Smart drive assumes local control


Enabling centralized as well as autonomous operation

requency inverters from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS can react flexibly in case of disrupted communication with a central control system. The on-board, pre-programmed PLC can take control, initiate a defined state for halting operations, or keep the application running. In process plants this can help avoid costs, for instance by preventing spoiled batches. In manufacturing facilities, material flow can be maintained. As NORD intelligent drives feature various interfaces and are able to evaluate sensor and actuator data, optimal integration in the application is ensured.


Autonomous control


capability obviously has other uses beyond fallback scenarios. In some instances, users may wish to deliberately switch the smart drive over to local control. For set-up,


testing, or maintenance, the


distributed frequency inverter can additionally be equipped with switches for manual drive direction and speed control.

Modula offers one of the most advanced picking system in the (VLM) market. It is possible to combine Modula’s industry exclusive external dual delivery picking bay with any one of Modula`s pick to light systems; for example our laser pointer system pinpoints the SKU by mapping it on an X,Y axis. The result is an increase in picking rates and pick accuracy along with higher productivity for operators between tray deliveries.


All of this is combined with the highest tray load capacities, up to 990kg and very fast pick cycle times.


Part of the automation specialist System Group, we provide high density, cost saving storage solutions from 58 locations worldwide. Offering a consultative approach, we work closely with our customers to provide one of the most cost effective and innovative solution.

the cloth washing operation. Acid washing of filter cloths is used extensively in metal finishing. A low pressure acid solution is recirculated through the filter press to partially dissolve and dislodge the solid particles that ‘blind’ the cloths. Particles in this aggressive recirculating solution can cause catastrophic damage to pumps with dynamic seals but being seal-less by design, Hydra-Cell pumps are reported to be unaffected and give many years of trouble-free service. Now, with the addition of the Q Series high horsepower quintuplex

ydra-Cell pumps are finding favour in filter press applications for both chamber feeding at high pressure and for fuelling


pumps, the Hydra-Cell range covers virtually all flow requirements for this application. Hydra-Cell’s multiple diaphragms within a single pump head guarantee the virtually pulse free oil delivery required by the filter press application.

Wieland Compactor Control Solution increases Performance Levels and Ensures Compliance


ensuring that the company complies with all the necessary standards. When new Harmonised EN Standard, EN 16500:2014, a new construction guide to the safety of vertical compactors and balers, was introduced it brought with it some challenges, with the electrical and mechanical safety of these press machines being outlined. Wieland worked closely to assist Pearce Compaction in understanding and reacting to the standard in-line with the machinery Directive for the company’s vertical balers. Pearce Compaction Systems is a family owned business that has been established in the recycling industry since 1869. Now a leading integrated service provider, the company offers an extensive range of recycling services, solutions and equipment that are tailored to suit your recycling needs.

New EN Standard means improved glove testing


and cut protection assessment


rco, the UK’s leading safety company, has published a summary of the Standard Updates within an Expert Guide,


A available online for


customers to download. The most significant changes to the Standard relate to cut protection: if during the original ‘coupe’ test method the blade blunts, then an additional EN ISO test method is required. Safety experts at Arco believe that the new cut test method is more appropriate for high risk cut environments, however, they consider that the changes in the new European standard could be both misleading and confusing for customers. Arco suggests if blunting occurs within the first (coupe) method and the glove has to undergo the additional ISO assessment, the original coupe test should be void and the glove marked with an X in place of the coupe rating.
