Monitoring of paint and powder cure


Fluke Process Instruments supplies a comprehensive range of precise and reliable thermocouple probes. The type K thermocouples are specified to ANSI MC96.1 for an accuracy of ±1.1 °C or 0.4%. They are supplied with a PTFE- jacketed cable designed to give flexibility but also enhance life expectancy in an industrial environment. These measure temperatures up to 265 °C. In addition, high- temperature glass-fiber thermocouples rated up to 500 °C are also available. Various attachment options accommodate all magnetic and non-magnetic products of all shapes and sizes. Small patch probes have a very short response time and are therefore ideal for monitoring small parts, plastics, and cans. Clamp-on probes measure surface and air temperature and can be used universally for thin parts, including aluminum-extruded products.

omplementing the newly launched DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 temperature data logger for paint and powder cure,


ICK has launched the Pinspector, a specialist 3D vision solution that brings new levels of repeatability


and accuracy for high-speed precision inspection of connector pins and press-fitted pins in printed circuit board and electronics manufacturing applications. The Pinspector delivers automated contactless


measurement and validation before press fit to control insertion of pins and after press fit to validate the presence and height of pins, as well as reliably checking the x,y,z position of pins in the connector. Combining SICK’s well-proven Ranger E50 vision


cameras, SICK laser profiling devices and specially- developed software, the Pinspector also identifies bent, wrong height, misaligned or damaged connector pins that could cause issues leading to costly failures. The Pinspector reliably locates, inspects and


measures the pins as a high resolution 3D image, and can measure multiple pin types on a single PCB for added versatility, time and cost saving in quality control. The contactless, vision measurement principle is low maintenance and has no effect on the pins. Says Neil Sandhu, SICK’s UK Product Manager for Imaging, Measurement and Ranging: “The beauty of the SICK Pinspector is that it is easy to set up and adapt to different PCB layouts. The system can be optimised and easily configured for applications that require either high-speed or high-accuracy inspection. “The Pinspector is able to make up to several


hundred contactless 3D inspections per second of the x,y,z positions of pins, with a repeatability of up to 99%. In the press-fit process, the Pinspector validates the positioning of the conductive rings and the respective pins to prevent pressing damage. After pressing, it measures the planarity of all the pins and the individual pin heights to flag any assembly problem. It will also detect any missing or bent pins


which could prevent effective assembly and subsequent operation. SICK

Oxley Wins Development Contract For KF-X Fighter O


xley Group has secured its position as leading the global market in aerospace LED lighting after being selected by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) to develop the full external lighting system on the new KF-X and IF-X Fighter


Aircraft program. The KF-X / IF-X is a South Korean and Indonesian program to develop a single or twin seat advanced multirole


fighter for the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) and Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU). As part of the development contract Oxley will be supplying a ground-breaking external LED lighting system


which includes the following; Landing light, Taxi light, Refuelling lights, Formation lights, Wing tip lights and an intelligent lighting controller. The system provides complete integration into the pilot’s multi-functional display. The suite will be designed specifically for the new jets and the lights will outperform existing technology to deliver high performance and reliability. Oxley Technical Director, Darren Cavan explained, ‘The comprehensive technical development process will cover


design, prototyping, testing and manufacture, this will be completed by a dedicated Oxley project team of mechanical, optical, electronics and software engineers at the Priory Park site in Cumbria. As part of the development, smart technology will be integrated into the lights.’ Martin Blakstad, Oxley Group CEO commented, ‘The Oxley team has been working closely with the team at KAI and


this has created a strong relationship between the two companies, the Oxley team is enthusiastic about working on this ground breaking programme. To be part of a prestigious advanced technological platform such as this is confirmation of our world leading position in the provision of high performance lighting for military aircraft and we look forward to deepening our relationship with such a major manufacturer as KAI.’
