Carlo Gavazzi CD34 Capacitive Sensor for Accurate level detection


designed to detect water-based liquids through a non- metallic container wall. The CD34 automatically adjusts to various thicknesses of plastic and glass; reliably detecting whilst ignoring residue film, moisture or foam from liquids such as water, milk body fluids(blood) acid or alkaline solutions with conductivity as high as 50 mS/cm inside or outside the container wall. The CD34 is manufactured in a strong, compact housing


C


with IP69K rating, has UL and ECOLAB approval for wash- down applications. The CD34 is not short on features; and includes NPN and PNP versions and has a rated operating voltage of 10-30VDC (incl. 10% ripple), voltage drop of <1.5 VDC at a maximum load, and an output current of 100mA.

arlo Gavazzi has launched its latest CD34CNFLF capacitive sensor with foreground suppression,


otork has completed a contract to supply fully


automated pneumatic control systems on high capacity biomass rail freight wagons supporting the decarbonisation project at Lynemouth Power Station in Northumberland. Rail freight


manufacturer Astra Rail/Greenbrier Europe and leasing company Nacco have supplied GB Railfreight with 50 hopper wagons to support the biomass haulage contract awarded by Lynemouth Power Ltd. Each with a payload of 70 tonnes, these auto-loading and discharging wagons run in two rakes (coupled groups) of 24 between the Port of Tyne and Lynemouth Power Station, delivering 37,000 tonnes of biomass per week. The Rotork design for auto-loading and discharging enables all controls, hand valves and visual indicators to be located in one place, providing safe and convenient access. Top and bottom hopper doors are operated by a magnetic sensor valve from a lineside magnet. The innovative design allows any wagon in the rake to be the arming wagon. The fully automated control system enables quicker loading and unloading, requiring only supervision without manual intervention during operation. The


New compact Z6R Load Cell offers big solution N


Manufactured in stainless steel, the robust enclosure can withstand mechanical stress and is not affected by dirt, humidity or aggressive environments with acids and alkalis. Featuring an innovative design, without any gaps or edges, the Z6R is easy to clean and can therefore help to reduce costly downtime. Furthermore, the new Z6R is also ingress protected to IP68, with IP69K as an option for added protection.

LEMO (UK) Ltd Expands Cable Assembly Production Capability


T


o meet the growing demand for “plug and play” interconnect solutions, LEMO (UK) is very pleased to


announce a 50% expansion of its UK cable assembly service. This significant investment is part of an initiative the company has undertaken to support the growing


manufacturing trend for OEM’s to outsource their non-core connector termination activities. LEMO’s aim is to provide its UK customers with increased value by means of offering them a complete cable design and manufacturing service. The objective of this service is to provide customers with bespoke engineered solutions, tailored to specific system requirements and optimised for both performance and manufacturing from the outset. This approach ensures that product costs along with assembly and project lead-times are minimised, without the need for compromises in either performance or quality.

he main advantage of a capacitive sensor is that it will detect anything….but the major drawback of a


capacitive sensor is that it will detect anything. …… Often a capacitive sensor is used to detect one product


inside a container, so getting the sensitivity set right in the first place is critical. The new latest capacitive proximity sensor from ifm features a simple visual setting aid. As you would expect, the output status is indicated by an amber LED, but either side of this indication are several green LED’s that show where the sensitivity setting has been made when the pot was turned. Closer to the output LED means there’s little margin of error. Conversely, further from the output LED means the setting is robust and the signal can wander without the output switching and causing false trips.

proven design also allows for wagons to be separated and used in other rakes without any further configuration. Lynemouth Power Station has generated electricity


since 1972. The plant was originally built and operated by Alcan with the purpose of providing safe and secure energy for the production of aluminium at the adjacent Lynemouth Smelter.
