Precision Fluid Dispensing Workstation Ultimus V for Medical device assembly
• Eliminates variability by removing operator guesswork from the process.
• The amount applied is determined by a combination of (1) air pressure, (2) dispense time and (3) tip size.
• To make identical dots or fill cavities with consistent volumes of material, the user adjusts air pressure to achieve the desired flow rate and then sets deposit size with the digital timer.
New micro circuit breaker
pace is often at a premium in cities and other large conurbations and designers and clients are increasingly asking installers to fit electrical systems in ever smaller and more difficult to access locations in rooms, offices and retail premises. GE Energy has developed new space efficient technologies that will enable installers to maximize the available space, particularly in apartment developments and conversion projects. Its new range of ElfaPlus Unibis micro circuit breakers (MCBs) creates 50 percent more space on a distribution board by combining two poles in one module. The new units
S offer the
option of doubling up the capacity of an existing distribution board or using a more compact or aesthetically pleasing enclosure. Unibis MCBs are available up to 10kA and are fully compatible with the rest of the GE ElfaPlus low voltage range.

Labsphere illumia®lite L
enter 828
absphere, Inc. has expanded its illumia LED and light measurement product range with the introduction of illumia®lite. The portable system packages the accuracy of sphere-based measurement in a cost-effective handheld device suitable for use on the production floor, in the lab or in the field. The illumia lite overcomes the drawbacks inherent in other handhelds by incorporating a spectrometer calibrated for absolute spectral flux and employs an integrating sphere in its design. This combination delivers more complete spectral flux measurement capability than simple illuminance meters using near cosine receivers. The ergonomic handheld instrument measures both
luminous flux and color of a device under test, including LEDs and other sources up to 1 cm in diameter. A built-in auxiliary lamp provides self-absorption correction for highly accurate results.

Durapipe PLX pipework brings warmth to Eastwood Park Prison
A
newly built healthcare block at a closed female prison in South Gloucestershire is being heated with help from Durapipe PLX pipework. Specified by contractor, Engineering Services, PLX has been installed at Eastwood Park Prison to carry fuel oil to the boilers that power the central heating and hot water system in the new healthcare block, recently built on the prison grounds. Having used PLX in many previous installations, Engineering Services knew the high quality pipework system could be relied upon for the safe transfer of fuel. The pipework was to be installed underground and so Engineering Services needed to be confident of a system that would ensure no pollution of fuel into the ground. As a result, the PLX close-fit pipe system was specified in 63#75mm to transport fuel oil from the main fuel tank on the Prison site underground to the boilers within the new healthcare block.

Vehicle wiring protection
range of PKC conduit systems. PKC conduit is made from low fire hazard Peek Polyketone and offers vehicle and harness manufacturers the critical qualities of high mechanical strength, high radiation and chemical protection as well as suitability for use in areas of extreme temperatures. PKC conduit is some ten times stronger than nylon and has high flexibility,
F making it suitable for dynamic
applications, typically found with vehicle wiring installations in areas such as the turbo engines and the exhaust systems of off-road and heavy vehicles. Its thermal properties are also critical for these types of application and Type PKC conduit has a minimum operating temperature down to -60º c and a maximum of +260º c. Available in five different outsider diameter sizes from 14.1 to 36.0 mm, type PKC conduit is compatible with all hinged and sealed fittings available from Harnessflex.
