SICK Adds Safe Network Integration to Its microScan3 Safety Laser Scanners


Theorem’s latest Creo-NX CADverter supports Creo 4.0 and NX 11


T


heorem Solutions are pleased to announce the release of their latest CADverter for Creo to NX. V20.3 supports Creo 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 as well as NX 9.0,


NX 10 and NX 11. This uni-directional CADverter can also be licensed with


Theorem’s NX-Creo CADverter to create a bi-directional translator. Additional features and benefits included in V20.3


include support for assembly occurrences and the reading of PMI attributes. CADverter products translate assembly structure,


geometry, attributes and, where available, 3D Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and Metadata between Creo and NX, supporting Model Based Definition (MBD) processes. Creo and NX data can now also be further utilised in


Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality using Theorem’s Visualization Experiences App for Digital Realities.

EtherNet/IPTM and PROFINET compatible variants to enable easy integration of safety laser scanners into a safe network. This also facilitates simultaneous field evaluation of up to four fields, instead of the single field offered by standard I/O scanners. The SICK microScan3 Core – EtherNet/IP™


S


is the first safety laser scanner to support CIP Safety™ over EtherNet/IP™ and the microScan3 Core – PROFINET enables safe and reliable bus communication using the PROFIsafe protocol over PROFINET. When it was launched in 2016, the


compact and robust SICK microScan3 safety laser scanner set a new benchmark for performance reliability with its market- leading safeHDDM™ (High Definition Distance Measurement) scanning technology. Its patented algorithms use multi-signal evaluation to achieve outstanding performance even in challenging environments with robust resistance to dust, dirt, and high-ambient light conditions even when detecting objects with low remissions, for example black clothing. Integrating the new microScan3 scanners into existing safe controllers and control cabinets is straightforward


and the scanners can be configured over the network quickly for ease of set up and rapid device replacement. The safety laser scanners are protected against unauthorised manipulation in service by transmitting a


checksum of the safety configuration, which allows users to detect and trace any unauthorised changes made to the device. This gives peace of mind that applications continue to be safe in the field. SICK microScan3 has a lightweight, rugged metal housing with vibration resistant brackets, enabling easy


installation and adjustment. M12, 8-pin connectors, mini USB interface and system plug with integrated configuration memory ensure simple, low cost, smart connectivity.

ICK has expanded its next-generation microScan3 family with the addition of


nickers’ new ALLROUND Tool Vest is the ultimate in tool-carrying technology. Versatile and adjustable, the ergonomic design features a wide range of


hard-wearing pockets for a variety of tools fixings and accessories. It’s lightweight, hard-wearing, comfortable and easy to keep clean. The Tool Vest’s ergonomic comfort also looks after your back by providing


for comfortable heavy tool carrying through the specially designed wide shoulders, elasticated back and an integral waist belt to take pressure off your shoulders. It comes with Cordura® 500 reinforced front holster pockets for enhanced


durability and easy-access angled rear holster pockets. There’s also Cordura® reinforced breast pockets plus a knife fastener, an easy-access padded mobile phone compartment and detachable ID badge. What’s more, the integrated internal expander means the tool vest can be easily expanded and worn over a jacket in colder weather.

The new driver is ideal for use in linear and panel luminaires in offices and healthcare facilities for direct and indirect lighting applications and simple tunable white solutions are also possible. The LCA 50W 350–1050mA 2xCH lp PRE LED driver has an output


Two drivers, one housing T


of 50W and accommodates two channels within its housing. For each channel the output currents can be set separately between 350 and 1,050 mA, either via I-select 2 plugs or DALI. The integrated one4all interface supports DALI DT6, DSI, switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION V2. The driver is also equipped with a proportionSwitch interface. While preset dimming levels for the connected luminaires can be easily selected with a pushbutton via switchDIM. different predefined dimming levels are available for each channel via proportionSwitch.

CONNECTINGINDUSTRY.COM/ELECTRICALENGINEERING


announce a 50% expansion of its UK cable assembly service. This significant investment is part of an initiative the company has undertaken to support the growing manufacturing trend for OEM’s to outsource their non-core connector termination activities. LEMO’s aim is to provide its UK customers with increased value by means of offering them a complete cable design and manufacturing service. The objective of this service is to provide customers with bespoke engineered solutions, tailored to specific system requirements and optimised for both performance and manufacturing from the outset. This approach ensures that product costs along with assembly and project lead-times are minimised, without the need for compromises in either performance or quality. Furthermore, LEMO (UK) can also offer its customers an “in-house” bespoke cable manufacturing service through its sister company, Northwire. Typical end markets for the cable assemblies produced by LEMO (UK) Ltd include, but are not limited to: Broadcast, Medical, Motor Sport, Defence, Test & Measurement and Nuclear.
