THERMAL IMAGING AND FURNACE SURVEYS IN THE STEEL AND METALS INDUSTRY
F
luke Process Instruments offers a comprehensive range of temperature
monitoring solutions for primary and secondary metals manufacturing. The company has just introduced ThermoView TV40 thermal imagers with an integrated visible-light camera. Designed for fixed installation, this new
series is ideal for iron foundries where the imagers check temperatures of molten metal and monitor ladles to ensure that the refractory lining is intact. Users can define various areas of interest with distinct alarm conditions. The analysis software enables easy traceability for each melt. Fluke Process Instruments furthermore offers temperature profiling solutions for downstream steel and metals processing. The Datapaq Furnace Tracker based on the Datapaq TP3 data logger with up to 20 measurement channels enables furnace surveys according to NADCAP AMS 2750E and CQI-9. The systems include analysis and reporting software, thermocouples, and thermal barriers for maximum protection at high temperatures up to 1200 °C. They are also used for in-process product temperature profiling.

EVATRON DESKTOPS T
he ABOX series of desk consoles with inclined operating area are
specifically designed for indoor equipment in industrial, medical, data control, test and management applications. The instrument enclosure is
moulded in high quality light grey ABS and can withstand temperatures up to 85ºC. The sloped and angled aluminium
panels of the console enclosure allow for easy display mounting and the bosses and slots in the enclosure base suit multiple options for PCB mounting. The desktop enclosures are supplied with lid, base, silver anodised aluminium panel,
fixing screws and non-slip feet. All console enclosures and instruments enclosures can be customised to your
requirements including CNC machining, silk screening and EMI/RFI shielding. Contact

POSITION SWITCHES D
esigned on modular principle, these position
switches have degree of protection IP66 to IP67, for use in challenging environmental conditions PS is a range of position
switches from Schmersal, which have compact design, thus they can also be installed in confined spaces. With degree of protection IP66 to IP67, they are suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions. PS series position switches give users increased flexibility, simpler handling and
reduced storage costs. PS product range is designed on a modular principle. Users can order them as complete switches with actuating elements, or just the basic switch with no actuator. Based on the modular principle, the basic switch can be combined with the necessary actuation element for the application, with a selection of different versions available. All elements can be combined and are interchangeable, so they can be used anywhere. The modular design reduces the number of variants in the product range, which, in turn, reduces storage costs.

OPTIMISED PLASMA BEVELLING WITH ISERIES
E
SAB Welding & Cutting Products has optimised the consumables on its
iSeries high-precision plasma systems for plasma bevelling applications. The new design, distinguished by a more pointed nozzle and shield cap, narrows the torch profile to enable tilting the torch at greater angles, moving the torch closer to the plate to maintain optimum arc lengths without collisions. The ultra-cooled, two-piece iSeries tip
gets cooled all the way to the orifice to provide the best cut quality over its complete life span. XtremeLife™ electrodes feature multiple hafnium inserts, which last longer in high current applications to lower cost of ownership. iSeries consumables can save as much as 35% when cutting mild steel and up to 70% on stainless. To cut a full range of weld preparations, connect the iSeries to the DMX Automated
Plasma Beveller. A next-generation beveller, the DMX Beveller utilises a reliable, compact and easy-to-use design.

SERIES 629C WET/WET DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER
T
he Series 629C Wet/Wet Differential Pressure Transmitter monitors
differential pressure of air and compatible gases and liquids with 0.5% accuracy. The design employs dual pressure sensors converting pressure changes into a standard 4 to 20 mA output signal or field selectable voltage. Small internal volume and minimal moving parts result in exceptional response and reliability. The terminal block, as well as a zero adjustment button, are easily accessed under the top cover. The Series 629C, with the optional factory installed remote sensors, are connected to
the unit, either via armored or shielded cable and available in 10 and 20' lengths. Installation is much simpler, reducing labor and material cost versus traditional copper piping installations and no need for valve manifolds. The 629C family has a robust NEMA 4X (IP66) construction, which is also available with an integral LCD for localized data monitoring.

should always be under control. The permanent measurement of temperature and humidity in the switch cabinet is an important element in preventing condensation, which leads to corrosion and thus failure of components. STEGO's CSS 014 smart sensor combines a sensor, interface and transmitter all in one compact device. It measures ambient temperatures with high sensitivity within a range of -40 to +60°C while keeping a close eye on the relative humidity range from 0 to 100% RH.
The CSS 014 transmits the data it acquires as a standardised analogue 4-20 mA signal. This signal users can further process and convert the measured values within a control or monitoring unit, e.g. a PLC. Due to high measuring accuracy and signal strength connection wires with a maximum length of 30m can be used.
