LS100Ex Fibre: supremely ergonomic high-quality laser engraving on metal
temperature sensor with impressive new features
Humidity and
accurate and reliable solution for measuring relative air humidity and temperature. The precision of E+E's advanced sensor technology is combined with the latest manufacturing technologies to create a product with an outstanding price/performance ratio. The enclosure minimizes installation costs and provides outstanding protection against contamination and condensation, thus ensuring flawless operation. The EE160 employs the new humidity/temperature E+E sensor element HCT01 with excellent long term stability and resistance against pollutants. In combination with a long calibration experience, the EE160 provides a measurement accuracy of ±2.5%RH and is available for wall or duct-mounted with current, voltage or Modbus RTU output.

pecially designed for HVAC, the EE160 sensor by E+E Elektronik is a cost-effective,
highly
a pulsed 20 W fibre laser source. It enables to enhance the quality and appearance of black engraving on metal parts (steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, metal carbide, silver or brass). Now you can also engrave near-perfect copies of photos, logos and images at a speed of 1.5 m/s. Its ergonomic design is unique on the market, and it can be used just as easily for part marking applications or in the personalised product industry: this is the only laser marking machine on the market where parts can be changed via the front panel. This concept, invented by Gravograph, has many advantages: it is easier, faster and safer to use. In addition, the operator can remain seated.

Behind the Scenes at Teva with SSI Schaefer
theme at SSI Schaefer’s recent regional event hosted at Teva UK in Castleford, West Yorkshire. Delegates not only heard the numerous advantages of upgrading their existing logistics operations when combining low level automation with more efficient smart storage systems but they got the unique opportunity to take a ‘behind the
Smart Storage and Applied Automation – this was the overriding
scenes’ look at Teva’s own automated distribution centre. Teva, part of one of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in the world and the UK’s leading generic manufacturer of pharmaceutical goods despatching over four million items per day, opened its doors to show fellow industry leaders how they had successfully migrated from a labour intensive manual warehousing operation to a new automated distribution centre with pretty impressive results. With the help of SSI Schaefer, Teva UK significantly increased its storage capacity, improved overall picking performance and sharpened efficiency and customer service levels all whilst reducing labour overheads. Guests were given guided tours of Teva’s site and were able to see firsthand the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) with three cranes and 3,500 single deep storage locations that was designed and installed by SSI Schaefer alongside pallet racking complete with 21,000 storage locations, a Pallet Conveyor System, a 78 sort lane Tote Conveyor System and a Pick-by-Light System with 13 pick stations and 910 locations.

New VPU surge voltage protection devices from Weidmüller
compliance with the current IEC 61643-11 and the future EN 61643-11 standard being introduced in 2013.
W
Based on a combination of varistor and gas discharge technology, the VPU product series is primed for the future but already meets the conditions of the new international standards, so delivering sustainable protection for buildings and plant infrastructures. The VPU series enables users to not only secure their facilities, but also their planning
process. Due to its conformity with standards dating back at least five years, users of the new VPU lightning and surge protection can minimise the iterative steps for planning in accordance with the application standard IEC61643-12 and the associated re-designs. Various practical product features support installers and maintenance specialists when working with or servicing the lightning and surge protection systems. Each VPU module can be positioned in the cabinet in order to achieve the shortest route to lightning protection equipotential thanks to its 180° rotation. Also featured is a large central display window which visibly shows all the information regarding the status of the protection function.
In addition, a new mounting rail clip makes
installation easier as it can be operated without tools. It is fast to dismount - even from a module group - by simply pulling back the clip-in foot. The innovative mechanics of the clip-in foot ensure the precise removal of the VPU module from the mounting rail. It can be heard and felt when the vibration-resistant designed arrestor snaps onto the base and the remote signalling contact can also then be quickly and reliably connected using the "PUSH IN" connection system. Weidmüller delivers products, solutions and services in the industrial environment of power, signal and data in the areas of machinery, process, energy,
transportation, electronics and
device manufacturing. They include power supplies, surge protection, Industrial Ethernet, analogue signal conditioning, relays and optos, modular terminal blocks, field wiring, PCB terminals and connectors, electronics housings, ATEX housings, identification material printers and software and tools for cutting, stripping and crimping.
