WHAT’S NEW SP LAUNCHES BLUETOOTH ALTERNATIVE TO MECHANICAL LOAD CELLS
Straightpoint (SP) has unveiled its new single capacity Bluelink load cell that introduces Bluetooth technology to existing and prospective customers still utilizing outdated mechanical force measurement products. Bluelink is a 6.5t (14,300 lb.) capacity load cell, targeted at end users
that remain loyal to traditional equipment but who might be receptive to enhanced technology and the inherent advantages of reading data on an iOS or Android smartphone installed with SP’s free HHP app. SP, recently acquired by Crosby, is a proven pioneer in technological
advancement—its wireless load links, load shackles, and compression load cells are already Bluetooth 4.2 enabled—but Bluelink will sit further down the spectrum in applications for which a mechanical solution remains the instinctive choice but where the safety gains achieved by reading data at a distance of up to 328 ft. or 100m are of course acknowledged. David Ayling, global business development director for load monitoring
solutions at SP, said: “It’s important that we market the Bluelink accordingly. The launch doesn’t place a yardstick by which to measure the ongoing tech- nological progression of our range, but more reflects our ability to continue to provide tools for the many different types of user looking to understand the forces being applied. This isn’t an alternative to our state-of-the-art systems, but a step towards the latest wireless technology, perhaps for professionals only just beginning their migration from traditional solutions.”
Rigged using industry standard shackles, such as the Crosby G2130, the
Bluelink has been designed to minimize headroom; it measures only 6 inches or 156mm from eye to eye. Meanwhile, its compact, lightweight design does not sacrifice on strength with a safety factor of over 500%. Constructed from aerospace grade and hard-anodized aluminum, the product also boasts an advanced internal design structure. Ayling added: “The design not only provides the product with an unrivalled
strength-to-weight ratio, but it also allows the use of a separate internal sealed enclosure providing the load cell’s electronic components with NEMA6 or IP67 environmental protection even with the battery cover plate missing. Despite the fact that Bluelink isn’t a fully-specced, top of the range load cell, its qualities still suit it to the harshest industrial or leisure environments.” The aforementioned app, which is available for download and easy
connection to any SP load cell that possesses the same technology, allows the operator to log data versus time or on events such as over- or under-load, while an adjustable alarm alerts the operator on a smartphone if any overload occurs. It features an analogue load indicator on the main screen and a number of lan- guages, including English, Dutch, Spanish, Norwegian, Japanese, and Chinese. Bluelink is powered by four standard AA alkaline batteries that provide
in excess of 500 hours transmission time, and its internal antennae ensures loads to an accuracy of 0.1% FS are transmitted safely. y
WHAT’S NEW HARRINGTON HOISTS, INC. INTRODUCES MODEL HSDSB STANDARD DUTY SPREADER BEAM
Harrington Hoists, Inc. recently introduced their HSDSB Standard Duty Spreader Beam which can be used where headroom is not limited such as in outdoor construction applications. It is available in 2 through 40 Ton capacities with outside spreads from 4 to 24 feet. This style of spreader beam utilizes an upper rig-
ging spread between two lift points which adds extra stability to the lift. It is supplied with a pair of heavy- duty swivel hooks. Additional lift points and hardware are available as options. The HSDSB is engineered and manufactured to
ASME B30.20 & BTH-1 Design Category B Service Class 2 and has a specified fatigue life of 100,001 to 500,000 load cycles. All HSDSB, Standard Duty Spreader Beams are proof-tested to 125% capacity. Harrington Hoists, Inc. is a KITO Group Company
located in Manheim, PA, Elizabethtown, PA, South Holland, IL and Corona, CA. and is a leading manufac- turer of electric and air powered chain hoists, electric wire rope hoists, lever hoists, manual hand chain hoists, push and geared trolleys, overhead cranes, crane accessories, below-the-hook and material handling equipment. y
