INDUSTRY UPDATE
Robust switch for use in the field
T
he new IP67 Ethernet switch from Wieland Electric
enables reliable operation even under the most adverse environmental conditions Modular and flexible machine
concepts are growing rapidly in importance. As this happens, more and more automation parts are being connected in a way that is not centralized. This also applies to IP switches, which are no longer only mounted in the control cabinet, but also directly onto the machine. To ensure that network components operate reliably under these conditions, the devices must meet stringent specifications as they are directly exposed to potentially harmful influences such as dust, moisture, and electromagnetic radiation. Wieland Electric offers a suitable solution to this with its new IP67 switch. The wienet IP-SWITCH UMS 8-W-M12 is equipped
with a robust metal housing and can therefore be used under the most adverse environmental conditions. Splashed water, contamination and high temperatures up to 75° Celsius are handled without any problems. In addition, the switch complies with the EN 50155 standard, making it suitable for the harsh requirements of railroad applications.

ILS FlexWipe meets growing demand for, safe, reliable
pallet labelling – no matter what the temperature
is seeing strong demand for its FlexWipe pallet labelling system. The combination of a small footprint, fast operation and market-leading safety standards together with the ability to work across a wide variety of temperatures down to -28°C have revolutionised pallet labelling and made it a firm favourite with customers. To date ILS has installed over 80 FlexWipe
P
systems across Europe, USA and Australia and is continuing to see demand grow in the past 18 months, particularly in the cold storage sector. Customers include NewCold and Lineage Logistics who have over 40 FlexWipe systems operating between them. The robust design of the FlexWipe applicator
means it is capable of operating in ultra-cold climates, without the need for additional heaters or special cabinets. Working with varying pallet surfaces – uneven, rough, or cold – the FlexWipe “wipes” accurately over the label after it has been tapered, ensuring labels stick even under the poorest adherence conditions.
