Richard Armstrong Managing Director

OEM has recently signed an agreement with West Control Solutions to become their key national distribution partner.

The company manufacture a wide range of temperature and process controller products under the market leading brand names of CAL, West and PMA. The West brand is renowned throughout Europe for competitive, state-of-the-art, single loop and multi-loop temperature controllers. They were at the forefront in developing microprocessor based controllers and self-tune algorithms.

The Cal brand was established many years ago and has set standards in digital temperature control. They were the first to produce a digital controller in the 1/16th DIN (48x48mm) package to be followed by the first 1/32nd DIN (24x48mm) controller.

No distance too far for Takex Photosensors The DLS is a rugged photosensor with a range of up to 2 metres and is ideal for a wide variety of applications.

This background suppression unit offers the advantage of detecting objects of any colour, material or shape.

With most background suppression sensors the optical focusing of the unit is achieved electronically. The DLS range uses a moving prism to focus the light beam that is adjusted mechanically making it easy to use and solves most applications.

The unit offers 2 output options and is simple to install as there is only one unit required, with the adjustable range, set up is quick and easy.

This rugged sensor is designed to work in all industrial situations with a high IP66 rating and a powerful beam that can even be used in ‘dirty’ environments.

Do your light-curtains comply with the latest safety standards?

In 2010 many important changes will be introduced concerning the regulations on safety of machinery and the relevant international standards.

These changes particularly concern the family of standards under the umbrella of ISO 13849, IEC 61508 and IEC 62061 which have been published in recent years along with the new machinery directive 2006/42/EC which will come into force on 29th December 2009.

The new standards concentrate on the concept of ‘functional safety’ of safety related control systems for machinery and protection devices.

These include PLs (Performance Levels) and SILs (Safety Integrity Levels). PL and SIL run alongside and in many ways replace the now familiar concept of category of ‘Safety Categories’ featured in the ‘old’ EN954-1.

Customise your control gear Why not customise your machine or panel by using Baco pushbuttons marked with text or symbols?

Some applications require more than just standard legend plates. With the latest range from Baco we can offer customised pushbuttons to suit your exact requirement. Simply order the pushbutton head and specify the required cap or lens. There are a wide range of standard text / symbol codes to choose from or you can even specify your own.

It is also possible to mark other products in the range with customised text. This could be an emergency stop mushroom head or even a complete assembled control station.

IP 67

Temperature

High IP value

High shaft load capacity

Shock/vibration resistant

The new F36 absolute encoder from Kubler is designed with a new compact housing of 36mm making the encoder easy to mount in all applications where space is restricted and mounting is difficult.

For the F36, Kubler has developed a new optical sensor (Opto ASIC) with Intelligent-Scan-Technology. This new development makes the encoder completely immune to magnetic interference. It also means that the multiturn version has no gears; greatly increasing durability, reliability and resistance to shock and vibration.

The compact size doesn’t mean a compromise in the specification of other important features such as: • High shaft loadings with rugged Safety Lock BearingsTM

• -40 to +90°C temperature range

• IP67 protection

• 41 bit resolution (multi-turn)

• 17 bit resolution (single turn)

The robust nature and miniature size of the Sendix F36 makes this encoder a great option for all applications from medical equipment to pick and place machines.
