Wieland’s safety light curtains provide access control for enhanced safety
SLC Series safety light curtains from Wieland Elec- tric have been designed to protect operators from dangerous areas or as
access control against unauthorised trespassing. Featuring slim, rigid housings that enable easy adjustment and stable operation, with integrated double-scan technology that avoids unwanted downtime in even the harshest operating condi- tions, the robust and reliable SLC Series safety light curtains provides effective and economical optoelectronic protection customisable to nearly any machine application.
When using multiple systems, mutual interfer- ence is avoided by using the adjustable range reduction feature, whilst the integrated double scan technology eliminates the risk of unneces- sary shutdown even in harsh environments. Plan- ning of safeguards is simplified and there is less type diversity because every SLC from 0 m to the maximum range can be utilised.

Addding 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!

www.aquameter.co.uk New high sensitivity, miniature press force
sensor captures very small forces The trend toward miniaturization is unstoppable. Medtech devices, semiconductors, electrical components and automotive parts: in almost every industry, products must now combine increasingly compact dimensions with higher performance. And that poses major challenges for manufacturers and suppliers, who have to achieve maximum accuracy when processing these high-precision lightweight parts. A new, highly sensitive piezoelectric crystal developed by Kistler guarantees extremely precise measuring results. Used in a new Type 9323 press force sensor which is ideal for measuring very small forces in challenging industrial environments and is an excellent solution for calibrating force sensors installed in production machinery. With a sensitivity of -32 pC/N, the new sensor can accurately measure forces of less than 5 N.

kistler.com New high
performance modular raptor combisystem
Fortress
Technology, in collaboration with Sparc Sys- tems, has un- veiled itsfirst ever
modular, high performance combination metal detector and checkweighing conveyor system. Featuring a single swipe touchscreen HMI and paperless audit software with unlimited pre-programmed Codes of Practice, the robust Raptor captures all the data required to guarantee absolute traceability.
The Raptor Combi is the first flexible, fast and af- fordable fully integrated checkweigher and metal detector from Fortress. Specifically designed for high care confectionery, chocolate, bakery, nutritional bars, packaged meats, cheeses and ready meals, including contract manufactur- ers supplying multiple retailers, it
applies industry-leading technology engineered for high-end Sparc systems, yet overcomes sev- eral limitations. Notably the ability to accurately in- spect and check the weight of larger size products and pack formats -up to 8kg and measuring 300mm by 400mm.
