New Adaptaflex mobile app
F
indaconduit.adaptaflex.com is the new web App selector tool for Adaptaflex electrical conduit
systems. It makes the process and experience of specifying Adaptaflex products as smooth and trouble free as possible for OEMs, contractors, specifiers and distributors. Primarily designed for smart phones to provide instant answers in any situation, the
findaconduit.adaptaflex.com App is also accessible via tablets and desktops. Using the latest HTML 5 technologies, it has a simple intuitive interface that easily guides the user through the specification of any of the 6000+ products that make up the vast Adaptaflex range of 20 different types of non-metallic and 15 types of metallic systems. The App streamlines and clarifies any attribute that may be required for a conduit including criteria such as IP rating, required operational temperature, EMC screening, fire protection as well as UV and mechanical abrasion resistance qualities. Applications for the mechanical engineering, machinery, construction, marine and rail infrastructure markets may demand specific approvals and the App guides users through the alternative prerequisites such as BSI Kitemark to IEC 61386, Lloyds Register Approval, London Underground and many others.

astle Group Ltd, a market leading training provider for over 25 years, have launched
three new dates for their One Day Training Courses in Vibration HAVS, Noise, and COSHH. The courses are designed to empower delegates with a broad understanding of each technical subject. Delegates, in addition to learning how to
ensure their staff are operating safely (and legally), also receive a free measurement device on each course they attend!
• HAVS Course - 18th Nov 2014 - Receive a free HAVI. Worth £59.95!
• Noise Course – 19th Nov 2014 – dB Alert. Worth £49!
• Air Sampling Course – 20th Nov 2014 - Receive a free Thermo Anemometer. Worth £55!
Will Vernon, Marketing Executive of Castle
Group Ltd, had this to say, “We’re very excited to announce these new dates after the success we had back in May in Sheffield. After receiving nothing but positive feedback from those delegates, we’re pleased to be able to offer these course formats to the Birmingham and West Midlands area – with a fresh set of free gifts!”
The courses are £229 each, two for £349, or all three for £449. This £449 provides you with: • Three full days training with complimentary lunches
• CPD points • Three certificates of attendance • And all three gifts (of a value over £160)

luke, the global leader in portable electronic test and measurement technology, has introduced an easy-to-use Laser Shaft Alignment tool that
provides fast, accurate and actionable answers to keep plants up and running. The new Fluke 830 performs the complicated alignment calculations automatically and provides the answers needed to quickly align a machine. This eliminates difficult calculations and guesswork associated with traditional alignment methods and reduces unnecessary replacement parts, repair time and unplanned downtime. The Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment tool has been designed to simplify shaft alignment with an intuitive guided user interface and step-by-step machine set up process. All the user has to do is set-up, measure and diagnose. The 4-level severity scale compares the machine to industry accepted machine tolerances and provides specific, actionable repair recommendations. Unlike using the
straight-edge method or dial indicators, the Fluke 830 performs the complicated alignment calculations, providing the answers needed to quickly align a machine and get the plant up and running again fast.

HVAC. The flow sensing element sets new standards in terms of accuracy and resistance to pollutants. The built-in VTQ flow sensing element based on thin-film technology works on the hot-film anemometer principle. Thanks to its innovative design - made possible by the use of the latest transfer molding technology - the sensor is particularly resistant to contamination. A high reproducibility of the sensor characteristics, fast response time, low angle dependence and excellent long-term stability are further advantages of the high-quality sensing element. The EE671 is available with cable or plug connection. An alignment strip on the probe and matching mounting flange simplifies installation and ensures proper alignment of the sensor. The flange enables the immersion depth to be infinetly variable. The measured air velocity is available as linear voltage output (optional 0-1V, 0-5V or 0-10V). The digital interface in combination with a configuration kit allows the customer to set the measurement range, to configure the output signal and to adjust the transmitter.
New Miniature Air Flow Transmitter T
he new transmitter EE671 measures air velocity up to 20 m/s. Thanks to its compact design it is ideal for mass applications in

New generation motor control platform
ABB's variable-speed drives (VSDs) since 1996 - has been greatly improved to bring even higher accuracy in motor speed and torque control, as well as the ability to control more motor types. This fourth generation DTC provides enhanced performance in open and closed loop and a higher switching frequency. Speed and torque control accuracy have been improved, for both dynamic and static values. Support for high speed motors up to 500 Hz (as standard) and absolute encoder and resolver support are provided, while other improvements include more choice of identification (ID) set-up runs. These include highly accurate standstill ID runs, allowing the drive to identify the motor from its performance characteristics without the need to uncouple the motor from the load. Drives equipped with the new DTC can now respond to changes in the customer speed reference much more quickly, with the motor shaft responding within 2 ms of a reference change instead of 10 ms.
