Fortress Interlocks joins Machine Safety Alliance
afety Interlocking company Fortress Interlocks is a member of the Machine Safety Alliance with Festo, Pilz Automation Technology, Engineering,
S and Werma. Troax, UK The Machine Safety
Alliance aims to share its collective knowledge and expertise to help machine builders and users make sense of safety and safeguard their productivity. The withdrawal of safety standard EN 954-1 means that EN ISO 13849 will become the most widely used standard for the design, verification and validations of the safety related parts of control systems.
The
Machine Safety Alliance brings together experts of the collective technologies under one roof to provide comprehensive safety knowledge that is more readily accessible. Fortress Interlocks is a leader in access and control safety systems,
manufacturing safety interlocking systems,
key, key exchange, solenoid and non-solenoid guard switches and modular control devices that ensure safety by action in a pre-determined sequence.
The
Machine Safety Alliance has organised a series of seminars at various venues across the UK which will focus on real-world applications of various technologies and the application of EN ISO 13849-1 and other safety-relevant standards.

CFW piezoelectric force washers H

BM has launched a series of pre-stressing sets for its CFW piezoelectric force washers to simplify integration of the
transducer into an application. Piezoelectric force transducers always need to be mounted pre-stressed and this could only be previously achieved by using and in-house pre-stressing element. This approach is no longer necessary saving the end user time and costs. The pre-stressing sets comprise a bolt, nut and appropriate washer. All parts are made of stainless steel to ensure permanently uniform pre-stressing and high resistance against environmental
factors. The bolts and nuts have appropriate bolt pitches to set the pre-stressing force as precisely as necessary. The bolts are hardened with extremely good creep characteristics so that pre-stressing remains constant after installation. HBM’s compact and robust CFW piezoelectric force washers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including presses, tool machines or in production monitoring. HBM provides a comprehensive range of equipment for piezoelectric force measurements such as measurement leads, measuring amplifiers, data acquisition devices and software.

longer an issue with the JSP Typhoon Mask’s unique valve system
J
SP’s disposable Typhoon valve fold flat mask has a unique overflow valve system that creates minimal breathing resistance and reduces internal heat, CO2 and moisture build-up, allowing the mask to be worn for
long periods without tiring the wearer. The
horizontal foldable shape of the Typhoon mask offers both close, secure fitting and clear vision, while being convenient and easy to use. The valve is designed to allow for a large volume of air to escape through a diaphragm, resulting in minimal breathing resistance and low retention of CO2, heat and moisture. A 360° comfort foam area around the inside of the mask provides an excellent fit factor and prevents misting, aided by a welded nose piece, which prevents irritation and misshaping and a latex-free adjustable strap so that the mask can be fitted comfortably to all head sizes and shapes. The distinctive valve ensures that when the diaphragm opens, exhaled air, that would normally be trapped under the upper section of the cage obstructing further exhalation, can escape through additional overflow vents,
assuring unrivalled minimum breathing resistance.
