ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
ProtectoXP from Rehm offers 2K encapsulation
reliably, safely and as well as possible. Yet continuing development and miniaturisation in electronics are creating ever more complex assemblies that call for an even more precise level of protection. With the ProtectoXP, Rehm Thermal Systems offers a lacquering system with the option of 2K encapsulation for a particularly high level of protection. Corrosion, moisture and vibration are just some of the
I
hazards that can cause damage to an assembly from outside. To protect individual components or indeed the entire assembly, however, these can be coated with a protective lacquer after soldering. Selective, automatic coating of electronic assemblies with a protective lacquer, a process known as ‘conformal coating’, offers numerous possibilities here. The Protecto lacquering systems from Rehm Thermal
Systems, for example, have multifunctional lacquer applicator units that can apply the lacquer by spraying, dispensing or jet, to suit the application – even in narrow gaps between components. For the ProtectoXP there is a wide range of applicators available, through which it is possible to select the right equipment for the corresponding application and thus always to achieve the best possible result. From these applicators up to four can be used simultaneously, for example the 2K system. In this volumetric dosing system, two different material
components – irrespective of whether they are high or low in viscosity – are applied uniformly and without pulsation, and independently of any fluctuations in pressure,

n modern electronics manufacturing it remains important to protect sensitive assemblies from external influences -
temperature or viscosity. A 2K encapsulation of this kind is always used when a particularly high level of protection is required. The volumetric operating principle of the
applicators ensures that the correct quantity of material in the correct mixing ratio is delivered every time, irrespective of temperature or fluctuations in pressure.

speed drives (VSDs) to make dramatic improvements in their leakage rates. Industry statistics from the UK’s Consumer Council
for Water state that a staggering 3.1 mega litres of water is lost every day through leakage in England and Wales. That’s an enormous amount of water that must be replaced, treated and pumped all over again to maintain supplies to customers. “Using variable speed drives can cut these leaks
dramatically by controlling pressure,” says Dan Banks, ABB Drives Water Framework Manager. “Our training session is a convenient way to ensure that those responsible for specifying, operating or maintaining pumps learn how they can use VSDs to reduce the waste caused by leakage.”

Lunch ‘n’ Learn training puts pressure on water leaks A
BB has launched a Lunch ‘n’ Learn training session that shows how water companies can use variable
Topics covered include:
• How VSDs tackle common causes of leakage including elevated supply pressures and water hammer
• The role of inbuilt VSD smart functions such as soft pipe fill and sleep boost
• The increasing use of cloud-based monitoring techniques in leakage prevention strategies
• How one ABB customer is set to save £4.5 million on repairs and energy costs by 2021 by using VSDs to maintain correct water pressure
The 45-minute session, Reducing leakage through
the use of variable speed drives, is free to attend and can be delivered to individuals or groups at customer premises or an ABB facility.

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.
