ADVANCED ENGINEERING 2019 ADVERTORIAL The PXV 2-D absolute positioning system


Mecmesin set to showcase


OmniTest™ materials tester and VectorPro MT materials testing software at Advanced Engineering 2019


M


ecmesin, a British company specialising in force, materials and torque testing equipment, will


demonstrate their OmniTest materials tester driven by their state-of-the-art VectorPro MT materials testing software at the Advanced Engineering Exhibition in October 2019.


Designed to meet the diverse needs of both R&D


laboratories and quality assurance environments, this new generation of material testers offers enhanced performance and excellent value for money.


On show will be the OmniTest 5 kN single-column tester,


which is designed to accommodate tall specimens and has enough travel to measure the tensile strength of the most elastic of materials.


Mecmesin will also be demoing a dual-column benchtop


OmniTest 25 kN system, designed for testing larger, higher strength samples.


The OmniTest is the ideal solution for performing static


tensile and compressive tests to measure the mechanical properties of a wide range of materials, including plastics, rubbers and elastomers, metals, composites, fabrics, glass and ceramics. Quantitative results for tests such as tensile strength and compression forces on materials are generated with a high degree of repeatability - essential aspects for effective quality control.


The OmniTest has a simple-to-use front panel for


selection of test parameters, live load and length readings and precise manual crosshead positioning using the multifunction controller. Coloured LEDs indicate machine status during testing.


The OmniTest incorporates state of the art electronics


and a range of high-resolution precision Enhanced Load Sensors (ELS). Load accuracy is 0.5% rdg with a resolution of 1:50000, allowing a wider range of tests to be performed without the need to select a different load sensor.


VectorPro MT is intuitive to use with minimal training.


The icon-based interface acts like a 'wizard' taking the user step-by-step through even the most elaborate and complex test routines quickly, with the ability to refine as you go.

At a glance: • Large 2-D reading window • Large depth of focus range • Code tape with large codes • Interruption possible up to a stretch of 75 mm • SIL 3/PL e with a sensor and code tape


The PXV 2-D absolute positioning system from


Pepperl+Fuchs sets new performance benchmarks when it comes to reliability and handling. With its large reading window, the system keeps a sufficient number of codes in view, even in relation to track switches and changes to the code tape. Precise positioning is guaranteed at all times. Six years of experience with the PCV system have


helped to shape the development of the PXV. The reading window of the PXV has been enlarged to approx. 120 x 80 mm, meaning that the Data Matrix code tape is always located within the sending range. Mounting and commissioning are easier, and plant availability is further improved. The reading window has an increased depth of focus range, allowing it to capture even more codes simultaneously and also guarantee position detection through multiple redundancy.


Unlike other systems available on the market, the


PXV requires only a 2-D camera, ensuring that irritation relating to track switches is excluded. To prevent this, the cameras in the twocamera systems can receive the relevant differing position signals in these areas. A certain degree of contamination on the code tape


is often unavoidable during everyday operation. For this reason, the codes for the PXV have been expanded to 15 x 15 mm without compromising the resolution, and the "coarse-grained" design ensures that they are unaffected by contamination. Thanks to redundant detection, the system also cannot be disrupted by the destruction of individual codes. The code tape can be interrupted by a stretch of up to 80 mm without affecting position detection.


Innovative safety technology The new safePXV manages all that a single positioning system can with just one sensor.

Visit Permabond on Stand 124


throughout the manufacturing industry and will be exhibiting at the Advanced Engineering Show at the NEC on the 30th and 31st October. Find us RIGHT BY THE ENTRANCE to the Composites Engineering section on stand I24, where we will be showcasing our extensive range of adhesives for composites such as carbon fibre, FRP/GRP, honeycomb panels (Nomex, marble, aluminium) as well as new innovative adhesives for bonding low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene/polyethylene and a new multi-purpose, adhesive which achieves very high strengths on carbon fibre, stainless steel and even oily steel and PET-G, with little or no surface preparation!


P


• Permabond TA4611 – for low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. TA4611 expands our existing range of polyolefin bonders offering high strength and smaller gap fill capability on these difficult to bond plastics.


• Permabond TA4207 - multi-purpose, high strength bonding with little or no surface preparation. Suitable for most metals, composites and plastics including stainless steel, carbon fibre and even PET-G (substrate failure).


Adhesives offer an effective way of joining composites, maintaining the structural integrity and performance of


your composite, whilst providing a high-strength, high performance bond and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition to these new products, Permabond offers an established range of adhesives for composites, including products which are colour matched for carbon fibre and FRP/GRP, flexible epoxy hybrids, flame retardant epoxies and spreadable epoxies. Our adhesives are available in a range of cure speeds, strengths and viscosities to suit your particular application. Permabond also offers the flexibility of custom formulation (subject to minimum order quantities) if a solution can’t be found in our existing range.
