NEW - BALLUFF SMARTLIGHT INDICATOR WITH IO-LINK
directing, instructing and guiding operators in nearly any manufacturing task. The new-to- market indicators increase productivity and minimise workforce errors by providing innovative personnel guidance in a variety of applications pick-to-light systems, part placement, part positions, format change guidance and many others. "Providing guidance and verification directly at the
U
point-of-use is a growing trend," according to Tom Rosenberg, vice president of marketing and engineering at Balluff, Inc. "The process improvements are substantial when operators can stay focused on their assembly tasks without having to look away for process verification and sequential guidance." The indicator line, like all of the SmartLight family of products, compliments the
workforce and transforms the work process to increase flexibility, speed and efficiency with human operators, an irreplaceable part of any agile automation environment. As Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors recently tweeted in reference to the production process at Tesla, "Humans are underrated."

NEW SIX-SLOT MODULAR USB/LXI CHASSIS FROM PICKERING INTERFACES
switching and simulation products for electronic test and verification, has launched a new six-slot modular USB/LXI chassis that occupies only a small, 1U rack-height form factor, making it suitable for portable and space-restricted rack-mount applications. The 60-106 chassis accepts from one to six Pickering PXI 3U modules; the user can choose from over 1000 module types including programmable resistors, matrices, multiplexers, general purpose relays, RF switches and fault insertion units. The chassis is USB 3.0-compatible and features a fully compliant LXI interface with
P
the option of using a Wi-Fi dongle (sold separately). Therefore, remote control via USB or LXI Ethernet is possible — chassis can be controlled through standard interfaces found on most personal computers and tablets that support HTML5.

FLUIDWELL LAUNCHES THE E126 EXPLOSION-PROOF FLOW COMPUTER
F
luidwell introduces the E126 explosion-proof flow computer for corrected gas and liquid volume measurement. It measures the actual flow,
temperature and pressure and converts it with an ideal gas formula to gas volume at reference conditions. It saves time, money and hassle; is designed to withstand the toughest conditions and is simple to use. Daily operations and plant operations for running work permit procedures are no longer interrupted and even (partial) plant shutdowns can be avoided as the covers do not need to be opened to operate, set and modify the display functionalities thanks to the through-glass keypad. This unequalled flow computer delivers user-friendliness in the toughest conditions.
Above and beyond requirements Housing
The robust stainless steel 316L E-Series housing is designed to guarantee safety. It takes the E126 flow computer beyond the legislative requirements for hazardous areas. In the harshest conditions of punishing weather, desert and maritime climates and extreme temperature fluctuations, the durable E-Series consistently delivers accurate measurements. A solid die cast aluminum housing with the same ingress protection rating is available for cost-effective applications.

WALK-IN SHELTERS FOR ANALYZERS AND OTHER APPLICATIONS
F
or analyzer and field equipment protection, Intertec offers shelter
building services that are almost unparalleled in their flexibility. Walk-in shelters of almost unlimited size and shape can be designed and produced using high- integrity composite-GRP materials. Intertec's sophisticated design and building services can even handle the most complex RIE 'remote instrument enclosure' or 'satellite instrument house' applications. The fabrication process is ideal for
demanding specifications and challenging environments as composite-GRP materials may be adapted for individual applications; for example, by varying the thickness of insulation cores, or making walls fire- and blast- resistant. Application-specific size, shape and protection can greatly reduce design and lifecycle costs. Among challenges that can be met are shelters for extremely cold or hot climates, lightweight and corrosion-resistant shelters for offshore, skid-mounted packages, and shelters for remote locations without power.
