‘Smart’ sensor provides continuous fefeedback & diag nostics
A
smart valve sensor which provides continuous feedback and essential diagnostics to help plant operators ensure optimum process performance has recently been introduced by sensor specialist ifm electronic.
The MVQ smart valve sensor provides outstanding, all- round position visibility with bright multi-coloured LED indication helping plant operators to monitor the flow of media from a distance. For example, is the valve open or closed? Is the valve opening fully? Or is it blocked by deposits? Is it closed properly, or is the seal wearing? If used as a standard sensor the MVQ will provide 3 switched signals for the valve position. However, thanks to the integrated IO-Link interface the sensor becomes a real- time diagnostic device providing continuous real-time feedback, as opposed to a simple, less sophisticated valve position sensor.

model construction and more Available with full support from measurement specialists Ixthus Instrumentation, the smart RF627 series ARM-based laser scanner offers selectable sampling rates up to 6800 profiles/sec with fast inputs and outputs for event and multiple scanner synchronisation.
The RF627 series employs the optical triangulation principle to provide a base distance and a generous measurement
range with a wide field of view. The new design has allowed a marked increase of twice the a the speed over previous Riftek 2D scanners for improved measurement precision and throug

and IR laser sources allow measurement on reflective materials, high temperature objects, organic materials and more. Multiple scanners with different wavelengths can also be supplied, offering the possibility to combine various materials in one measurement system.
The new laser scanner is designed for use in harsh environments. A durable aluminium housing and a novel high resolution glass lens system offers IP67 protection with shock and vibration resistance suitable for the most demanding tasks. Two compact housing styles cover the scanner geometry requirements for the smaller and the other measurement range models.

Safefe, easy & c onvenien t Long life and excellent heatmanagement
eat management is a critical factor in the operational life and energy efficiency of an LED area light. The TX65 is designed to meet this challenge, providing a high quality light output and high performance in ambient temperatures ranging from -50°C to +55°C. The degree of protection of the TX65 is achieved without the use of flame paths that would require inspection and maintenance. The TX65 also offers a superior colour rendition index compared to high-pressure sodium lamps, therefore providing an improved working environment.

Conventional hazardous area lighting technology has high mercury content, whereas the TX65 contains no toxic substances. The energy consumption, CO2 and NOX emissions are approximately 70% less than conventional floodlights. Furthermore, because of its significantly reduced power consumption with no inrush currents, the number of electrical circuits required for the TX65 can be reduced (more floodlights can share the same circuit). The life of an LED light fitting is dependent on the technology used, the installation environment and the ambient temperatures. At a typical onshore oil refinery or petrochemical plant, the TX65 maintenance intervals may increase by as much as five times compared to conventional lighting solutions. Under optimal conditions, the TX65 multi- purpose area light will last the lifetime of the installation itself.
The TX65 is available with lumen output ratings from 3000 lm up to 9000 lm (2-module version). The TX65 is also covered by a five-year warranty. For more information on the TX65, please visit

lackfast’s room temperature blacking process is both safe, easy and convenient to use. The process has been developed for safe and reliable use facilities, so it is no longer necessa
production site for finishing by an outside contractor. Unlike conventional methods of blacking it is
non-hazardous.
Blacking of iron and steel provides a corrosion resistant finish without dimensional change. This is attractive for machined parts manufactured to tight tolerances where plating or painting would not be acceptable.
,
As it is very important that the components are clean and free from grease before using the blacking process, Blackfast also offers a range of degreasers from solvents to water based and rust removers.
