Hansford sensor ansford Sensors,


the leading European


manufacturer of industrial accelerometers, has launched a new accelerometer, designed for use in engineering applications where space and access is limited. The new HS-420S vibration sensor provides customers with a low cost on-line means of monitoring fans, pumps, motors and a wide range of process equipment, with the capability of interfacing directly to PLC, BMS or any 4-20mA input module. The development of the HS-420S vibration sensor meets high customer demand for a low profile and cost- effective industrial accelerometer that is ideal in a wide range of applications where space and access to apparatus is limited. Weighing just 170 grams, and measuring 25mm in width and 35mm in length, the HS-420S vibration sensor can also be used for offline applications using commercially available data collectors. The base isolated vibration sensor ensures that problems are detected early enough to allow planned maintenance intervention to be carried out with minimal disruption and cost. Protected by a stainless steel casing, the 2-pin side entry velocity transducer can function within an operating temperature range of -25 to +90 ºC and is sealed to an ingress protection level of IP67.

luke has introduced a pressure calibrator which is ideal for calibrating high accuracy transmitters, pressure switches and pressure gauges. The new


Fluke 719Pro Electric Pressure Calibrator offers one handed pressure calibration and includes a full functioning loop calibrator that sources, simulates and measures mA signals. The large backlit screen on the Fluke 719Pro Electric Pressure Calibrator displays three parameters at once: pressure measurement from the internal or an external sensor, sourced/simulated/measured mA values, and temperature using an optional RTD probe. The Fluke 719Pro is available as three models – to 30psi (-0.8 to +2 bar), 150psi (-0.8 to +10 bar), and 300psi (-0.8 to +20 bar) pressure ranges: these ranges can be extended by attaching any of 29 optional Fluke 700Pxx Pressure Modules. The 719Pro offers ideal accuracy (to ±0.025%) and performance for reference class transmitter calibration. The 719Pro features a unique integrated electric pump offering one handed pressure calibration. It allows the user to program target pressures for pumping, eliminating the danger of over-pressurisation. An easy-to-use function enables easy testing of pressure switches, while a precision pressure adjust vernier enables easy and accurate pressure calibration. Pump cleanout ports reduce pump failures from moisture and fluid damage.

Seaward HAL104 shines in testing at lighting specialists


M


artech UK Ltd, which designs and manufactures a wide range of energy efficient light fittings, has improved its electrical safety testing procedure by installing an automatic system provided by the advanced HAL 104 from Clare. At its factory in West Yorkshire, Martech has been using ten HAL 104s on stock, assembly and sub-assembly production lines to test upwards of 600 units which it manufactures daily. There, the HAL 104s perform a range of Class I, II and III tests to ensure compliance with EN 60598 and guarantee product quality,


performance and reliability, including earth continuity, insulation resistance test and light-up/load test. Function testing is also undertaken as part of a production line programme to check that units switch on/off and light correctly and that any ancillary equipment works in accordance with stringent performance criteria. The digital HAL 104s, which replaced three different types of test equipment, are fast, high performance automatic instruments which record test results and ensure accurate testing is carried out in line with relevant product standards at all times.

ensure high reliability and consistency of detection even over distances up to 1200mm. The bright spot is clearly visible and whether the environment is dusty or dirty, in sunlight or poor light, the G10 will deliver.” The new SICK G10 is a complete photoelectric sensor product family,


including


proximity sensors, retro-reflective sensors and through-beam sensors. Available in both DC (10- 30V) and AC (24-240V), and a large range of cables, reflectors and mounting accessories, the SICK G10 is ideal for a wide range of applications. All G10 sensors are available with potentiometer controls used to adjust the sensing range and sensitivity. However, specifically with a view to the requirements of logistics automation, the G10 also offers the option to be adjustment free.

Versatile air hoists for safe & efficient lifting


he range of modern air operated hoists manufactured by J D Neuhaus offer safe and efficient lifting and handling facilities for a wide range of general engineering and industrial applications. Their Profi TI hoist range has been upgraded to combine quieter operation, with faster lifting/lowering speeds while being more energy efficient as well as incorporating some lighter and more compact build qualities.


T These robust low-


headroom products have a proven pedigree for 100% duty rating and unlimited duty cycles for successful operation within a wide range of industrial and engineering environments,


including


applications in some of the harshest and most dangerous working conditions throughout the world. Typical areas of application include aircraft construction, assembly lines, chemical plants, dairies, foundries, mechanical engineering, on and offshore drilling


rigs, power plants, refineries, quarries and


mines, sawmills, shipyards and automotive plants.The Profi TI range operates from either a 4 or 6 bar air supply and the hoists in the 3 to 50 tonne lift capacity range are ideal for medium to heavy lifting requirements. For extreme heavy lifting, hoists are also available with lift capacities up to 100 tonnes. The highly versatile Profi hoists can also be used in tandem or parallel configurations to provide safe lifting for larger or extra heavy loads.
