Money saving industrial kit ideal for troubleshooting electrically noisy equipment

Fluke 87V/i410 Combo Kit Fluke is offering a money saving Fluke 87V/i410 Combo Kit which combines a Fluke 87V Digital Multimeter (DMM) with a Fluke i410 Current Clamp in a soft carry case. Saving 29% over buying the items separately, the kit offers a CAT IV 600V safety-rated, true-rms DMM with unmatched high performance, accuracy and diagnostic functions especially for adjustable-speed motor drives and other electrically noisy equipment, together with a CAT III 600V clamp meter for readings up to 400A AC or DC.

The Fluke 87V DMM has the measurement functions, troubleshooting features, resolution and accuracy to solve many problems associated with motor drives, and plant automation, power distribution and electro-mechanical equipment. It is engineered to withstand voltage spikes of 8kV and to help protect users against the hazards of arc flash. It includes a plug-in Fluke 80BK temperature probe, which can be used to easily check whether overheating is involved in a system breakdown. The Fluke i410 Current Clamp can be used with the 87V to measure AC/DC current in conductors up to 30mm in diameter.

SEALING A TRIUMPH!

pre-production testingWhen Triumph Motorcycles required a new seal within a three month lead time they turned to Pioneer Weston International, a division of ERIKS UK to develop and supply the seal.

The design and purchasing teams at Triumph Motorcycles needed help when extreme pre-production testing of prototypes of a new model revealed that enhanced sealing for the gearbox output shaft would improve performance and reliability.

Faced with the challenge of sourcing the custom designed and manufactured seal on a short time scale,  the engineers at Triumph Motorcycles turned to an organisation which not only had proven expertise in seals, but also an excellent reputation for providing a fast response

BEKO Everdry

BEKO Everdry <hr id=Besides the required compressed-air quality, great importance was attached to an absolutely reliable plant control and data transmission, as the system operates continuously and without supervision.

 The dryer is controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller). All process data is indicated at the control cabinet and transmitted to the primary control unit via "Ethernet".  The electrical control was designed in close cooperation with the plant operator, in accordance with the in-house standard of the facility.

There were no issues at all after one year, on the occasion of the preventive maintenance. All the customer’s requirements were met or exceeded, and the required compressed-air quality supplied.

"The hopes we placed on EverAir, a company of the Beko group were entirely fulfilled", commented the customer. " We activated the plant and, afterwards, we could forget about it,  so to speak."

The dryer supplies a volume of 5,500 Nm?/h with a pressure dew point of -40 °C. Compressed air which is not required for the application is fed into the general operational network for the shop air.
