Blast cages
08 August, 2008 | Sykes Australia Ltd
High head mining pontoon-mounted pumps are often left in place in high wall sumps when blasting takes place and have traditionally been protected by means of a solid 6 mm canopy covering the engine.
Microwave beam blockage detector
08 August, 2008 | Hawk Measurement Systems Pty Ltd
Hawk has announced a microwave beam blockage detector. The system uses microwave energy to detect blockage of the path between a sender and receiver. The system is suitable for high-reliability blocked chute detection in bulk material conveying and transfer systems, solving the costly problems of false tripping and failure to respond, which can occur with traditional tilt switch types.
Compact I/O modules
08 August, 2008 | Rockwell Automation Australia
High-density Allen-Bradley Compact I/O modules are now available from Rockwell Automation. The additions to the Allen-Bradley Compact I/O range include new high-performance analog, digital and ASCII modules that accommodate a range of applications while conserving panel space.
Filter monitor
08 August, 2008 | Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
The type PMP differential pressure sensors are designed for monitoring filters for air and other gases. The compact microprocessor controlled units are housed in a robust plastic casing with an enclosure class of IP65.
Electro-pneumatic transducer
08 August, 2008 | Dwyer Omega (Aust) Pty Ltd
The Series EPTA electro-pneumatic transducer converts an analog input signal to a linearly proportionate pneumatic output by modulating its control valves to regulate branch pressure. All models incorporate two low-voltage valves, an integral barb filter, an analog 30-psi (200 kPa) gauge, an anodised aluminium manifold, and brass barbed fittings.
Motor monitoring relays
08 August, 2008 | Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP
The PMDsigma electronic monitoring relays monitor values such as voltage, current, temperature or phase sequence. The first unit in the range monitors true power. This provides an early warning system for hazardous plant conditions, with no requirement for additional sensors.
Fluid connectors
08 August, 2008 | SMC Australia | New Zealand
SMC has released a range of nickel-plated brass fittings. The KQB nickel-plated brass fitting has a 304 stainless steel release collar with a high-temperature rating.
Moxa ethernet switches
08 August, 2008 | Paqworks
Moxa has announced the EDS-200A series ethernet switches. This series includes both 5- and 8-port models that come with a rugged, IP30 protected, aluminium housing and redundant dual power inputs with 9.6 to 60 VDC or 18 to 30 VAC to give users greater flexibility for a variety of industrial applications.
GUI development software
08 August, 2008 | Advantech Australia Pty Ltd
The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech has released LogixView, a software package for developing graphical user interfaces for monitoring and controlling Advantech eAutomation products on WindowsCE-based devices.
Leak/overtemperature detection relay
08 August, 2008 | Dwyer Omega (Aust) Pty Ltd
The Series LDT relay is used to monitor the shaft seal and the stator temperature of a submersible pump to detect a leak or overtemperature before pump failure.
Screw compressors
08 August, 2008 | Boge Compressors (Australia) Pty Ltd
The free air delivery of the 45-90 kW oil-free water cooled SO-W series screw compressors has been improved. System efficiency has also been improved with reductions of up to 4% in the specific power required (kW/m3/min). The result across the range has been to create more compressed air more energy efficiently.
