North Yorkshire designed, developed and manufactured 2A Aluminium cable clamps to secure high voltage (HV) power cables in vital new substations in the Manchay and Izaquirre areas of Lima. Manufactured from LM6 Aluminium, Ellis’ 2A Aluminium cable clamps are available in sizes ranging from 38mm to 168mm, and are primarily used in transmission and distribution projects in unpolluted environments. They can also be supplied with an epoxy coating for use in harsher environments, and LSF polymeric liners for additional cable protection. Both Luz del Sur and ENEL Distribución specified the 2A clamps with the liners fitted. Ellis’ export operation comprises an ever-growing
network of local distributors, which currently covers 40 countries, and sees them actively exporting into 45.

Marshall-Tufflex achieves UK business hero award L
eading manufacturer of cable management systems, Marshall-Tufflex, has been recognised by the British
Chambers of Commerce as a ‘UK Business Hero’ for its immediate response to meet demand for its antimicrobial trunking for the emergency NHS Nightingale Hospitals. Launched in early October by the British Chambers of Commerce, the UK Business Heroes campaign recognises the incredible work that UK businesses have undertaken to combat the challenges presented by COVID-19. Marshall-Tufflex was nominated by Ana Christie,
CEO of Sussex Chamber of Commerce, for its work on the emergency NHS Nightingale Hospitals, which were created in response to the pandemic breakout. The Hastings based manufacturer was approached
to supply its anti-microbial cable trunking for the facilities, which uses a silver ion solution that disrupts key cell functions of bacteria and prevents them from reproducing – meaning 99.9% of harmful bacteria will not survive on the surface.
SCHOTT launches new ColdVision MC-LS LED light source
High light output and slim design for stereo microscopy and machine vision W
ith the ColdVision MC-LS, the SCHOTT technology group has
developed a LED light source that combines a maximum light output of 850 lumens with easy operation in a compact housing. New features such as a USB port and legacy analog inputs enable the light source to be controlled remotely. Compatibility with all SCHOTT ColdVision series light guides ensures homogeneous illumination and a wide range of applications
"With the MC-LS, we have succeeded

in developing a light source that covers all standards of stereo microscopy, material science, and machine vision applications at an attractive price,” says Dr. Werner Sklarek, senior product manager Industrial at SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging. “To achieve this, we focused on high light quality and essential features."
The user benefits from a stable light output with a constant color temperature of 5400 kelvin. A low
energy consumption of 60 watts and service life of 50,000 maintenance-free operating hours not only save operational costs but also reduce downtime from lamp replacements. The brightness of the LED source can be continuously dimmed via a potentiometer. The user is no longer affected by “halogen glow” or color shifts that are typical when using traditional halogen sources at low light levels.
Connections that make a difference In addition to a 9-pin connector for analog control, an integrated USB port and RS232 interface provide accurate and digital remote control of the MC-LS. The light source can help streamline processes because important settings can be controlled remotely and integrated into application software. This allows the user to switch the light source on and off remotely, set the brightness between 0 and 100 percent, and read out data automatically.
electricalengineeringmagazine.co.uk To meet the immense volumes and urgency, Marshall-
Tufflex completely changed its manufacturing and distribution operation, with the factory running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and factory teams working additional hours and over weekends to deliver the required quantities. To put demand for the product in perspective, average use of the Bio ingredient was around three tonnes every year. During a three-week period at the height of demand, over 40 tonnes was used. The logistics team also transformed its procedures, with multiple drops required per day to meet demand for flexible and urgent deliveries with many the same day, as well as a delivery to one site at 2am following the order just 12 hours earlier. Due to this immense undertaking to make this
urgent delivery possible, the British Chambers of Commerce has named Marshall-Tufflex a UK Business Hero 2020 for its incredible contributions.
