TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL


processing environments with rigorous high pressure, high temperature wash-down procedures. Protected by specially-developed IP69K enclosures, the SICK deTec and deTem light curtains will not be compromised


by aggressive


regimes such as Clean- and Sterilise-in-Place (CIP and SIP). Additionally, cleaning is quicker, easier and less costly than with mechanical safety protection such as access gates or safety fencing. The IP69K light curtain enclosures are available pre-assembled with


Amphenol’s new Micro-B series.


T


he cost -effective Circular Connectors provide a viable alternative to the high-cost connectors used in a


variety of industrial markets needing high signal counts in a very small package. Amphenol Industrial Products Group, a global leader in


interconnect systems, now offers a lightweight, high performance circular connector series with a small footprint that provide a viable alternative to high-cost connectors used in a variety of industrial markets needing high signal counts in a very small package. The Micro-B series utilises a robust triple bayonet


coupling that provides quick and positive locking, as well as an internal EMI ground spring for excellent shell-to-shell conductivity at an affordable price. This new circular connector series was designed for industrial applications such as sensors, data and mobile communications, medical equipment and motor controls where electrical performance must be met with affordability.

Shut-off valve solution for smart meter suppliers D


elivering a more compact, cost- effective shut-off valve solution for


smart meter suppliers, NSF Controls has produced a shut-off valve that can be engineered to exact requirements and applied across a diverse range of utilities meter applications as well as for other positional locking device uses. With growing demand for gas


meters, the leading UK designer and manufacturer of solenoids, switches, and a specialist provider of customised electro-mechanical assembly services, developed the innovative solution to meet a new requirement for a shut-off valve to regulate the gas usage.


Offering an exceptional sealing pressure, flow rate, compact size and proven track record with over seven million


installed, the success of this gas valve project has positioned NSF Controls as an authority within the energy and utilities sector. UK-manufactured and in compliance with BS EN 1359:2007 and BS EN14236:2007 for resistance to gas vapour, electrical safety and thermal class standards, NSF Controls ensures a 20-year or 10,000 life cycle.


Solenoid and Motorised Versions There are two successful valves in operation for smart meter applications suitable for installation to either the outlet or inlet port with a customer specific interface. The MGV Series is a motorised gas shut-off valve whilst the SGV Series is a bi-stable solenoid-operated gas shut-


off valve. Accredited and approved to ISO9001 & 14001, it’s the simplicity of the valve’s design that reduces the number of


failure modes, making it an extremely reliable product. Furthermore, the valves undergo 100% testing once assembled ensuring performance to the required specification.

Mind the boom! samosPRO Compact provides additional safety for SOVEX


T


he use of Wieland Electric’s samosPRO Compact at SOVEX has reduced wiring, reduced installation time, lowered


the complexity of the control system and provided seamless integration of safety with the control function. The introduction of the SOVEX Bendy Boom vehicle loader meant three position modes which required additional safety, so Wieland’s engineers came up with a solution to swap out standalone safety and integrate a programmable system. This eliminated the need for more cable whilst maintaining the highest levels of safety and monitoring of positions.


SOVEX Belt Vehicle Loaders are ideal for loading bays


and raised docks and, fixed in position, they offer the most robust solution available for inbound and outbound handling, loading or unloading 1200 parcels per hour from vans, trucks and containers up to 45ft.
