Are you ready for new Ex-forklift tyre requirements? F
Rotech Systems F
ounded in 1983 Rotech Systems Manufacture and supply worldwide, high quality, high reliability equipment for
monitoring and measuring the speed, position and direction of rotating shafts
Rotech Systems are the worlds leading manufacturer of high quality monitoring solution products with an unparalleled reputation for reliability, durability and quality.
Major features are tough, strong, heavy duty construction, designed to operate and give years of maintenance free operation in even the harshest industrial environments, quarries, mines, etc. and simple, quick, installation.
Main applications are in the bulk handling and processing industries. Protecting conveyors, elevators, screws, crushers, mixers, etc. anywhere were slowing down or stoppage will cause product spillage, blockage, etc. and incur downtime, lost production, cleaning up, spoilt product, etc.
Equipment can give visual and/or audible alarms plus shutdown items of plant for a speed reduction of only 5% (adjustable 5% to 90%).

rom November 2017, tyres and wheels on explosion protected forklifts, pallet trucks, reach trucks and other materials handling equipment will need to meet new requirements due to changes to the EN1755:2015 standard. Safety company Pyroban is encouraging materials handling equipment users and dealers to consider these important changes now. “EN1755, the EU standard that explosion protected materials handling equipment is designed or converted to, is mandatory from November this year,” explains Dave Waring, Product Manager for Pyroban. “One of the more significant changes is to the requirements for tyres and wheels, so both end users and the dealer network need to prepare for this now.” Under the revised standard, tyres and wheels on forklift and warehouse trucks must be antistatic in all
potentially explosive atmospheres where trucks are travelling at 6km per hour. This applies in areas classified as Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22, where previously, antistatic tyres were only required for operation in Zone 1 and 21 areas.

Detecting Residual Oxygen Within Solder Reflow W
ith a world that has more gadgets than people, it is not surprising that electronics has progressively become an essential everyday
part of modern life. With such a high demand from both the consumer and industrial markets, the expectation is strong when it comes to reliability and quality. Inside many gadgets you will find a PCB (printed circuit board.) PCB manufacturers worldwide strive continuously to improve quality control in order to minimise product failure. For many
PCB manufacturers, the reflow soldering process is the most popular manufacturing method, as it allows mass production of PCB’s with intricate surface mount component soldering of the highest quality. The reflow soldering process uses a solder paste to attach multiple electrical components temporarily to their contact on the circuit board; after assembly it is then subjected to controlled heat within the solder reflow oven, melting the solder and permanently connecting the joint between the component and the circuit board. Nitrogen is introduced into the solder reflow oven to enhance the quality of the soldering, as it creates an inert atmosphere reducing the risk of oxidisation as well as improving the wetting angles of the soldered joints. The inert atmosphere within the oven is maintained using a gas analyser capable of measuring ppm (parts per million) of the oxygen content.
