Pepperl+Fuchs intrinsically safe transmitter power supplies
07 July, 2011 | Pepperl+Fuchs (Aust) Pty Ltd
Pepperl+Fuchs has released four transmitter power supplies for intrinsically safe applications up to SIL3. The transmitter power supplies for the K- and H-Systems have each been extended to include two additional modules that are designed for intrinsically safe applications up to SIL 3 according to EN61508. The advantage of these supplies is that only a single transmitter is required to construct an intrinsically safe signal circuit for SIL 3. Previously for SIL 3 this was only possible using two separate inputs, both of which had to be monitored for redundancy reasons. Internal diagnostic functions are also signalled via a single output and red LED, and prescribed test intervals can be extended for SIL 2 applications.
Land Instruments Arc thermal imaging cameras
07 July, 2011 | OneTemp Pty Ltd
A series of thermal imaging cameras rugged enough for heavy industrial applications and compact enough for use in R&D and automation has been introduced by Land Instruments International. The Arc cameras have high-resolution radiometric imagers and field of view options that are claimed to be able to view targets at any distance with high clarity. They operate over a wide temperature range of -20° to 1000°C.
Eltra single-turn angular position transducer

NORD Drivesystems Australia has recently introduced the NORD Severe Duty (NSD) and NORD Severe Duty Extreme (NSDx3) enhanced corrosion protection coatings for the NORD helical geared motor product range.
Banner Engineering R58B Series registration mark sensor
05 July, 2011 | Micromax Pty Ltd
The R58B Series registration mark sensor from Banner Engineering provides the same performance detection and colour contrast sensitivity of the R58E, but with the addition of a simplified teach process. Teach is performed quickly via a single-click on the teach push-button on the sensor or via remote input. The teach button allows the sensor to ‘learn’ the light and dark sensing conditions, based on user inputs, and then can automatically adjust the sensitivity to place the operating threshold midway between threshold for the light and dark condition.
