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.

Wonderware has released Wonderware Industry Application for Packaging, targeting the needs of packaging operations in the food and beverage and consumer goods industry markets.
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.
1312/1392 shear-web tension/compression load cells
01 April, 2009 | Bestech Australia Pty Ltd
The model 1312/1392 shear-web tension/compression load cells from BCM Sensor are alloy steel (1312) and stainless steel (1392) load cells with protection up to an IP66 standard. The 1312 is also nickel plated. They can measure in either tension or compression, and applications for these load cells include hopper scales and vehicles scales.
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.
Infrared camera for fugitive emission detection
01 April, 2009 | Teledyne FLIR
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.
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.
Colour and gloss sensor
01 April, 2009 | Applied Measurement Australia
The SI-Colo-GD-40 sensor from Sensor Instruments allows both simultaneous and outside-light-independent detection of colour and gloss value. The colour value x,y and the grey value INT are determined by way of the integrated RGB detector.
