2009 test instruments catalogue
01 April, 2009 | Emona Instruments Pty Ltd
Emona Instruments has released its 2009 test instruments catalogue.
Inline ATEX junction boxes
01 April, 2009 | Sensor Measurement
Synatel has introduced a range of ATEX-approved inline junction boxes with five-way connectors. The Synatex connectors are certified for 1D use, making them suitable for continuous hazard (zone 20) applications.
Linear axis
01 April, 2009 | Festo Pty Ltd
The EGC electric linear axis offers efficiency, maximum dynamic response and improved rigidity. The EGC electric linear axis is now available as a toothed belt drive or spindle drive. These new axes are easily integrated into the Festo multi-axis modular system and are also suitable for both stepper and servo motors.
IP55 enclosures
01 April, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has announced a range of IP55-rated enclosures and junction boxes. The enclosures are available in 10 sizes — with internal dimensions from 100 x 100 x 80 mm to 310 x 240 x 160 mm — and incorporate a time-saving quarter turn lid screw on some models.
Burkert Fluid Control Systems sanitary mag flowmeter
01 April, 2009 | Burkert Fluid Control Systems
Dedicated to process applications that do not require local push-button programming or display, the blind Type 8056 sanitary mag flowmeter delivers high accuracy over a wide flow velocity range. The Type 8056 is engineered for fast filling applications with short reaction time, high-speed sampling (short sampling/measurement time) and high-speed frequency output, making it suitable for filling systems.
Safe capacitor discharge instrument
01 April, 2009 | Emona Instruments Pty Ltd
Seaward Electronic has introduced an instrument for the safe discharge of stored energy in large capacitors and electrically charged equipment.
Integrated pressure sensor
01 April, 2009 | Festo Pty Ltd
A pressure sensor is now integrated into the Festo MPA valve terminal, allowing pressures to be monitored directly over the fieldbus system. This high level of integration is a low-cost solution as it saves considerable time and money otherwise spent on a more complex installation.
Food-safe stainless steel connectors
01 April, 2009 | HARTING Pty Ltd
Until now, many machines and devices in the processing industries, particularly food and beverage, have been permanently wired due to the environmental conditions. Highly resistant to aggressive substances, the Han-Inox housings made of high-grade stainless steel have been developed for applications in these areas.
DC motors for the food industry
01 April, 2009 | M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
The BG65 motors from Dunkermotoren have smooth housings in order that machinery and facilities manufacturers working within the food and beverage industry are able to capitalise on the advantages of electronically commutated DC motors.
Oil-in-water measurement
01 April, 2009 | Environmental & Process Technologies
Enviro-Flu-HC is a new generation of highly sensitive submersible sensors for oil-in-water measurement. The UV fluorescence principle used for detection is claimed to be more sensitive than other existing detection principles, such as infrared scattering.
Amalgamated Instrument differential pressure transmitter
01 April, 2009 | Amalgamated Instrument Co
The WS-TPDPT7 transmitters are available in three models with selectable ranges. The high accuracy model measures ranges from 0-25 Pa to 0-100 Pa in four selectable ranges, the standard model measures ranges from 0-50 Pa to 0-2500 Pa in eight selectable ranges and the high-pressure model measures ranges from 0-5000 Pa to 0-10000 Pa in six selectable ranges.
Parallel actuator controller
01 April, 2009 | LINAK Australia Pty Ltd
The TR-EM-239 parallel controller is designed to drive two actuators in parallel. It is suitable for 12-24 VDC motors each with a maximum of 10 A capacity and in applications where parallel movement is required — for example, across a bench, hatch, door, slide, transfer, directional guide or conveyor line.
PNOZsigma safety relays
01 April, 2009 | Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP
The multifunctional PNOZsigma relay allows a smaller number of units to be used in applications that previously required the use of numerous different models of safety relay, meaning that stockholdings can be reduced substantially. The PNOZsigma relays also provide LEDs on the front that give much better diagnostic data than their predecessors, helping with troubleshooting and therefore reducing machine downtime.
Compact serial valve manifold
01 April, 2009 | SMC Australia | New Zealand
When available space is at a premium, as is often the case on machines and in control cabinets, the ability to source a compact, fully centralised, serial controlled valve manifold is essential. The EX250 serial interface provides a compact solution and can use either of the proven SV and VQC series of valves that are available in a number of sizes and flow rates. The EX250 is easily configured with digital input and digital output modules to suit additional control requirements and supports many serial protocols including ethernet, EtherCat, Profibus, DeviceNet, AS-i and Modbus. The EX250 has an IP67 enclosure rating as standard for those wet and dusty areas, which also makes it suitable for out-of-cabinet installation.
