New Universal Feet Kits For Enclosures from METCASE


T


ECHNOFEET is a new range of universal case feet for fitting to any type of plastic or metal enclosure with a


wall thickness of up to 3 mm. These stylish and modern feet can be specified with or without tilt legs, making them perfect for equipment which requires a choice of viewing angles. The feet are easy to install, requiring just three holes in the enclosure panel. Each foot is sized ø30 x 12 mm high. A range of six kits is available:


• M6420104, feet kit in anthracite • M6420204, feet kit with tilt legs in anthracite • M6420105, feet kit in light grey • M6420205, feet kit with tilt legs in light grey • M6420109, feet kit in black • M6420209, feet kit with tilt legs in black.


METCASE offers free samples for evaluation.

cean Optics has upgraded its Ocean FX miniature spectrometer to now offer an acquisition speed of up to 4,500 scans per second, high-


sensitivity CMOS detector performance and integration times as low as 10 µs. With flexible features to manage saturation intensity, it is suitable for high-intensity LED and light source measurement, laser characterisation, spectral analysis of rapid events and plasma monitoring. Depending on the performance of the operating system to which it is


connected, Ocean FX can acquire up to 4,500 scans per second. This speed allows users to collect more spectral information over shorter periods of time, contributing to better results. The high speed is also useful for capturing rapidly occurring modulation of light output, such as flicker in LEDs and other sources (see Ocean Optics Application Note: https://oceanoptics.com/ocean-fx-high-speed-applications-in- home-lighting/). The powerful onboard processor holds up to 50,000 spectra in its memory and can perform averaging of up to 5,000 spectra, significantly speeding up transfer times and reducing bandwidth requirements.

Casella celebrates Intrinsically Safe approval for Apex2 F


ollowing a rigorous testing process, Casella has announced Intrinsically Safe approval for its Apex2 personal sampling pump range, with class leading


performance and capability. Instruments supplied for application in atmospheres where there is a risk of


explosion must be designed with the appropriate safety requirement critical in achieving IS approval; protecting the equipment and ensuring it is safe to use. Achieving the IS certification for the Apex2 range ensures that monitoring and analysis of dust exposure can be carried out safely and effectively in these areas. The range includes three separate models - the Apex 2, Apex 2 Plus and Apex 2 Pro, with different functionality to meet varying requirements; all designed to monitor workplace dust levels to help protect workers from developing long latency health problems as the result of occupational exposures.

Continuous level measurement even in harsh environments T


In a nutshell, this is


here is no shortage of level control technologies in the process control market, for either simple point level or continuous


measurement of the level, and perhaps one of the favourites that can do both is GWR, or guided-wave radar.


where low-energy microwave (it isn’t going to cook your dinner) signals are generated in the head unit to be transmitted along an attached antenna until they reach a surface that will reflect then back to the head unit. The benefits of such a system lie in several factors. Firstly, few substances absorb the signal, guaranteeing detection. Secondly, the waves will pass around any deposits that might adhere to the antenna, so they do not disrupt the true measurement. In addition, the antenna itself (also known as a probe, or simply a rod) is a passive component, allowing the user to cut it to the right length for the vessel. The GWR system can also ignore foam on the medium.

HBM INTRODUCES LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE BU18 BUILD-UP SYSTEM.


N


ow available from HBM is the BU18 build-up system, which has been developed to measure or calibrate large


compressive forces as a smaller and less expensive alternative to existing direct loading machines. Featuring an accuracy class of 00 per ISO376, the BU18 offers precise calibrations, even for mobile purposes. Suitable for a variety of applications, the BU18 can also be used to check material testing machines or force transducers with high precision on- site. The modular design of the BU18 offers users significant practical advantages for system assembly. All system components can be removed individually and are clearly marked for ease of assembly. Moreover, significantly lighter than any other comparable 3MN force transducer in its class, the built in system can also be easily fitted and removed by one person, offering valuable time saving properties.

ew NRH305DR rotary position sensor offers dual- redundant outputs


Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division today announced the


launch of the NRH305DR, a new o-contact rotary position sensor that extends the company’s portfolio of position sensors and offers an optimal combination of performance, safety and cost for OEMs designing vehicles and control systems. Sharing many of the same features and benefits as the


NRH300DP model launched in 2016, the new NRH305DR rotary position sensor from the Penny & Giles brand family enhances system performance by incorporating two completely independent power supplies and output channels for full electrical redundancy, operating from a 5Vdc regulated supply. With an 8mm low-profile sensor body and small


footprint, this fully-encapsulated, IP68/IP69K-rated sensor offers exceptional levels of performance against water, dust, shock, vibration and temperature. The separate magnet assembly that activates the sensor can have a permissible air gap between 1.5mm and 8mm (depending on magnet style) and can accommodate up to ±2mm radial offset to ease setup and installation.
