TDI the least complex of any gauging system
17 December, 2007 | TME Systems
With NDC Infrared every sensor and every scanning frame comes with its own built-in intelligence for higher speed and greater accuracy in measurement. This distributed intelligence is achieved by a state-of-the-art processing engine called a D-BRIC. Each D-BRIC is smaller than 4 x 6" (10 x 15 cm), yet powerful enough to run an entire gauging system on its own.
Wastewater analyser
17 December, 2007 | Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd
Endress+Hauser have launched an inline analyser for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. The new STIP-scan device overcomes the costly sampling and maintenance procedures required by historical 'cabinet analysers' since it operates directly in the process.

Emerson Process Management has announced the introduction of the Wireless SmartPack Starter Kit, a configurable suite of wireless technologies and services giving users a risk-free way to practical experience with wireless technologies in their own facilities. Emerson's SmartPack comes pre-configured out of the box to immediately form a secure, robust self-organising wireless network which customers can apply to gain experience with wireless without committing their infrastructure.
Glandless spool
11 December, 2007 | IMI Precision Engineering
Most pneumatic solenoid valve manufacturers provide solenoid valves with nitrile seals. The seals are either in the form of O-rings, disc seals or bonded to the spool then surface ground. Over the years, nitrile seals have proved satisfactory. In addition to nitrile (soft seal) valve ranges, Norgren produces a range of ISO Standard valves with 'glandless spool' technology. The glandless valves use a hardened anodised teflon-coated spool and sleeve. The glandless spool and sleeve have no dynamic seals. The spool operates on an air bearing principle that offers several benefits over conventional nitrile soft seal valves. The spool and sleeve are hardened to 62-70 Rockwell C.
Piston pump with increased capacity
11 December, 2007 | K-One Fluid Power
The B series has been added to Kawasaki's K3VL series of piston pumps. It offers decreases in noise emissions and increased control options which provide faster reaction times, at the same time maintaining precise hysteresis and stability. The series has an increased capacity range with the addition of a 200 cc pump to the K3VL range. The series is suitable for agricultural, industrial, mining and mobile remote area applications.
Electro-pneumatic pressure regulators
11 December, 2007 | Griffiths Components Pty Ltd
Characteristics for Camozzi's Digital Electro-pneumatic Regulator Series ER include its compact design in combination with the user-friendly digital display and keypads from which it is possible to read and set all relevant parameters such as zero/span adjustment, operation mode, error code, etc.
GE Fanuc single board computer
19 November, 2007 | Metromatics Pty Ltd
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems has announced the PPC9A, the latest addition to the company's PowerXtreme family of 6U VME single-board computers.
Temperature measuring instrument
19 November, 2007 | Testo Pty Ltd
The testo 925 is a single channel measuring instrument with fast thermo-element probes (Type K) for daily measurement of temperature. The waterproof protective cover, 'TopSafe', protects the instrument from dirt and knocks. The display can be illuminated for measurements in surroundings with bad light conditions. The broad range of measurement from -50 to +1000°C, and the possibility of attaching an extensive range of fast air probes, immersion probes and surface probes make the testo 925 a universally applicable thermometer.
NDC Infrared SR7I0 reflectance gauge
19 November, 2007 | TME Systems
The NDC Infrared SR7I0 reflectance gauge is a sensor designed to allow accurate, online measurement of thin coatings on metal foils or metallised papers and plastics.
Wireless industrial hotspot
19 November, 2007 | CrispTech Pty Ltd
ProSoft Technology has added its 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot to the growing line of RadioLinx products. The RLX-IHW functions as a wireless access point, repeater or client and is designed for global installations. It offers high-speed wireless ethernet communications including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and DNP over ethernet for linking automation systems, ethernet I/O, video cameras and plant network access for mobile workers. The RLX-IHW utilises orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for multi-path interference rejection, RF multicast packet filtering and dual frequency bands which make it the ideal solution for demanding, high-speed industrial networks needing reliable performance.
