or 14 hours in low.
It gives the user the ultimate maintenance-free portable
floodlight station to get the job done efficiently, safely and on time. Colours available: black and yellow.

Panel Mount Beacon
Safety Shields
with static or flashing filament
protect against the dangerous spray-outs
The B100 panel mount beacon is
available with static or flashing
filament, Xenon strobe or LED
light sources and is suitable for
use in applications such as status
lights, warning lamps and safety indicators. The beacon has
pluggable terminal connections
to make installation quick and
easy, while the tamperproof lens
allows the user to change the bulb without needing access to the panel. All versions are protected to IP65 and
the LED option has much lower life costs than a traditional filament lamp, particularly in status lamp applications where the beacon is illuminated continuously.
Optionally available with an audible as well as visual output, the family includes panel mount warning buzzers
which give sound outputs up to 95dB and, when used
with the optional neoprene gasket also give protection
to IP65. All models are available in red, amber, blue, clear,
green and yellow and are a major addition to the E2S
range of weatherproof and explosion proof sounders,
beacons and loudspeakers.
The need for compliance
with the latest regulations,
such as ATEX137 and
DSEAR, is one of the main
reasons prompting many
process operators to invest in flange guards and
safety shields. These safety shields provide simple, yet effective protection from
dangerous spray-outs which can occur from pressurised
pipelines containing diesel, lube oil and other potentially harmful liquids. The shields are designed to wrap
around pipe joints, such as flanges, valves, couplings, or
any type of pipeline fitting, not to contain leaks indefinitely, but to prevent the hazardous spray which might
be the cause of fire or explosion in zoned hazardous areas, or in the event of contact with hot surfaces. The simple design of the shields enables them to be removed
during pipe maintenance, or in the event of a leak. The
shields can be simply washed and used again to provide
a safe and long-term solution. They can and have been
used to actually reduce the size of zoned hazardous areas, during the re-zoning process.

Documenting Process Calibrator
Inline Process Imager Camera
3G Routers
compact-sized
fixed into position
for remote access across mobile networks
The MC4 is a new compact-sized
documenting process calibrator.
Being a multifunction calibrator, it is suitable for calibrating
various process parameters, such
as pressure, temperature and
electrical signals. As it is a documenting calibrator, calibration
results are automatically stored
in the memory. In addition, instrument data can be sent from computer to the device and calibration results can be uploaded
from the device to a computer
using CMX Calibration Software.
With the MC4, making automated and documented calibrations of process instruments
is fast and easy. Using the calibrator together with calibration software provides a complete documenting calibration system that produces calibration certificates automatically. There's no need for using pen and paper for
producing calibration documentation and instructions
at any point of the calibration process.
The rugged, inline, infrared
thermal imaging camera provides temperature images
and profiles of
a target area.
Included as
standard is free
software that enables users to both configure all the adjustable parameters of the PI and capture (at 100Hz full
frame rate) and store images or an event for play back
at a later date - an important feature for R&D purposes. Rather than a handheld thermal imaging camera, the
PI is fixed into position in a production process or R&D
laboratory to monitor the temperature profile of target materials or objects. The camera is well suited to
process control, quality and R&D applications, across a
wide range of industries, including plastics, packaging,
FMCG, thermoforming, automotive, paper, printing,
textiles, food, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, medical
engineering and machine building.
The MRD-310 and MRD330 are robust 3G routers
designed for remote access
across mobile networks.
They provide a very high
level of connectivity, and
support many mobile standards including GSM,
GPRS, 3G UMTS, HSDPA
and HSUPA allowing uplink transfer rates of up to 2Mbit/s. Together with the
rugged enclosure, DIN-rail mounting and an operating
voltage range spanning from 10 VDC to 60 VDC, they
are designed for industrial applications in harsh environments. Typical on board (train, trucks, etc.) or ground
applications include video surveillance, SCADA/DNP3
telemetry systems and remote access to machines and
devices. The routers support a variety of wireless standards - GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS, HSDPA, and HSUPA thus providing connectivity in as many applications as
possible. For instance, for on board application they will
automatically use the most efficient network available
according to the geographical area.

Large-size Rotary Couplings
High Pressure Pumps
Level Transmitters and Switches
for drill rigs
in spheroidal cast iron
with sensitive electrode
The large-size rotary
couplings are specially
designed for drill rigs
mainly operating on
petrol exploitation
equipment. The rotary
couplings consist of two
cylindrical metal parts,
one inside the other,
where grooved channels allow fluid flow between the fixed and the rotating part, so that for instance the hydraulic oil supplied
by a pump installed on the fixed frame of the machine, can be conducted to the rotating drilling device.
In order to allow very compact design of the drilling tools,
the rotary couplings have a central through-bore of 200
or more mm diameter, for the allocation of the tool or
for the passage of large pipes or hoses. While drilling,
rotary speed can be up to 25 rpm with channels up to
150 bar fluid pressure, and up to 15 rpm with fluid pressure up to 400 bar. When the drilling tool is returning
back, no pressure is applied to it, but the rotary coupling
must allow up to 100 rpm rotational speed.
The MLR series high pressure pumps are made in spheroidal cast iron and high resistant steel, was expressly born
to provide user with high performances in complete safety. With its 160hp and the two available gearbox sizes,
1500rpm and 1800rpm, MLR Series represents an A-Class
instrument for all those who have to work employing
big jetting drain, sewer cleaning equipments and industrial big washing plants. Wide pressure and flow ranges
(form 145 to 250 bar, and 250 / 420 liters) allow this product to supply a noticeable energetic increment to water. Its alternatively sliding pistons as the whole gear, can
be operated through an electric or hydraulic motor
or by combustion engine.
These level transmitters feature a sensitive electrode in stainless steel
covered by PTFE, the length of
which can be customised according to the application request.
Thanks to their integrated electronics, they do not require a separate amplifier unit. The body withstands high pressure and high temperature. The electronics converts the
physical level of the material to be
measured in a standard 4÷20mA
analogue current signal, proportional to the level. The electric configuration is two wires,
with precision better than 0.5% f.s., after calibration.
The output analogue signal can be sent remotely by means
of modem or GSM or GPRS. The transmitters are very
reliable having no moving parts, and are usually used
to keep constant a material level, within a PID regulation loop. The applications are for steam boilers, food
industry, water treatment, pharmaceutical plants, cereal silos, diesel fuel monitoring in ground tank, or in moving trucks.

The CTA 40HS tool changer
with ring magazine now
comes in a version that allows
tool changing both 'random' and 'fixed place', without increasing the exchanging time. If tool changer has
'fixed place' management,
tools with diameter bigger
than 95mm need to have
empty adjacent places and
tool has to be released always in the same place. In 'random' management this is possible only interrupting the
exchanging cycle. In the magazine CTA 40 PF, fixed
place search and tool holder bush extraction from
magazine occur in the same time: in this way there is
no break during the exchanging cycle. It is produced in
standard version with 40 or 60 tools magazine for
HSK50, HSK63, ISO 40 and BT40 cones and it could be
assembled to vertical and horizontal machining centers,
to transfer machines and lathes. It is totally produced
using light material (aluminum and plastics) and it particularly fits to movable upright machines.

Safety Light Curtains
Modular Bellows
improved response times and distances
for protection of cylindrical devices
The SG4-B SAFEasy safety light curtains
enlarges the existing range of SG
light curtains and represents an evolution of the SE4 PLUS line, offering a Type 4 safety device for hand
protection with base functions. The
new light curtains are ideal for applications that do not require complementary functions such as muting, cascade and blanking. The SG4-B series
has been developed especially to
ease: installation (new TOP-BOTTOM
rotating fixing brackets to ease alignment), connection (use of standard
connectors, no connection between
the emitter and receiver units), configuration (no external control units
and/or supplementary cables necessary), use (alignment guided by the
double display present on both units).
The response times and operating distances have been
improved with respect to the SE4 PLUS series, positioning the lights curtains at the top of the market.
The protection of
cylindrical devices
has a simple solution - the installation of a bellows.
The bellows is suitable for the versatility of use, being
flexible and having an extended length. To meet all these
problems the bellows are composed of three parts: a central bellows and two "caps" at the ends. The bellows fit
the caps perfectly without using glue or straps, caps are
pierced to fit the diameter of the machine. The real revolution of this solution is that all the pieces of KIT are
ready in stock, and the holes on the caps are made just
before the dispatch, with the desired diameter: The result is to receive a bellows "designed" without investments for moulds. Moreover with this solution it's possible to connect the bellows with specific joints, to
reach any desired length. These bellows are made with
sought materials as: Coloured silicone, food-grade silicone, high temperature elastomers, and NBR oil resistant rubber.

CNC Controller
Water-proof Grommets
Pit Furnace
for machine management
for cable protection
for hardening and carburizing
The economic CNC controller
Power E is suitable to manage
machines up to 4 axis where
an ISO programming is necessary. It is available with LCD
display 6,5", 8,4" and 10"
with or without touch screen.
It can manage up to 58 digital I/O, plus 12 analogue inputs on board and can be expanded through fieldbus
CANopen and EtherCAT. It is also possible to remote the
LCD display, maximum 10 mt, to allow installation on
travelling platforms (10" panel version) or on a strong
case in ABS, impact resistant (8.4 mobile version) with
emergency button and dead-man-dead button. For
the touch screen versions a functions library is available
which simplifies the use and makes easy programming.
In any case, in order to respect laws on safety, all keys
which can activate axis motion, are present on the
keyboard. On the controller, there is also a USB port to
import and export files. Drivers can interface in +/10V., PWM, Step/Direction or through fieldbus using DS402
profile for interpolated axis control.
The Grommets are used whenever there is a hole on a structure
and a cable is crossing it. Grommets protect the cable from
rough and cutting edges and
at the same time give an aesthetic aspect to any installation.
Grommets are mainly made in 3
different materials: rubber (natural rubber and Neoprene), PVC
and TPE. Grommets made in
Neoprene are very flexible and
have a very good resistance to ageing, ozone, petrols.
Grommets made in flexible PVC have a particular good
and shiny surface finish and are dimensionally inert; they
are flame ratardant (UL94-HB/V2), don't break at low
or high temperature (-40 to 70°C), resist to many liquids,
ozone and UV and have a very good resistance to ageing. Grommets made in TPE have exceptional properties since TPE is a high quality material which is similar
to rubber and is recommended where resistance to
low and high temperature (-50 to 125°C) and great flexibility and elasticity are requested.
Up to 2,500mm long
shafts or vessels can
be hardened, carburized of carbonitrided in this
extremely precise
(± 5°C) big protective atmosphere
vertical furnace. A
dedicated polymer
quenching tank with
a 12,0000 liters/min
recirculation, a special semi-automatic
loading-unloading
system and a PCbased supervising
program complete
the installation. All of
the products, big or
small, serial or special, manually or computer operated,
are designed, sold, manufactured, and commissioned
completely and directly by the manufacturer.

Pressure Micro-regulators
DC/DC Converter
In-line Crimping Tool
with techno-polymer fitting
for battery powered portable applications
for better handling
The increasing demand for
pressure regulators has pushed
us to develop this new range
of pressure micro-regulators
directly assembled on the
valve outlet ports, or by means
of fixing nuts. The swivel techno-polymer fitting improves
the aesthetics and allows tube
connections of 4, 6 and 8
mm. Such micro-regulators
are designed with a by-pass
valve allowing a fast air exhaust through the unit.
The RP400 PWM / VFM
Step up DC/DC Converter
is a smart device powered
from one or two alkaline,
one or two NiMH batteries or a single Li-Ion / LiPolymer battery. It keeps
the supply voltage at a
stable level even though
the battery voltage decreases over time. It offers a space saving solution, requiring only a few small
external components thanks to the build-in driver transistor and high operating frequency. The RP400 is a successor for earlier launched products such as the R1210.
Efficiency and output power have significantly improved as the output ripple voltage and the output regulation show better results. Due to the automatic
switchover circuit, the RP400 changes its operating
mode between PWM and VFM depending on the output current demand and keeps the efficiency high at low
and high output current. Target applications for the converter are battery powered portable applications.
The sculptured baton-style body
of the B15 tool provides better
handling, high durability and
resistance to wear and damage.
Designed for comfortable onehanded operation, it is well balanced for greater control; with
the head that rotates though
340° for assured handling in
confined spaces, it offers 15 kN
force for crimping end sleeves up
to 35 mm2 and copper lug, splices and insulated terminals up to 16 mm2. Along with an integral maximum
pressure valve, the tool features automatic return of jaws
after completion of the crimp, which can be stopped at
any time to ease positioning. B15 is powered by 9.6V 2.0Ah
Ni-MH battery for improved environmental compatibility and feature a battery condition display to indicate
residual battery power after every crimp or battery
change; it is extremely quiet with minimal vibration. Supplied in a robust plastic case, it is designed to accommodate the tool, the dies and all the accessories. Many different interchangeable crimping dies are available.

Programmable Controller
Measuring Bridge Module
Intelligent Positioning Drive
for building network ready devices
for high speed precision measurement
with three communication interfaces
The FirePort is the first device server solution that
goes beyond simple network connectivity to deliver an enterprise grade,
service oriented, programmable device computing
and networking platform.
This embedded processor
module builds on our proven Ethernet control technology. It enables device manufactures and IT system integrators to add the highest versatile and agile IT control
component into their projects. The benefits of integrating networked devices into traditional corporate or
enterprise network are tremendous. A unified corporate network reduces operations costs by more effectively leveraging IT investments. Additionally, this integration differentiates a company's product or service with
increased or added value and helps facilitate opportunities such as: asset tracking, workflow improvement/monitoring/reporting, pro-active maintenance services and
pre-emptive diagnosis and fulfillment services. The
FirePort provides the high level of security.
The Varan PVAI 011
measuring bridge module is used for precision
measurements in hard
real-time. With a 12-bit
resolution, measurement values from scales,
force, pressure, acceleration, torque and temperature
sensors are transmitted within a few µs. The IP65 protected measurement value converter can be placed directly in the field level near the sensor, eliminating
the effects of electrical noise on measurements. Due to
the short length of frames, data can be resent within
the same bus cycle in the event of an error. The robust
bus system makes it possible to implement highly dynamic regulation with deterministic properties. The
user is thus provided with a safe and complete system
for fast precision measurements. The power for the electronics and sensors is supplied over the 8-pin M12 connector (2 reserve pins) with the corresponding hybrid
cable, which was designed for harsh industrial conditions.
Since only one connector is required for power and bus
signal transmission, connection errors are eliminated.
The new GEL
6111 intelligent positioning drive
from the Motionline
range
is
based on a
PowerPC
processor and
VxWorks and
is immediately available with CANopen, PROFIBUS DP and Ethernet.
The necessary plug connectors are implemented via
modules, which are connected to the main board via corresponding connectors. Preparations for further interfaces are underway. The positioning drive was designed for format adjustments in machines that have to
be adjusted to new formats during a product switch. The
GEL 6111 offers numerous functions to support the
user when adjusting formats. If machines are modernized or auto-mated it has the same functions that are
available in the original machines.

The in-cylinder S953 High accuracy linear displacement transducer uses magnetostrictive
technology to provide non-contact measurement in harsh environments. With a measuring
range of up to 7.62 m and a
linearity of better than 0.01%,
the sensor is vibration resistant
to 30g and shock resistant to
1,000g. Its rugged IP68-rated design makes it particularly suitable for heavy industrial hydraulics applications
such as steel and paper mills, materials handling, assembly automation and robotics. Setting up the transducer is quick and easy, without needing connection to a
laptop computer. Automatic gain control means that it
can be used with other magnet types, enabling it to be
retrofitted to an existing application. A mill duty housing is available to protect the transducer from physical
or environmental damage, such as high temperatures
or corrosives. Originally designed for steel mill applications, the stainless steel housing has a simple twopoint mounting arrangement.

Control Valves
smooth and cavity-free
Eliminating areas which might
increase the potential for bacteria growth such as traps and
crevices is an important design
requirement for control valves
used in aseptic applications,
such as food processing and
pharmaceutical production. Control valves which have smooth,
cavity-free internals also helps to
promote effective CIP and SIP
(Clean or Sterilised in Place) and
also aids self-draining. These
valves incorporate these features and are manufactured to
quality assurance systems certified to ISO 9001 whilst also meeting stringent FDA requirements. For example, their type 3347 control valve
has polished steel parts to ensure the highest purity for
the process medium, special PTFE bushing along with
an additional steam line connection that is used to
meet very stringent purity requirements preventing
bacteria from spreading at the actuator stem guide.

Piezometers
Managed Switches
for the oil and gas industry
for structuring decentralized networks
The P-01 is a fibre optic
pressure sensor appropriate for all dangerous
and demanding locations
where accurate measurements are essential
with the greatest safety. Using pure physics and the laws
of light, petroleum and gas companies are able to
measure accurately the flow in all sorts of pipelines as
well as liquid levels and more. The greatest advantage lays on its passive nature which results in being explosion proof. The use of light and absence of electricity results in absence of sparks and EM immunity. Fibre
optics and the Fibre Bragg Grating technology are being used in order to measure pressure ranges from 1 to
150 bars in temperatures varying from -10°C to +60°C.
The required temperature compensation is included in
the sensor, making it easier for engineers to operate it.
The standard accuracy is 1% FS. For more demanding
environments there is the possibility of customisation
under discussion with our expertises. The head of the
pressure sensor is foreseen of a thread that allows
connecting the sensor to pipelines, valves and vessels.
Thanks to the Rapid Ring connection, the generation of managed switches in the compact
WaveLine housing (protection
class IP20) are suitable for structuring decentralized, automated networks. Compact (108 mm
x 45 mm x 129 mm L/W/H) and
designed to snap onto TS35
mounting rails WaveLine Managed Switches offer a full management switch solution.
As well as the standard characteristics fulfilling specifications according to IEEE 802.3x/802.3 the managed
switches support a variety of redundancy mechanisms
- this range from simple parallel redundancy (Port
Based Trunking) through to the fast Rapid RingTM
ring network solution. Managed Switches are available as pure 8-port RJ45 versions or the version with 6
RJ45 ports and 2 fibre-optic ports. The optional fibreoptic ports with SC, ST, LC or SCRJ connectors in the multimode version offer interference-free transmissions
across distances up to two kilometres. Distances up to
120 km are possible with the single-mode variants.

Linear Synchronous Motor
Cable Cutter
for large machining centres
for heavy industrial applications
The IDAM
L2U synchronous
linear motors offer
peak loads
of 13,000N
and deadweight of
45kg, ideal
for use on
large machining centres. The primary advantage of
this motor technology is that it compensates for any magnetic forces generated between motors and magnets.
The resulting unloading force leads to a much longer
service life. In addition, accuracies are maintained for
longer periods and friction-induced heat generation is
reduced. The reduced iron content in the movable primary component further reduces the mass in the threephase motor. The lower deadweight of the L2U motors,
relative to the payload, has a positive effect for highly dynamic applications with relatively low payloads (up
to ten times the mass of the primary part).
The ICU 05
is small
and light
mobile hydraulic cutter
for
heavy industrial applications.
Its compact and lightweight design makes this cutter most
suitable for recycling and demolition purposes 'in the
field'. The cutting of (aluminium and copper) cables is
a skill of its own. The blade guide controls the play between the blades. Due to its design, the blades keep cutting straight in relation to each other, and they cannot
become distorted or separated. The cable blades also
have a special protection coating which prevents the material from "sticking" to the blades. The effect is that
the cutter keeps its maximum cutting force and life span.
Being manufactured in high-grade aluminium it is
strong but also extremely light. Not only an advantage
for productivity, it also decreases the physical effort for
the user.

Digital Gauges
Anti-fatigue Mats
advance pressure monitoring
repel any spatter and other hot metals
The digital
pressure
gauges incorporate
v a l u e added features to advance the
way you
monitor
pressure.
Attributes such as a backlit LCD, selectable engineering
units and min/max recall provide capabilities that once
required several different instruments to achieve. The
gauges are available in variety of sizes, accuracies and
price ranges to suit a broad spectrum of applications.
The commercial Type D1005PS is a 2 1/2" gauge with
±0.5%FS accuracy, while the industrial Types 2074, 2174
and 2274 3" and 4 1/2" gauges are rated at ±0.25%FS and
are available with 4-20 mA output and on-board SPDT
switches. The 3" Type 2089 test gauge tops off the
line with an accuracy of ±0.05%FS and a five full-digit display.
The Spatter-Mat is specifically designed for
MMA/MIG/ TIG and Resistance Welding operations
having a formulated rubber surface with a high
melt point of around 140°C
enabling it to repel any
spatter and other hot metals, whilst its Nitricell
sponge base is a PVC/Nitrile
rubber blend base aids the operator in that it helps to
relieve leg and back stress caused by standing for long
periods when welding. It can also minimise overall
body fatigue thereby improving the working environment for the welder and they can absorb any vibrations
that can be an irritant over long periods. These mats are
approximately 13mm thick and are available as 609mm
x 914mm and 914mm x 1524mm mats, with custom sizes
up to 22.8m long to meet specific customer requirements
The mats are provided with bevelled edges for safety
and the pebbled surface provides the operator with good
traction in the working area.
