PERMANENT SIGHT GLASS MAGNETS riez Magnetics is pleased to introduce its first magnet designed exclusively for the plastics industry, the new super strength rare earth permanent sight glass magnets. These powerful magnets remove tramp metal contamination from plastic resin and pellets as it passes through a site glass loader on its way to a moulding machine. The rare earth magnet circuit utilises the strongest magnet material available to remove more fine iron contamination and reduce product wash-off. These advanced magnets feature continuously welded construction, and four sizes are available to fit most site glass loaders. Customers can choose between two different magnet diameters, 1-inch or 5/8-inch (25.4 mm or 15.9 mm). The new permanent sight glass magnets are stronger, less expensive and match (dimensionally) the current industry standard (claims the company).

MOTION CONTROL SYSTEMS chneider Electric Motion offers the revolutionary new AccuStep motion control technology that, when applied to step motors, prevents the loss of synchronisation due to transient or continued overload, extreme acceleration or deceleration, or excessive slew speed. One version includes integrated step motor, microstepping driver, and internal encoder, while another version adds fully-programmable motion controller. Applications include point-to-point positioning, conveyor control, web handling, rotary & linear positioning to torque specification, and low end camming. The MDrive AccuStep systems offer clear advantages in a low cost package for a wide range of motion control application such as: point-to-point positioning, conveyor control, web handling, drilling, rotary and linear positioning to torque specification, and low end camming. With the addition of torque control, rotary and linear positioning to torque specifications are now possible. And, by enabling variable current control, motor heating and energy consumption can be greatly reduced.
