Monitor the mini wave


luke Process Instruments announces the smallest thermal profiling system designed specifically for miniature wave selective soldering processes. The DATAPAQ SelectivePaq uses four thermocouples to take measurements from the electronic assembly as it passes through the preheating and dip soldering phases. Sample intervals can be adjusted to up to 20 times per second. The detailed temperature profiles enable electronics manufacturers to adjust their operations for optimum efficiency,


F validate the


consistent quality of PCBs to customers, and prove adherence to both solder and component temperature constraints.


The profiling system


combines a new four-channel DATAPAQ Q18 micro data logger with the latest micro-miniature thermocouple plugs and a low-mass thermal shield merely 20 mm high and 40 mm wide. It is therefore optimally suited to monitor the performance of machines that offer very restricted space and for use with holding frames. The complementary DATAPAQ Selective Soldering Process Sensor Array facilitates regular and frequent process stability measurements.

LogiDrive – high-efficiency, low-main- tenance drives for intralogistics


ORD DRIVESYSTEMS now offers standardized drive units in three highly efficient and easy-to-service versions for typical requirements in conveying applications. The line-up of LogiDrive systems enables a quicker selection of the suitable drive for a given application and allows for reducing the variety of versions to a manageable few. IE4 synchronous motors with 1.1 kW, 1.5 kW, and 2.2 kW rated power are combined with two-stage helical bevel gears for speed ranges of 0-565 rpm (size 1) or 0-482 rpm (size 2 and 3). The transmission is continuously variable in the range from 1 to 500. Distributed frequency inverters for installation on the

Fulham Technical Whitepaper Demystifies LED Drivers


A


s a means of demystifying LED driver technology Fulham, the lighting component and electronics specialist, has produced a technical white paper on the subject. Entitled ‘Lifting the Lid on LED drivers’, the paper looks at the critical issues about LED drivers and how they influence luminaire performance. The quality of an LED driver significantly affects the performance, reliability and commercial viability of luminaires. However choosing the right driver is not straightforward, because it is a closed unit. The decision is made more difficult by the lack of consistent or comparative information from suppliers about the performance and specification of the driver. This new white paper from Fulham is available to be downloaded now at www.fulham.com/PDFs/Fulham-Lumoseries-White-Paper.pdf and will be of great help to luminaire designers in ensuring they make informed specifying decisions and so obtain the right solution that best meets their design and budget requirements.

mains-operated electric motors in the rated power range from 0.75 kW to 375 kW. This extension to smaller motor sizes is based on the Regulation (EC) 640/2009 implementing Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC. In early 2016, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS already started offering motors rated 0.12 kW and higher according to IEC 60034-30-1 IE3 efficiency and NEMA MG1 Premium Efficiency. Thus,

manufacturer exceeds the legal requirements, specifically in the small performance range. These units make up the bulk of all motors currently in operation. In order to make the changeover easy for machine and plant manufacturers, the dimensions of NORD’s IE3 motors remain largely identical to those of IE2 models, allowing for retrofitting without any modifications to machines and plants. Moreover, the NORD portfolio includes motors featuring an IE4 or Super Premium Efficiency rating that are inverter- controlled by default.

luke Process Instruments has developed a miniature monitoring solution for monoblock cure processes. The DATAPAQ MonoPaq2 system profiles the metal temperature of coated aluminum bottles, aerosols, and collapsible tubes both in IBO and OBO lines. The thermal barrier measures merely 41 x 48 x 195 mm, making it 43% smaller by volume than the preceding generation. The temperature profiling system can be used in lines with very closely spaced pins (>45 mm) and with various product basket sizes. This engineering success is primarily based on the development of a new data logger with a minimal footprint. The new DATAPAQ Q18 logger connects four thermocouples via micro-miniature sockets and logs up to 32,000 readings per channel with an adjustable interval of 0.05 s or more. Its accuracy of ±0.5 °C puts it squarely in the class of the best available loggers.

VariTrans P42000 TRMS: True RMS value measurement for voltages up to 3600 V AC


nick Elektronische Messgeräte (www.knick.de) is a globally recognized manufacturer of high quality signal, sensor, current and voltage measurement devices for utility, rail, ship, and other rugged environments. With the announcement of their series P42000 TRMS, Knick has defined a completely new class of AC/DC transducers for true RMS values. Input voltages ranging from 10 to 3600 V AC can be safely measured and converted to standard DC analog signals (0…20 mA, 4…20 mA, 0…10 V). These robust transducers are available with up to 16 different I/O settings as well as the capability to be customized with fixed input and outputs for voltages anywhere between 10 and 3.6 kV AC. Thanks to internal TRMS conversion even distorted and non-sinusoidal input signals, that usually cause serious measurement errors, are correctly identified and transmitted.
