MD’s comment Adding value Our basic business idea is to represent some of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial automation components and supply these directly to UK based OEM machinery manufacturers.

However a part of our business that is growing fast is what we call “added value ”. This is where we use our products to make up sub-assemblies, or modify standard products to better suit the customers’ application. The aim is to make life easier for our customers and save them time and hassle when the ordering and fitting. If this sounds interesting to you then please contact us and we will be more than happy to discuss how we can help.

Despite several punctures, wrong turnings and minor accidents, four of our colleagues recently completed a sponsored cycle ride from Leicester to Skegness. Nik Page, Neil Bailey, Richard Hammond and Adam Parkin completed the ride of approx. 100miles in 6 hours 8 minutes and are shown here just before their dawn start from our office. They raised £2135 pounds for our nominated children’s charity Bamboozle so well done to them and a big thank you to their sponsors. If you’re interested in the great work that Bamboozle do then please visit www.bamboozletheatre.co.uk.

Still using AC rated MCB’s for protecting DC loads?

LOCC-Box from Lutze is an intelligent current monitoring device that provides reliable protection of dc circuits in a slim line 8.1mm housing.

Traditional MCB’s are designed to protect against short circuits on ac loads but do not offer adequate protection for overload conditions in dc circuits. In addition many typical dc power supplies are not able to deliver enough short circuit current to blow or trip the protection. The problem only gets worse as the cable gets longer and in many cases the system is effectively unprotected!

The LOCC-Box electronic fuses have no moving parts and use a microprocessor to accurately measure current. This means short circuit and over current fault situations are detected and acted upon immediately even where long cable runs are employed.

The units can be grouped together to protect multiple branch circuits with fault finding made easy due to built in status indicators and a fault signalling output.

Combine the unit with communication output plus a gateway module and you open up many more possibilities. This includes free software for monitoring and analyzing all parameters plus the ability to remotely monitor and reset multiple units.

It is often a real challenge for the user to achieve good level control in large silos or in some containers with difficult access. The direct adjustment of a sensor in a large container is often not possible due to the access being too dangerous to enter, too high or possibly space is extremely limited.

Rechner’s EasyTeach technology has

Length and inclination measurement with one single device!

Draw wire system with integrated inclinometer.

Sensors have become indispensable in the mobile automation market; they make a major contribution to the sophistication and safety of the systems in which they are fitted. Draw wire devices are the preferred choice for length measurement applications, where inclinometers are used in applications such as vehicle levelling. This means that the vehicle manufacturer has to select and integrate two separate components when addressing their specific applications.

Kuebler has created the solution to remedy this problem; length and inclination measurement in one single device.

The new draw wire systems C100 and D125 have an integrated inclinometer and still remain very compact and easy to install.

Key features: • Output types: Analogue, Incremental, CANopen, Relay outputs or Switching outputs • Measuring range: 1...5 m for the C100 and 6...10 m for the D125 • Protection level IP67 • Temperature range of 40°C ... +85°C • M12 connection • Power supply 9 ... 30 V DC or 5 V DC For more information please contact Gareth Ford on 0116 2849900 or e-mail gareth.ford@uk.oem.se
