economical oxy-fuel/ plasma cutting system
Portable, E
SAB Cutting Systems introduces Crossbow, compact oxy-fuel/plasma CNC cutting system that
a
is portable and economical. The machine’s size and weight make it easy to transport as the application requires. Automated functions and a user friendly CNC provide powerful,
versatile, oxy-fuel or plasma
processing in a value-minded package. Crossbow is ideal for trade schools, small fab shops, maintenance and repair shops, or
for portable use within large
facilities or at construction sites. Crossbow features a fully integrated CNC, eliminating the need for the user to add a controller to the system. A simple, menu- driven interface makes operation easy to learn and use. A library
of 24 common shapes minimizes
programming and setup time. Dimensions are easily edited to create custom shapes without actual programming. For custom programs, the CNC uses basic M- and G-Code programming, and off-line programmed NC files can be transferred to the machine using a standard USB connection.

luke has introduced a new 500MHz bandwidth, 4-channel, handheld oscilloscope - the first instrument with these capabilities on the market. Targeted at industrial electronics maintenance engineers, electronic field service engineers and other professional engineers and technicians in the field, the rugged Fluke 190-504 Series II ScopeMeter® offers 4 isolated input channels which give the option to simultaneously measure voltages and current independent of the reference potential in harsh industrial environments up to 1000V CAT III /600V CAT IV. The Fluke 190-504 Series II ScopeMeter effectively offers a range of tools in one – a high performance portable scope with 500MHz bandwidth, real time sample rates up to 5GS/s, 4-channel isolated inputs for differential measurements and four meter measuring options.
New handheld oscilloscope F
It offers advanced analysis and measurement
capabilities for complex troubleshooting, using 4 input channels to inspect signal amplitude, time or waveform correlation. Use of the automatic power and energy measurements allow an understanding of efficiency and energy in industrial power systems, and inspection of voltage and current waveforms of modulated power signals. Specific analysis such as amplitude versus frequency domain spectrum, pass/fail envelope or capturing complex signals using pulse width trigger are all possible.

Latest measuring amplifier optimizes production and testing processes
H
BM has introduced the PMX industrial measuring amplifier to facilitate rapid integration in a wide variety of production and testing processes by delivering an extensive range of web-supported
operating options. HBM has developed the PMX measuring amplifier system to ensure quality assurance and system integration in industrial production and in end-of-line test benches. All production data can be accessed via a password-protected web browser interface using an Internet-capable end device. The system gives users an overview of the production or testing process while ensuring maximum security. Remote maintenance has been simplified through the reliable combination of Ethernet technologies and Internet. The PMX industrial measuring amplifier can be rapidly parameterized using an upgradeable sensor database in the data acquisition software. Measurements during start up and for quality control can be immediately visualized and recorded. HBM also supplies a free driver package to simplify integration with existing software.

Webinar programme of DAQ updates continues through to June
H
BM’s series of free on-line webinars continue throughout May and June to complement the company’s series of live technical seminars and workshops being held in the Midlands. The theme of the 20th May webinar will be to teach participants the latest tips and tricks in installing a torque sensor. HBM’s Mark Minda, who has over 20 years of experience in the repair, calibration and day-to-day use of torque sensors, will deliver the webinar. The webinar will cover every aspect of installing a torque sensor including discussions on how to mount both the rotor and stator. There will also be a focused look at recommended coupling methods along with how to properly align and balance a torque sensor and correctly use the supplied calibration data sheet.
The correct measurement of torque is increasingly
important as engineers seek to increase mechanical output, improve efficiency, conserve energy and reduce environmental pollution. Torque is important in a wide range of applications including on test stands and in production monitoring where measuring equipment is
integrated directly

ompact, powerful and versatile, WAGO's PFC200 range is now available in two new telecontrol versions (750-8202/025-001 and -002).
New versatile telecontrollers C
Suitable
for both large and small applications, they support the IEC telecontrol protocols 60870-5-101, -103 and -104, 61400-25 and 61850, including GOOSE telegrams. With an expanded temperature range of -20 to +60°C, the telecontrollers each come equipped with two ETHERNET and one RS-232/RS- 458 interface.
internet protocols are available for communication with master and slave systems.
Besides TCP/UDP/RTU, all standard They also support
IPsec and VPN in the future to provide the highest security standards. The ECO version (750-8202/025- 002) is a reasonably priced alternative for customers with smaller applications. Whilst it does not forfeit any functions, it is limited to a maximum of four modules. Any of the more than 400 modules of the WAGO -I/O-SYSTEM 750 can be used without restrictions;
for example, for monitoring of
transformer stations or substations, implementing of feed-in management for EEG systems or for controlling virtual power plants.
