The GasFindIR LW is capable of rapid scanning delivering real-time thermal images of gas leaks, including dangerous greenhouse gases such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The leaks stand out allowing thermographers to ‘see’ the fugitive gas emissions.
Inline water quality monitoring in distribution pipelines
01 April, 2009 | Westwater Enterprises
The Intellisonde multi-parameter monitoring system is a measuring device designed for direct insertion into potable water pipeline distribution networks, providing benefits including: continuous water quality monitoring within the distribution system; integration into a water utility data collection system such as SCADA; providing real-time and historical data — both alphanumeric and graphical; assistance with compliance and regulatory requirements; analysis of the distribution network; and minimising risk of contamination posed by bursts and repairs.
Profinet cordsets
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced a 4-wire Profinet cordset line that has been developed to provide plug-and-play connectivity for applications using Profinet protocols. Profinet, the fastest industrial ethernet I/O network, is compatible with existing fieldbus systems and the only network that can accomplish a line topology — especially suitable for long conveyor systems. These cordsets connect to Turck’s BL67 ethernet gateways for Profinet — which can be connected to up to 32 I/O modules per gateway — to allow smooth integration into current fieldbus structures.

Noshok’s 300 series compact-sized pressure transducer delivers long-term stability during operation and is suitable for use in general industrial applications where space is limited and durability is essential.
Rotary vane actuators
01 April, 2009 | Pneumatic Products
The VRX rotary vane actuators from Tolomatic deliver up to 54.7 Nm of torque at 100 psi (6.9 bar) and can withstand high axial loads of up to 102 N. These pneumatically operated rotary vane actuators are designed for use in material handling, part feeding and clamping, pick-and-place operations, cutting and many other industrial automation applications requiring rotary motion.
Lightweight robot
01 April, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
The IRB 4600 features a compact and lightweight design with an upper arm of aluminium and spur gears of ABB’s own design. The robot incorporates QuickMove and TrueMove, ABB’s sharp motion technology that defines precise performance and path accuracy with the shortest possible rapid cycle time.
Temperature switch with rotating set-up dials
01 April, 2009 | ifm efector pty ltd
The compact TK series switch and its 316 stainless steel RTD probe measure only 72 mm and the probe is directly mounted into a pipe. Two mechanical set-up dials rotate to quickly establish the setpoint and resetpoint temperatures. The switch’s high accuracy ensures that the setpoint does not drift and calibration is not required.
Rotary encoders
01 April, 2009 | Schneider Electric
The Osisense rotary encoders are now open to fieldbus communication including a version fully compatible with CANopen and Profibus-DP networks.
