New IR Pyrometer
MS Electronics Ltd is distributing a new product range from Accurate Sensor Technologies. AST is one of the world’s leading companies in non-contact temperature measurements using infra-red sensors. Advantages of using pyrometers are non-contact measurements, minimum or no maintenance of the IR pyrometer, very fast response and high accuracy. Product range includes single wavelength pyrometers A250, economic pyrometers E250/E450, two colour (Dual wavelength) pyrometers 450C, multi wavelength special pyrometers (AB3000/P3000),
M fibre optic
pyrometers for high ambient temperature or electromagnetic fields A250FOPL/A450FOPL, special pyrometers for the glass industry E450G-2/AL514 and pyrometers for non-metallic surfaces like wood, plastic, paper AL30/AL390, pyrometer for OEM applications (T2-250/450 and TL8). Also black body furnaces for calibration
of IR thermometers (Calsys 1500BB).
Temperature measurement is an important factor in high energy manufacturing processes.

igh speed palletising combined with versatility and easy transportation means the IRB 6640 and IRB 460 are ideal for RM Group’s mobile packaging vision. Robots from ABB have helped systems integrator RM Group to turn an innovative idea for a mobile packaging system into a working reality. Housed in 45ft articulated trailers, RM Group’s mobile packaging plant uses ABB’s IRB 6640 and IRB 460 robots as part of a system designed to provide customers with a versatile, efficient and easily transportable way of bagging products at source. Specifically designed for applications involving high capacity production, the IRB 6640 has a payload of up to 235kg, enabling it to handle extremely heavy materials. With no tail swing, the IRB 6640 is ideal for restricted spaces such as small factory floors. Running the second generation of ABB’s TrueMove and QuickMove software, the robot offers greater movement accuracy, with less time needed for programming. New features including simplified fork lift pockets and more space in the robot foot help to simplify maintenance. Now 400kg lighter, the 6640 robot is also easier to install.

Quick Disconnects Reduce System Build & Maintenance Down Time
biggest names in aviation development, designing and manufacturing a new range of more compact quick disconnect fittings with far reaching applications, including flight.
T
A safe, simple and cost effective range of couplings, they are easily integrated into any air fed automated system, offering the manufacturer the opportunity to reduce production loss of time in break down and the user to reduce production routine maintenance down time.
Constant product development adds to the range of quick disconnects we can offer. The range has the option of being fitted with an internal automatic valve,
which only allows pressure to flow when connection is made with its opposite mating part. This helps to reduce risk, potential accidental leakage and down time - we are also able to offer a customization service to help meet your specific coupling requirements.
The range encompasses a multitude models for use with a single line, right through to our 32 line bulkhead quick disconnect range. Having been designed to be repeatedly used in harsh environments, including extremes of temperature, vibration and pressure, the fittings are able to be reconditioned on site. We hold a large stock of wearable parts which are easily replaced ensuring a longer sustained component life cycle.
