TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
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

englor sensoric GmbH has expanded its product range for Industrial Communication to include the EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT protocols. The high performance Distance Sensors included in the der OCP range, as well as the associated Switches and Junctions, now provide for consistent communication right on down to the field level with two further protocols in addition to PROFINET. A compact housing (50 x 50 x 30 mm), IP67 protection, an integrated web server, a graphic display, location-independent configuration and minimal wiring effort thanks to PoE: the OCP range has been distinguished in the past by numerous functions based on PROFINET, and will now be supplemented with two further highlights by adding the widespread EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT protocols.

New silent, solid-state relay E
-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro- mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, has introduced a new solid-state power relay offering a noiseless relay function together with electronic overcurrent protection in a single unit, thus minimising the space requirements and the number of plug-in components. Designed for standard 4-pole automotive relay sockets (to ISO
7588), the E-T-A Electronic Standard Relay ESR10-P ISO Maxi is suitable for 12V DC on-board electrical systems, is rated to 50A and offers remote re-setting in the event of an overload trip. The ESR10 is suitable for a wide range of 12V DC systems, for example switching and protecting motors, lamps and magnetic valves in road, construction, agricultural and rail vehicles as well as for work and leisure boats, and for industrial applications in process and automation.

With ultrasonic welding technology and in-house 3D plotter/cutter, ANSMANN is able to fulfil special battery pack & charger requirements and to produce physical samples of battery pack housing without expensive tooling set-up charges. ANSMANN also use state-of-the-art equipment to provide certification & approval for every battery pack.
ANSMANN has also launched a new range of standard Li-Ion packs. These Li- Ion packs offer eleven different configurations. 2600mAh at 3.7V, 7.4V, 11.1V & 14.8V block and 14.8V inline. 5200mAh at, 3.7V, 7.4V block, 7.4V inline. 11.1V, 14.8V and 7800mAh at 3.7V.
Off-the-shelf Li-Ion batteries will reduce lead-times whilst 3D plotter technology significantly reduces the upfront costs usually associated with the design phase of Li-Ion projects.
As part of the all-in-one Li-Ion turnkey solution, ANSMANN also supply battery chargers for 1-10 Li-Ion cells. These high quality chargers use CCCV charging technology with universal wide range input (100-240VAC) with interchangeable input plugs. This range also includes chargers with EN60601 medical approval.
F
ounded in 1991 ANSMANN is synonymous with excellence in the field of batteries & battery charging technology.
The ANSMANN Industrial Solutions division configures, develops and produces customized battery packs and chargers in all chemistries.
ANSMANN have added a new building to their head office site in Assamstadt, Germany. This extension to the building provides the space needed for expansion of battery pack production lines and establishes ANSMANN as the one-stop solution for Li-Ion battery pack production.
Complex customized battery packs with individual safety board and communication software are currently in production. Designed for a wide range of applications with a number of different cell chemistries, construction of the housing and mechanical elements of each pack is also included with each of these products.
/ ELECTRICALENGINEERING
ANSMANN has a dedicated laboratory for testing Lithium batteries in conformance with UN transport regulations, now a legal requirement for the transportation of Lithium Ion cells. The UN testing procedure is designed for batteries using Lithium technology. This means that the test can be carried out on batteries from any manufacturer. Once approved, the batteries can be safely transported by land, sea or air.
The Lithium batteries are put through up to eight rigorous test procedures before being UN certified for safe transportation including; altitude simulation, thermal test, vibration test, shock test, external short circuit test, impact test, overcharge test and forced discharge test.
