TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION - ADVERTORIAL
Heating equipment manufacturer celebrates 100-year anniversary ~ Watlow reaches significant milestone ~
Industrial heating technology manufacturer Watlow, which specializes in electric components for complete thermal systems, has reached its 100-year anniversary milestone. The company, which was founded in 1922 in Missouri, USA, is now a global electric heating specialist with over 1,000 patents and 4,200 employees working across locations in North America, Asia and Europe.
Watlow began manufacturing electric heating elements for the shoe industry, before widening its product offering in the 1930s to introduce electric immersion heaters to replace steam pipes and fire- hazardous gas. Then, in the 1980s, Watlow expanded its global reach with the opening of sales offices in Italy, France, the UK and Taiwan.
Since its founding in 1922, the company has developed into a highly regarded industry heating technology manufacturer, holding more than 1,000 patents and employing over 4,000 people working in nine manufacturing facilities and five technology centers across three continents. Additionally, Watlow gains sales coverage in 178 countries. “Marking a century in business is one of the biggest achievements a company can realize,” said Rob Gilmore, CEO of Watlow. “Watlow has grown in product capability and global reach and is well deserving of this achievement. Our purpose of enriching lives through inspired innovation has motivated our team members for generations. While we are excited to celebrate this significant milestone, we are equally excited about our outlook for our next 100 years. “I am honored to lead Watlow as we enter our next century to continue serving customers across the globe, and demonstrating how we can innovate further. To honor the milestone anniversary and jumpstart the next chapter, all Watlow headquarters will host events throughout the summer, kicking off in June 2022 with celebrations at the USA headquarters in Missouri.”

Robust switch for use in the field
The 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. Fluctuations and interruptions in the power supply are tolerated, as are vibrations, shocks and high relative humidity. The compact device is easy to maintain and features a long service life and high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The new Wieland Electric IP67 ethernet switch’s plug-and-play feature allows for quick commissioning even without programming experience. Eight M12 Fast Ethernet ports allow sensors and actuators to be connected in a stable and consistent way which contributes to low failure rates. Its compatibility with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) within the IEC 61131-2 framework also ensures reliable network operation with the lowest possible failure rate.
The robust and compact IP67 Ethernet switch from Wieland Electric ensures reliable operation even in harsh environments.
