Chell Unveils Impressive Multichannel Blender
W
orld-renowned gas flow measurement specialists Chell Instruments have developed a new Multichannel
Blender as a dedicated solution for highly accurate mixing of gases. This unique and innovative multichannel gas mixer will
solve a variety of challenges in a wide range of industries. The Multichannel Blender is available with two, three or four customer specified channels for impressive gas mixing capability and range-ability. “We’re always proud to be developing new solutions,”
comments Nick Broadley, Managing Director at Chell Instruments. “We’re pleased this important and innovative product will improve ease and accuracy of gas blending for customers in many sectors.” The Multichannel Blender ensures gases are fully mixed
before leaving the unit with a custom blend chamber. A Purge function also makes sure there are no residual gases remaining within the blender manifold on completion, to ensure the purity of the next blend is never compromised.

Automationware
benefits from large NSK HTF Ball Screws A
utomationware, a leading Italy-based specialist in motion and control technologies, has taken delivery
of two large ball screws from NSK that will facilitate the automatic translation of large moulds used in injection moulding machines. NSK developed the special ball screws based on its class-leading HTF technology, a popular solution for injection moulding applications around the world. Located near Venice, Automationware was
established in 2002 with engineering expertise spanning the core motion and control technologies found in advanced mechatronics applications. The company´s linear axis and electro-cylinder products provide genuine alternatives to hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Proactive and progressive in the marketplace, the business invests heavily in developing new solutions, and recently turned to NSK for assistance with a special project. Automationware was in the process of developing
large electric actuators (cylinders) for the translation of heavy moulds used in injection moulding presses. Destined for machines that stand at over 6m in height, the cylinders produce up to 80kN of force and travel at a velocity of up to 1m/s. The principal objective was to guarantee that the
required force could be applied for 24 hours every working day, for a period of at least two years. Focused on this goal, in March 2018 NSK set about developing two ball screws based on its high-load HTF technology.
HTF stands for ´High Tough Force´, a name that ably reflects the characteristics of these translational drives,
which were developed to offer an electromechanical alternative to hydraulic drives. These advanced ball screws allow fast traverse rates (and thus short cycle times) in combination with high precision and extremely high axial forces.

Abacus cold mains water meter type Em scaled 0 - 999 litres in steps of 1 litre
A
dding a preset quantity of water to a mix has long been carried out using pails or hosepipes. Not very accurate and certainly not consistent.
Now, Hertfordshire company Aqumeter has developed the ABACUS digital water
measuring system for dispensing accurate preset quantities of water straight into mixing vessels, tanks, etc. Easy to install and simple to use, the ABACUS delivers repeatable results day in, day out, reliably and consistently. Thousands of units have been sold worldwide to a whole variety of industries
where water is added to powders or granules for mixing purposes. Just dial in the batch amount required and press the start button. The unit stops the flow of water when the required quantity has been delivered...... easy!

Breathe easy: New ESAB PAPR provides heavy-duty protection
F
or heavy-duty protection from welding fume and particulates when welding, gouging and grinding, ESAB
Welding & Cutting Products introduced the new ESAB PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) system at EuroBLECH 2018. The ESAB PAPR features a P3 filter and pre-filter to
remove particulates and the latest control technology, allowing the operator to adjust air flow between 170 and 220 L/min to suit the environment and application. As an extra measure of safety, it incorporates both visual and audible alarms to the alert the operator in the event of a blocked filter or low battery. Compatible helmets include the SENTINEL™ A50 for Air, G30 Air, G40 Air and G50 Air and Warrior™ Tech. Designed with robust construction for all heavy-duty
welding applications, the ESAB PAPR weighs a comfortable 1 kg. Its Li-Ion battery pack provides up to 8hr operation at an air flow rate 220L/min, and an LED indicator makes it easy for operators to see and set flow rates; there is also an LED indicator for battery charge.
