Herga Technology‘s 6256 modular multi-function industrial footswitch range now expanded


O


riginally launched around a year ago and designed to tackle the extreme durability and reliability required


for operator-controlled electrical switching and control tasks for industrial machinery, Herga’s 6256 series heavy- duty footswitch series is now equipped with many additional and simply adapted accessories and options. The economically priced range is now expanded with further switching options and includes an emergency stop version, extended base plates for increased stability, pole & handle attachments for portability and ease of operation, and a rear pedal lock lever prevents footswitch operation when depressed. With its combination of style, ergonomics and modular flexibility the 6256 series has impressed plant & equipment OEMs and industrial machine builders for applications ranging from metal forming and stamping, welding equipment, laser machining, operator-controlled assembly machinery, hydraulic press and more. Available with medium and high load AC and DC


current/voltage switching to 25 Amps, and with slow & snap or make & break options, the modular design brings


the toughness and durability of high-impact injection moulded ABS with the simplicity of single switch use or practically unlimited multiple footswitch expansion through an interlocking multipedal base-link kit. In addition to electrical switching versions, a potentiometer equipped option offers variable control and air-switched pneumatic version is now available. An optional snap-on protective guard accommodates


safety shoe use and an IP67 sealing kit is available to meet washdown and wet environmental use to EN 60529. The standard version has a working temperature range of -20 °C to +80 °C and the working life of the 6256 is more than ten million electrical operations. The modularity built into the design allows retrofitting of its accessories and options – so there is no need to replace complete units when modifying or upgrading customer’s machine controls.

Anvo-Systems Dresden Presents 64Kb Serial I²C nvSRAM for the Extended Temperature Range


serial nvSRAM (non-volatile SRAM) with I²C interface for the extended temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. With the immediately available, non-volatile memory device, the security of a system can be significantly increased. The data retention of ten years ensures high reliability. The ANV32A62ASE1 non-volatile memory device from


A


Anvo-Systems Dresden features a storage capacity of 64Kb and a clock rate of 1MHz. The low power consumption is 0.5mA typically. The ANV32A62ASE1 serial I²C nvSRAM is internally


organized as 8k words of 8 bits. Each SRAM memory cell integrates a non-volatile SONOS storage element. In the event of an unforeseeable operating voltage drop, the SONOS technology enables storage of all data in one operation. The non-volatile memory device from Anvo-Systems


Dresden is suitable for innovative applications demanding extended temperature ranges, like industrial automation, robotics, IoT based systems, servers, measurement equipment, medical devices, building automation, and smart metering systems.

Low-temperature proximity switches for easy direct


connection in Ex zones 0/20 E


GE provides IGEX20Pa-type proximity switches that withstand low temperatures down to -60 °C. ATEX-


and IECEx-certified for use in Ex zones 0 and 20, these sensors can be used in hazardous areas with gas or dust atmospheres, for example in filling stations and facilities with gas pipelines etc. EGE now also offers easy- installation variants of these Polar-series proximity switches. Featuring the ignition protection type Ex m (encapsulation), these IGEX20Pa models can be employed in Ex zones 0 and 20 by themselves, without the need for additional switching amplifiers. EGE supplies the sensors with IP67 and IP68 ingress protection and in M12, M18, and M30 designs. Given a flush installation, the nominal switching distances are 2 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm, depending on the design. The proximity switches are connected via a 2-m FEP cable. EGE supplies them with different cable lengths on request.
