he expanded functions within Wieland’s samos® PRO COMPACT PLUS module enables comprehensive motion


monitoring. Increasingly profound digitalisation and automation allows companies to respond more efficiently, more quickly and more flexibly. The progressively dynamic nature of processes and production sequences, however, also involve tougher requirements for the safety of man and machine. Against this background, Wieland Electric has upgraded its safety controller samos® PRO COMPACT and made it fit for motion monitoring. No matter whether machines, systems, autonomous


vehicles, lifts or wind turbines – wherever movement is involved, there can be no compromise on safety. As processes become increasingly automated, the monitoring of motion continues to gain importance. This can be optimally achieved using safety controllers. The very reason why Wieland now has all functionalities needed for comprehensive rotational speed, rotational direction and position monitoring integrated in its samos® PRO COMPACT.

ulton is delighted to confirm that its VSRT Steam Boiler Operation & Maintenance course has been certified by


the CPD Certification Service as conforming to the continuing professional development principles. The news follows the company’s announcement in late- 2018 that it had achieved similar CPD Certification status, but for its Vertical (J Series) Steam Boiler Operation & Maintenance course. Commenting for Fulton, aftercare and business


development manager Jeff Byrne says: “You could be forgiven for thinking that achieving certified status for the VSRT course was easy as we had recently achieved similar for our vertical steam boiler course. However, given the radical design of our double-award-winning VSRT steam boiler and the fact that it was only launched in early-2018, it took months of extra assessments to achieve.

and systems are programmed or performance data displayed on modern touch screens or control panels. On conveyors, monitors make it possible to


monitor and visualise all sorts of processes. Today, control panels or flat screens are often an essential component of modern assembly workstations. The RK monitor mounting is designed for monitors, control panels and touch screens up to 25 kg and offers


many degrees of freedom. The screen can be turned, tilted and swivelled and – if fixed to a round or square tube system – also height-adjusted. No tools required! All degrees of freedom can be adjusted separately via lever/handwheel bolts. With tilt-adjustment in 15° increments and vibration-proof locking.
