Wieland Electric has developed its Multipole Connector Configurator to replace time consuming catalogue searches for those wishing to access the 1500 individual components in the revos range. Wieland's revos is a range of industrial multi-pole connectors which have been designed to provide the installer with a quick and easy solution for the installation of machines and systems.

Simple to use, revos Configurator guides the user through the selection of male and female inserts, hoods and housings, all in technically feasible combinations, making it easy to create application-specific connectors. Search and selection filters are based on technical parameters such as termination technology, pole configuration, current, voltage and conductor size, making incorrect configurations impossible.

The SNH Series from Wieland Electric is a modular system that can be perfectly adapted to the needs of the machinery manufacturer, with a range of eight operator elements that can be combined with 12 different contact blocks. In addition to the modular components, Wieland supply a number of completely assembled emergency stop pushbuttons for the most common applications.

For increased safety, Wieland's SNH Series of Emergency Stop Pushbuttons incorporate a unique contact block drop-off feature offering a signal output should failure occur if the contact block becomes dislodged due to vibration. This has an additional NO contact in series (pre-installed) to the main contacts, the NO contact opening as soon as the contact block falls off, thus interrupting the safety circuit and putting the machine into a safe position. An illuminated Stop Button also provides enhanced safety for the machine user.

Reforms and changes in the world of standards place new requirements on the construction of machines and controls. But they are also currently a source of uncertainty among mechanical engineers, plant manufacturers and users. These appear to be the reasons why Leuze electronic's safety seminars and standards workshops are always filled to capacity. The interest of the participants is great, and the willingness to partake in discussions is high. This applies not only to the safety seminars, but also, in particular, to the workshops both on the current changes to standards as well on the Safety Engineering Software, Safexpert. And it applies to all event venues, which are spread across all of Germany.

The Real Time 1/3 Octave Vocis System has the power to cover all precision noise measurement requirements. The Castle Group Pro-DX Vocis GA131M is the multi-function variant of the GA131 range, including all parameters for industrial and environmental monitoring with single and third octave settings and dual channel measurements.

The Vocis GA131M has been designed to be both functional and easy to operate. This dual measurement real time meter can handle all the sound parameters you should require and with the dBdataPro Noise Analysis Software downloaded the data to a PC for further analysis this kit is ideal for anyone serious about noise measurement.

Technological development and economic pressures can provide the means and the expectation for intelligent products to perform several tasks at once. Leuze electronic prides itself in providing intelligent products that are often rich in features, so that the equipment builder can complete the project quicker, easier and save money in the process.

The ROTOSCAN RS4-4M Safety Laser Scanner is a good example of this kind of function integration, with the additional benefits of “Motion Monitoring” and “Distance Measurement” being added to the innovative Safety Laser Scanner .All ROTOSCAN RS4 Safety Laser Scanners provide two dimensional scanning of user defined areas, providing warning, guarding, and measurement in a uniquely flexible, versatile, and efficient manner across numerous applications and diverse industries.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the new Thermo Scientific Model 60i, a full-extractive, multi-gas analyzer that features non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical filter technology to ensure accurate, precise measurement of up to six gases, including CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and SO2. The Model 60i also accommodates an optional O2 measurement capability using either an affordable electrochemical cell or, when high accuracy and reliability are required, paramagnetic technology. In addition, the unit is designed with built-in safeguards that protect the analyzer in the event of a sample conditioning system malfunction.

The high sensitivity of the Model 60i requires as little as one quarter the flow rate of other instruments, exposing the analyzer and sample conditioning system to less particulate and water for more dependable operation. The Model 60i also possesses a wider dynamic range than other multi-gas analyzers, requiring less configuration.

For process manufacturing companies, the replacement, repair, servicing and maintenance of electrical equipment that is located within a potentially explosive atmosphere, is often time consuming and costly.Today, around 65% of all electrical maintenance carried out is corrective action and 35% is preventive. With preventive maintenance, more than 50% of all apparatus serviced is not actually broken.
