Marking System for Simple and Fast Labeling cables, conductors, as well as
Non-hazardous adhesives
improve health and safety
H
enkel has introduced three innovative new Loctite anaerobic adhesives that are free from hazardous substances - but don’t compromise on performance. All Henkel’s health and safety range is free from hazardous substances and declarable CMRs (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxins), meeting the stringent (EC) No. 1907/2006 – ISO 11014-1 regulations. As such, they do not have to be labelled with any hazard symbols, risk or safety phrases. The high-strength retaining product Loctite 6300 has a viscosity of 350 mPa and a shear strength of 20 N/mm². Loctite 5800 is a medium- strength liquid gasketing product, has a viscosity of 150,000 mPa and a shear strength of 12 N/mm². Finally, the medium-strength thread sealant Loctite 5400 has a viscosity of 27,000 mPa and a breakaway torque of 19 Nm.

equipment. It comprises of two thermal transfer printers and a laptop on which the Clip Project marking software is installed. The Thermomark Card printer prints all plastic labels in both card and mat formats. The Thermomark Roll version processes labels and heat shrink tubing in specific formats or endless rolls. It takes only 8 seconds to print each marking card. Both printers set themselves apart as a result of the simple operating concept. Plain text messages are output on the touch screen, which also accepts direct entries from the user. Large housing covers that can be opened on the sides make it easy to change the ink ribbon and insert the rolls of material. The marking material in the card and mat format is directly inserted through a loading slot that can be opened outward. The integrated material detection avoids incorrect printing if the inserted material does not match the print data. This therefore reduces the usage of material as well as ink ribbon. The marking system can be quickly commissioned without any additional costs as the printer is simply connected to the laptop via a USB port.

Storage Tank Vent Dryers preventing water contamination
B
rownell has extended its range of storage tank vent dryers and adsorbers to prevent the contamination of valuable products from the harmful effects of moisture. Installation of these breathers has been made quick and simple, with a direct connection to an existing breather or vent pipe. This configuration ensures the water vapour entering the storage tank is adsorbed before contaminating the stored products. A removable adsorbent container allows the unit’s desiccant material to be changed without breaking the breather pipe connection.
Furthermore, a distinctive
change in the desiccant’s colour, signals when it is saturated and needs to be replaced or reactivated. Stored products characteristics can be adversely changed by an increase in moisture content. These effects can include: reduced viscosity, lower electrical insulation, chemical stability and concentration.

equipment product line to complement its orbital welding equipment and tubing offering. Designed for portability and ease of use, the expanded product selection includes four new tube facing tools and one cutting tool. The tools are intended for use with 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, and most nickel-based alloys. Tube Facing Tools: The new tube facing tools produce flat, smooth, square, burr-free, and chamfer-free tube ends. Available in four different sizes, the tools feature high-performance, coated tool bits with two cutting edges, built-in electronic speed regulation, and a quick change collet system that requires no tools to change sizes. The new tools include: TF16 – For preparation of thin-walled tubing from 1/8 to 1 in. (3 to 25 mm) OD. The TF16 is available in both electric and cordless versions. TF24 – For preparation of thin-walled tubing from 1/8 to 1 1/2 in. (3 to 38 mm) OD. Available in both electric and cordless versions, including a 90 degree angle option.
Expanded Swagelok tool line SOLON, Ohio – Swagelok has added five new tools to the company’s
® TF40 – For preparation of thin-
walled tubing from 1/4 to 2 1/2 in. (6 to 63 mm) OD. Also available in both electric and cordless versions, including an angled version. TF72 – The largest size, the TF72 is for preparation of thin-walled tubing from 1/2 to 4 1/2 in. (12 to 114.3 mm) OD. Available in an electric version.

apprentice favours heavy engineering
atest Siemens apprentice, 17-year-old Rob Haley, knows exactly what he wants to do when he
graduates: work in heavy industry. Recruited last September as part of Siemens’ ongoing commitment to training tomorrow’s engineers, Rob has certainly been influenced by the engineering culture he has been exposed to at Siemens’ Leeds factory, which assembles, maintains and repairs mechanical drive units for many of the UK’s biggest and most successful
industries.mRob is back at the Siemens Leeds factory now, having completed 36 weeks training at Bradford College, where both theory and practical training is carried out.
Rob is currently
studying for his ONC in mechanical engineering and manufacturing (two year-course), and will then study for a further two years to gain his HNC in the same subject. On completion of his 36-week period at the college he will return to the Siemens factory, getting valuable supervised first-hand experience of engineering at work. He will then attend the college on a day-release basis.
