Kontron's fanless data concentrator for SCADA
ontron presents the new Kontron Passau II, a fanless, intelligent data concentrator for SCADA and control room systems. The 2U rackmount server, which can be extended on a modular basis,
K is
designed to meet the highest requirements in electromagnetic immunity. It furthermore excels with its scalable number of protected GbE LAN, CAN and galvanically isolated serial interfaces for surge protection. These features enable its deployment in heavy current environments while also allowing for the direct control of devices with live current. The server is also equipped to protect all surrounding IT equipment against potential voltage surges on its test and control interfaces. Further application scenarios are to be found in technical facility management or in passgenger information systems at train stations as well as on trains. Kontron's new fanless intelligent data concentrator Passau II delivers reliable 24/7 performance in a working temperature range of 0 to 50 °C over an operating period of 10 years which deems it particularly suitable for applications with long-term service life.

enter 807
amamatsu Photonics introduce the new L12336 ultra-compact xenon flash lamp module, for use in compact analytical instruments in environmental, industrial and medical measurement applications.
The L12336 is the world’s smallest 2W xenon flash lamp module, measuring only 42mm x 42mm x 38mm, affording end users great design freedom. It features a built-in trigger socket, offers battery- powered operation and delivers a long lamp lifetime of 1.0 x 10 flashes, in addition to highly stable operation (0.5% CV) and a maximum repetition rate of 1250 Hz. These features make it an ideal solution for portable instrumentation including UV-VIS spectroscopy, environmental monitoring and point-of-care testing.

Lightweight miniature press force sensor has wide measuring range he
quasistatic forces. Preloaded and provided with practical adaptation options, the sensor is ready for immediate use. It comes in two different sizes which not only differ in their dimensions but also in their measuring ranges; 0-50 N and 0-20 kN. Each variant is calibrated for three compression measuring ranges; 1%, 10% and 100% of full range and can measure uncalibrated tensile forces up to 10% of the maximum compression force. The square shape and small size makes the sensor easy to install where space is limited and the low weight introduces minimum effect on the dynamic force curves. Mounting by axial threaded bores brings advantages in difficult mounting situations. The special properties of the piezoelectric measuring element mean that measuring accuracy is practically constant over a wide range of forces allowing the same press force sensor to be used for a large spectrum of forces. The facility to switch measuring ranges by using a suitable amplifier provides an additional advantage allowing for the general trend towards more component diversity in manufacturing and measuring stations.

Enersys announces first lithium-ion battery for motive power
E
nerSys has extended its class-leading Hawker XFC range with two new models, including its first concept design with advanced lithium-ion technology for use in the motive power sector. Both batteries are designed for low-duty pallet truck applications where operators want to maintain equipment availability without the complexity and cost of additional infrastructure. They can be recharged at any time irrespective of the state of charge without degrading their long-term performance or reliability. Both technologies have an on-board charger and are ideal for applications with duty cycles lasting up to 45 minutes where periods of inactivity can be used for rapid opportunity charging. This makes them suitable for intermittent or sporadic handling requirements such as offloading delivery vehicles or replenishing displays in busy retail environments. The Hawker XFC-Li is the first motive power battery concept from EnerSys to utilise advanced lithium-ion technology. It is a 24V battery with 38Ah capacity that incorporates cells with a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cathode and graphite anode with an inherently safe lithium-ion electrolyte.

Latest Kistler
maXYmos BL keeps quality and costs under control
he latest version of the Kistler maXYmos BL with its extended functionality and unbeatable price- performance ratio is redefining XY monitoring for joining and assembly processes and product testing applications.
T New features are fast data
transmission via serial Ethernet/IP and USB interfaces as well as ±10 V input. Fast data transmission also enables documentation of process data for traceability down to the individual part. The new maXYmos PC software allows direct transfer of the test record from the maXYmos BL to the PC and offers many functions for visualizing, measuring and analyzing measurement curves and process values as well as for evaluating the process
capability.The functional modern case design, equally suitable for desktop, wall or panel mounting, clear menus and practical functions add up to an easy to use monitor. The high-contrast,
together with a sophisticated, context sensitive menu that shows only what is needed for a particular function allows smooth operation of the maXYmos BL.
