TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL Inductive proximity sensors for Ex zones


0/20 heat resistant up to +140 °C S


ensor manufacturer EGE introduces IGEXH series intrinsically safe inductive sensors for high-


cameras into intelligent ITS systems, while requiring very little extra space. "Q-Board is a novelty for Vision Components: our first product that is not a complete smart camera, but a circuit board that can turn standard cameras into intelligent cameras," says Jan-Erik Schmitt, Vice President of Sales at Vision Components. "It can be connected to any conventional IP camera and now supports streaming thanks to the recently integrated FFmpeg library. This enables a comfortable and easy integration into a user's own data network – QBoard supports almost all standard IP streaming protocols, video codecs and container formats." The compact board with a size of 40x50 mm is based on the ARMTM Dual Core processor ZYNQ© with 2x866 MHz and features the Carrida software engine.

temperature applications in zone 0 hazardous gas atmospheres and zone 20 dust atmospheres. Designed to withstand extreme ambient temperatures from -20 °C to +140 °C, IGEXH sensors operate reliably even with frequent temperature variations. The rugged proximity switches manufactured from 1.4571 stainless steel and PEEK provide IP68/IP69K ingress protection. The companion signal processing unit, the IKM 122 Ex amplifier, is installed outside the hazardous area. At launch, the series features M12 and M18 type sensors, with more to follow at a later time. The sensors are connected via a 2 meter FEP cable.

Hi-Rel industries shift to jackscrew fixings for ultimate connection security


Robotics, Satellites & Motor Sport applications all benefit from Harwin’s Datamate J-Tek in high shock and vibration environments


H Harwin


arwin, the leading hi-rel connector and SMT board hardware manufacturer, has announced that several


industries - satellites, robotics, motor sport – are now preferring to specify the company’s 2mm pitch Datamate family of high reliability connectors with jackscrews, rather than latches or other fixing mechanisms, to ensure secure connection. As well as guaranteeing connector retention and signal integrity, the J-Tek jackscrew fixing is also being used to connect PCBs together in innovative configurations where space is at a premium.

Reasons to be cheerful: Herga Technology faces post-Brexit with optimism F


u www.harwin.com


ollowing the June referendum and our Government’s insistence that ‘Brexit means Brexit’, Herga Technology is taking a positive stance towards the future. As part of the Variohm Holdings Group, the UK manufacturer employs 85 staff in its Bury St Edmunds facility - designing and producing footswitches, hand controls and sensing solutions for industrial and medical applications.


With sterling now at significantly lower levels against all major currencies,


Herga’s


export book has been expanding - even in the short time since the referendum - with USA, and European customers taking full advantage of lower component purchasing costs. With the US$ trading substantially higher than £’s sterling and that trend seemingly set to continue, British exports for manufactured products that are sourced in the UK are set to thrive. As a major supplier to major medical equipment OEMs which are dominant in the USA and Germany,


adjusted costs and its international distribution support network will appeal.


UK-based OEM’s that have relied on purchasing switching components from overseas are also finding Herga’s pricing appealing. The stronger currencies have risen by an average of 10% since Brexit and that coupled with US$ linked fuel costs for long-distance shipping has meant that many UK manufacturers are being squeezed, and are turning to UK-sourcing to regain their margins.
