MD’s comment

Product development continues It is now just over one year since we took over responsibility for selling Datalogic sensor and safety products in the UK. Even in this short time Datalogic has developed many new products and continue to invest heavily in R&D in order to stay ahead of the competition. On the centre pages of this magazine you will see examples of their products within a typical factory automation environment. However, every application is different and this is where we can help by offering our engineers to work with you to find the best solution. As a first step why not request our new short form catalogue or give us a call and put us to the test!

If you have any feedback or comments you may contact me directly at richard.armstrong@uk.oem.se or telephone me directly on 0116 2846701.

Explosion protection!

The incremental Sendix ATEX 7000 encoders are suitable for explosive atmospheres. Thanks to the explosionproof enclosure made of sea waterresistant aluminium and a high protection level, these encoders are approved for zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.

Their compact construction, with a diameter of only 70 mm allows easy mounting even where space is tight.

When using devices in explosive environments there are two key factors to be considered; one is to offer the best protection for the operators using the equipment; the second is to have as little amount of down time as possible. With its robust, reliable construction the Sendix

ATEX 7000 encoder delivers in both counts. The unit has been fully tested and certified to all the latest standards.

These encoders have been successfully used in the following applications; mining, chemical industry, offshore plants, painting plants and process automation.

Features: • ATEX and IECEx approval • Reliable, shock and vibration-resistant • Reduced installation depth and compact cable outlet • IP67 protection level

Improved paddle flow switch launched GHM Honsberg has made a number of improvements to the popular CRG paddle flow switch, designed to improve ease of installation and setting procedures.

The CRG now comes with a transparent housing cover making the micro-switch operation visible without the need to open the enclosure and exposing ‘live’ electrical contacts.

The cable gland position has been moved from the top lid of the enclosure to the base improving accessibility and safety when making electrical connections and setting the switch point.

• 1” BSPT thread connection • Switching range 0.2...165m³h • Max pressure 11 Bar

• Switch – change over, 250VDC - 15A • Brass or Stainless Steel wetted parts

To assist in selecting the paddle combination and correct installation the flow rate table 'adjusting' information has been devised ensuring the correct paddle size is used in relation to pipe diameter: • Adapt paddle 1 for DN 25 • From DN 100, adapt paddle 4 • DN 100 paddle length 92

This range incorporates 2 or 3 rows of common terminals that can be used to distribute the power to multiple devices and a feed through terminal that can be connected to your sensor, actuator or PLC. Using this system the wiring can all be terminated in the same place therefore removing the need to split the power away from the signal cables.

With tension spring cable connection technology, you can be assured of a fast,

reliable and maintenance free solution.

This range is also available without feed through and can be supplied pre-assembled or as piece parts for complete flexibility.
