FSG introduces new FS-MH series of pedal-actuated transmitters


SG’s new FS-MH line of pedal-actuated transmitters features additional sensor elements


that ensure continuous actuation monitoring and error detection, Unintentional


displacement,


thus increasing safety. i.e.


through spring


breakage or coarse dirt, is detected and signaled by means of an error signal at the output. Thanks to a simple design, the new pedal-actuated transmitters are very cost-efficient.


Manufactured from


aluminum and stainless steel, they are IP67- protected and thereby ideally suited for use under rugged conditions. Typically, they are used as accelerator or brake pedals in excavators. Unactuated, the pedal angle is 33°, while the pedal displacement is 18°. The units are suitable for an extended temperature range (-30 °C...+80 °C). They are based on wear-free, non-contact magnetic measuring systems that provide analog or digital and redundant control signals at the output. If required, FSG will adapt the mounting dimensions of the base plate and the pedal design according to customer requirements.

he need for highly accurate and dependable weighing technology throughout the food industry will be the focus of HBM’s event, “Shopping at the Supermarket”, which is being held on Thursday, 26th June, at the Williams Conference Centre. Every aspect of food production – from determining the amount of grain in silos through to ensuring the exact quantity of wine in a bottle – demands effective weighing solutions. HBM has a comprehensive range of


Supermarket shopping event from HBM T


products to meet every requirement whether the demand is for continuous operation in hostile and potentially explosive atmospheres through to very rapid packaging solutions. The event will focus on a number of different applications using HBM products along with discussions on selecting and implementing the most suitable weighing technology. The main presentations will look at the key principles of weighing technology and, in addition, HBM will have a number of different products available. There will also be demonstrations such as displays highlighting filling and dosing equipment.

Water cooling for infrared miniature temperature sensors


temperature applications. The new water-cooled stainless steel housing extends the ambient temperature tolerance to 180 °C. Delivery includes an air purge collar. With 35 mm in diameter and 73 mm in length, the housing can be easily integrated even in applications where space is limited. The sensor series provides high versatility and precision. Two spectral models each cover a wide temperature range of

500 - 1,800 °C (1 µm) and 250 °C - 1,400 °C (1.6 µm). An integrated laser sighting facilitates positioning and aiming. Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet, und Profinet communication boxes are available


for connection to the control level, as well as a model with four galvanically isolated analog outputs. Up to eight measuring heads can be connected to a single MI3 communication box.

ORD DRIVESYSTEMS supplies efficient drive units for dynamic speed control and automatic process control in applications that need to be regularly cleaned with high-pressure steam jets. Developed for strict hygiene requirements and featuring IP66/IP69K ingress protection, smooth- surface motors with an integrated frequency inverter are available for the 0.37..1.1 kW performance range. Common applications include conveyors, pumps,


mixers, and agitators. Sensor


data such as pressure or flow rate values can be directly communicated to the drives, enabling them to automatically adapt to current demand. If partial load operation is frequent, an automatic energy- saving function decreases the running costs by a significant share. In conveyor applications, light barriers can be used for contact-free or gapless accumulation. A soft start function reduces the starting current and results in less stress on the mechanical system and the transported goods.

Oven Insight 7.3 for even easier set-up of cure processes


D


atapaq provides a software update for the Oven Tracker temperature profiling system for use in automotive paint-shops, paint and powder coating, oven commissioning,


and textile manufacturing. The new


software version Oven Insight 7.3 supports real-time data export via Open Platform Communications (OPC). The open-source standard enables users to monitor and control processes through the software application of their choice. Combined with a radio-telemetry-enabled data logger, this provides control level users with a window into the oven. Process validation – often a matter of trial and error – is greatly sped up by means of a new optimization tool which helps users determine the success or failure of process parameter combinations. It can, for instance, predict the effect of 5 °C temperature reduction in the hold zone or 10 % line speed change on product quality.

RoundTrack® 60 supports bigger loads per wheel


he intra-logistics expert STROTHMANN Machines & Handling expands its RoundTrack® program, adding a new, larger system with a 60 mm rail diameter. Manufacturers from various industry sectors had requested such a solution for the transportation of heavy loads. RoundTrack® 60 carries up to 15 tons per wheel. A trolley with four double-wheel sets can therefore move loads up to 120 tons. As with the existing RoundTrack® 25 and 40 sizes, the rails vanish almost completely in the shop floor and can easily be crossed with small wheel pallet trucks. STROTHMANN does not only offer the system components but also plans and implements entire flow production lines on their basis.


T


Featuring transport trolleys that can be pushed or driven with little energy and which simultaneously serve as mobile work stations, the RoundTrack® system has many advantages over pallet trucks or overhead cranes. Completed projects include transport solutions for aircraft stabilizers, pipeline pipes, and various kinds of machines.
