McElroy launches the SmartFab™ 125
McElroy has released the SmartFab™ 125, its first benchtop machine which offers a smarter way to socket fuse pipe and fittings for polypropylene piping systems. The machine is portable and can be positioned on any flat surface for precise prefabrication on large assemblies.
Advanced features of the SmartFab 125 include its innovative inserts which have the ability to reduce ovality in pipe and fittings. It also has the added convenience of a pivoting heater so that it can easily accommodate fittings located on either side of the machine. This saves time since it eliminates having to reposition the entire machine. The drive handle is uniquely positioned so that the unit can also operate on the floor, making it ideal for use in the field or the shop.
“The SmartFab 125 not only expands our polypropylene pipe fusion line, it offers many superior design features that will make it easier to operate and easier to produce precise prefabrications every time,” said McElroy President Chip McElroy. “With projects

versatility in the field as well as the shop.
increasingly specifying polypropylene, it’s rewarding to be able to offer a niche product that will help the plumbing and mechanical industries do their jobs more efficiently.”
The SmartFab 125 has four jaws that adjust to any desired spacing and each jaw clamps individually which allows for a greater combination of pipe and fitting sizes. This flexibility is especially beneficial when fusing large assemblies. The SmartFab 125 offers plenty of clearance with a removable outer fixed jaw, and its rack and pinion drive provides smooth and steady fusion force.
New IQ valve actuator has optimised stem
acceptance and torque output Rotork has introduced a new model in its IQ range of non-intrusive intelligent electric actuators with an optimised combination of valve stem diameter acceptance and torque output to facilitate economical automation of valves and penstocks typically found in the water and effluent treatment industries.
The new IQ19 actuator combines a stem acceptance of up to 51mm (2 inches) diameter with torque output up to 135 Nm (100 lbf.ft) and output speeds up to 72 rpm @ 50Hz (86 rpm @ 60Hz). The combination meets the operating requirements of large numbers of penstocks, sluice gates and gate valves.
The actuator incorporates the full range of advanced reliability, functionality and asset management features, including an unrivalled range of data logging capabilities, for which the Rotork IQ marque is well known. An information- rich backlit display is the focus of attention for non-intrusive wireless commissioning, communication and multi-functional indication, including user-friendly multi-lingual menus for setting-up and configuration. Local position indication, valve and actuator status, asset management and diagnostic operating information
are available to download or viewed directly at the actuator. Diagnostic graphics present a window into the plant, showing the valve torque, usage profiles and service logs, facilitating real-time analysis directly at the actuator and in the control room. Preventative valve maintenance requirements can be identified, eliminating unplanned interruptions to the plant or over-cautious planned maintenance outages.
Reliability is optimised by the IQ double- sealed IP66/IP68 watertight and temporarily submersible enclosure, which permanently protects internal electrics from the ambient environment, even during site wiring with the terminal housing cover removed.
On the actuator’s compact and robust enclosure, local Open/Close and Local/Stop/Remote selectors are coupled magnetically to internal switches without penetrating the actuator body, further enhancing non-intrusive environmental protection. Emergency handwheel operation with motor preference is provided as standard.
Suitable for all industry standard three phase power supplies, IQ19 actuators offer network connectivity with Foundation Fieldbus®, Profibus®, HART® and DeviceNet® open systems, as well as Rotork's own dedicated Pakscan wired or wireless systems.
