Electric linear actuator
10 November, 2009 | Pneumatic Products
The integrated-motor actuator (IMA) from Tolomatic combines a servomotor with Tolomatic’s rod-style actuator in a compact package. The IMA’s integrated design provides higher dynamic performance by eliminating the need for separate motors, couplers, motor mounts, gearing and belts. The result is reduced component costs, assembly time and failure points.
Controllers with long-life contacts
10 November, 2009 | Cynebar
Watlow has developed its No-Arc technology that extends the life of relays. A No-Arc relay is a mechanical relay with arc suppression provided through the use of smart electronics. This technology reduces the amount of arcing across the relay contacts and has a life of more than four million cycles compared to relays without arc suppression that have a life of approximately 100,000 operations.

Pneumatic motors
10 November, 2009 | Assembly Technologies Pty Ltd
Assembly Technologies has introduced a range of high-torque stainless steel pneumatic motors from Deprag. These sealed motors offer starting torques of over 600 Nm with a maximum weight of 4.7 kg and a maximum diameter of 63 mm.
Zener diode barriers
10 November, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced MZB series Zener diode barriers, designed to effectively limit excess energy before it reaches a hazardous area. The MZB barriers provide removable terminals within an efficient and space-saving design - with channels as small as 6.3 mm wide - to consume minimal panel space. Additionally, the MZB series features a bussed power feed and offers both relay and solid-state switch models.
Gantry-mounted robot
10 November, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has launched its first robot combining the advantages of an articulated robot and a linear gantry for improved flexibility and cycle times.
ZigBee wireless sensor nodes
10 November, 2009 | Zigsense
The ZigSense line of wireless sensors utilises ZigBee mesh network technology as its core communications channel. Australian designed and made, ZigSense wireless nodes establish a self-healing network of spatially distributed sensors that cooperatively monitor physical and environmental conditions. Data can be transferred to standard SCADA, telemetry, PLC and HMI stations via a ZigSense communications gateway.
Gas mass flowmeter
10 November, 2009 | AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
The GF90 gas mass flow meter from Fluid Components International is designed for gas measurement applications, such as chlorinated water disinfection systems. As a solid state meter, the GF90 is designed to measure extremely low flow rates, and it is constructed of materials that make it impervious to highly corrosive, wet chlorine gas. Materials of construction for wetted parts include Hastelloy C as an option.
LEO 3 digital manometer
10 November, 2009 | Bestech Australia Pty Ltd
The LEO 3 digital manometer, from Keller, is a microprocessor-based transmitter with digital double display for pressure (top display) and for the output signal (bottom display). The display is powered from the 4-20 mA current loop.
