DMPU defends the lifetime of motors C
ransparent labels and substrates pose no problems for the new SICK UF Next fork sensor which uses ultrasonics to sense label position precisely whether clear, opaque, with coloured or printed designs, different web materials or even foils and metallics. The versatility of the improved design is matched by a fast response time to ensure accuracy even at high web speeds, making it ideal for a wide range of packaging and labelling applications. “The UF Next solves a host of problems encountered in labelling,” explains Phil Dyas, Sensor Expert SICK (UK). “It will even detect double sheets, overlaps and two ply materials.” “The ultrasonic technology overcomes the false signals
picked up by optical sensors and this model is unaffected by temperature changes, so you really only need one sensor to cover all label types.”

Ellis goes down-Under-Ground Y
Next-generation Ultrasonic Fork Sensors T
orkshire manufacturer, Ellis has received a substantial order for its one-hole Aluminium cable-clamps, Vari-
cleats and Vulcan+ cable cleats to be installed on the Sydney rail network, which is currently undergoing a significant infrastructure upgrade. The multi-million dollar project, which is being managed by Novo Rail Alliance, is aimed at “driving safe, timely and affordable solutions to some of Sydney’s most complex rail infrastructure projects and challenges.” Once installed, Ellis’ cleats will secure three 300sq mm 33kV cables being installed in a rail tunnel that runs from the Argyle substation at the southern end of the world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge to the new Art Gallery substation on the east side of the city’s Botantic Gardens.

arlo Gavazzi has introduced its first ever range of Digital Motor Protection Units for high end motor
control. Designed to provide protection against the damage thermal effects can cause by overload; the device can provide constant monitoring of the motor, reduce costs and predict preventative maintenance, whilst increasing the overall lifetime of the motor making it extremely suitable for critical applications such as water treatment plants or power stations. The DMPU includes popular control functions such as start-stop and reverse, adjustable alarm set points are all fully programmable by the user. Housing is DIN rail
mountable with IP 20 protection and includes base units like the DMPUC-PRB (Profibus communication) and the DMPUC-MBT (Modbus TCP/IP), the measurement module DMPUC-05, the additional I/O module DMPUC-R2 and the operator interface DMPUC-HMI.

Dual supply marshalling box H
ager’s new
Klik.system dual supply marshalling box has saved Winchester hospital both equipment and time during the installation of essential and non-essential lighting circuits for its new 2000m2 outpatient’s clinic. The new outpatient’s department will have a large open plan area plus a number of consulting and treatment rooms. Using the
Klik.system dual linking marshalling box, both essential and non essential lighting circuits can be fed from the same marshalling box and also be controlled by a single digital sensor and wall switch, instead of doubling up on equipment. The sensors will
have both presence detection and also daylight linking in areas where there is some natural light and have just occupancy control in areas where there is none, such as corridors. All of the circuits are wired for semi automatic control so that a wall switch can override them where needed.
