Laser copy counters SCATEC - When every
copy counts |
| |
 Baumer
Electric: The SCATEC family of laser copy counters is suited to
counting newspapers and magazines in one lap stream. The recognition
principle used by SCATEC is based on a patented optical edge detection
method. This method renders the SCATEC family extremely insensitive to
colors. Matte to high-gloss printed objects (e.g., gold labels) can be
reliably registered up to the maximum counting rate. The SCATEC family
provides solutions that are optimally tailored to the most varied
applications. The SCATEC-10 registers copy thicknesses from 0,1 mm and
up and allows counting rates up to 3 million copies/hour. It can be
programmed either by way of the integrated panel with text display or
using special software for analysis and parameter setting. The SCATEC-15
also has a CAN interface that can be used to retrieve all data or to
program the sensor for a new product. An integrated retro-reflective
sensor registers and analyzes the gaps ... |

New FAST way to increased accuracy of the
Optidew Cooled Mirror Hygrometer |
| |
 Michell
instruments has developed a new technology to increase the accuracy
and reliability of their cooled mirror instruments. The Frost Assurance
System Technology (FAST) works by ensuring that, for temperatures below
0°C, the ‘dew point’ reading is always taken from the formation of ice
crystals, rather than water droplets. The new system is now being
incorporated into the Optidew range of cooled mirror instruments.
Although these hygrometers are already highly accurate, being able to
give moisture readings down to a level of -40°Cdp, some applications
need even higher levels of accuracy. Water doesn’t always freeze at 0°C
– in some circumstances super-cooled water can exist at much lower
temperatures. This can be caused by contaminants in the gas being tested
for moisture, or even build up of residue on the cooled mirror surface.
Super-cooled water condenses at a slightly different temperature to
‘normal’ ice formation, and the errors involved are typically equal to
10%. ... |

 Baumer
Electric: The new ZDDM 050T sheet sensor from Baumer ensures the
high quality of bound print products in collating machines. For this
task, a 60 x 80 mm image is taken of every sheet at a specified point in
rapid sequence and this image is compared to a previously taught
reference image. The fully integrated image analysis system activates a
simple switching output (accept/reject). Based on this information,
corrective actions may be initiated in the machine. The Accept/Reject
signal is presented on a display together with additional information.
If necessary, individual images or additional information for sheet
recognition can be retrieved via Ethernet. An intelligent teach-in
process performed at the beginning of every print run ensures optimal
recognition of the sheets. In Run mode, up to 10 sheets per second are
analyzed at a speed of up to 3 m/s. The sheets, which may be printed
either matte or glossy, may be between 110 and 500 mm in length and up

Pressure Peak Recording, Hydraulic
Systems - Keeping Pressure Peaks Under Control |

 LEO
1 – the microprocessor-controlled digital pressure peak gauge from
KELLER AG für Druckmesstechnik – polls the value for the pressure
variable in a process 5000 times each second. The result: reliable
detection of the dreaded pressure peaks – often of extremely short
duration – due to fast-switching hydraulic valves, pump units and other
causes. This means that prompt action can be taken to prevent damage due
to cavitation, etc. The dual digital display updates the measured value
and the minimum or maximum value attained twice every second. In the
compensated temperature range from 0 to 50 °C, typical overall accuracy
is 0,2 %FS (Full Scale). In addition, the LEO 1 from KELLER offers a
feature that is especially useful in practice: each current measured
value can be defined as the reference, simply by pressing a button. When
this is done, the digital manometer no longer shows the actual value but
the deviations from the specified setpoint instead. With just two keys,

fotovoltaici determina l’utilizzo di tipi di silicio sempre più
efficienti, ma non solo: anche la produzione dei wafer deve essere resa
sempre più economica, di alta qualità e di grandi quantità. Per questo
tipo di monitoraggio della produzione HBM offre una catena di misura che
consiste di un trasduttore e dell’amplificatore di misura digiCLIP. Il
sistema di monitoraggio costante della produzione apporta svariate
migliorie: gli errori e i guasti vengono identificati ed eliminati più
velocemente, le perdite di materiale e i costi di produzione ridotti, la
qualità e il rendimento energetico del prodotto finale notevolmente
migliorati. ... |

The COMPACTplus-XSS/R reliably detects
paper rolls and other closed rectangular contours |
| |
 Leuze:
The new COMPACTplus-XSS/R Safety Light Curtains (XSS: eXtended Shape
Scanning) are used with roll printing processes. They guard the access
area when feeding in rectangular objects, such as paper rolls in the
print and paper industry, for example. Similar to Muting – the properly
intended and time-limited suppression of the safety function – the
Safety Light Curtain mounted at a tilt detects the paper roll where the
rolls are fed in on the basis of its closed rectangular shape, and
allows it to pass as an access-allowed object. A person entering the
COMPACTplus-XSS/R protective field is detected as an access-denied
object on the basis of their contour and their movements, and the
dangerous movement is stopped instantly. This solution reduces the
expenses for the user compared with previous Muting solutions, because
no separate Muting sensors and Muting indicators are required. A side
access guarding with additional testable Single Light Beam Safety
Devices is also easy to set up, as the COMPACTplus-XSS/R Receiver also
has an integrated type 2 test unit. Furthermore the COMPACTplus-XSS/R
Safety Light Curtain also has a 2-sensor Muting system, whereby a
switchover between the shape scanning and the 2-sensor Muting is
automatic. ... |

Produzione efficiente grazie
all’elettronica di bus di campo di HBM |
| |
 HBM:
Nei moderni settori di costruzione di macchine e impianti i macchinari
di produzione devono essere soprattutto efficienti e funzionali. Un
altro fattore molto importante è però anche la minimizzazione dei tempi
e costi di installazione e di manutenzione, proprio in considerazione
dell’impiego su scala mondiale dei macchinari. L’elettronica di misura
della famiglia PME di HBM è tagliata su misura proprio per questo tipo
di esigenze. Questa compatta elettronica di misura riduce in modo
efficace i costi di produzione. Viene impiegata nei settori misurazione,
comando, regolazione e documentazione. Ogni modulo dispone di un canale
di misura estremamente stabile e ad alta risoluzione per la misurazione
di grandezze meccaniche quali forza, pressione, coppia, numero di giri,
temperatura e segnali analogici in corrente e in tensione. Tramite i
sistemi digitali integrati di elaborazione e di condizionamento, i
segnali vengono valutati. I valori limite, le uscite analogiche o le
interfacce digitali inoltrano i segnali a un sistema di controllo
subordinato. Per garantire un alto livello di integrazione i moduli PME
dispongono di diverse interfacce di bus di campo. ... |

Predestined for printing operations: the
new SOLID-2/SF Multiple Light Beams Safety Devices |
| |
 Leuze:
The sheet delivery of sheet-fed printing machines is the work station
where the printed sheets of paper are automatically laid on a palette.
In this area the operator must be able to reach in to move palettes in
and out, remove print tests or insert pile wedges. Opto-electronic
protective devices have been tried, tested and proven in this area for
guarding against injuries and complying with normative specifications.
With the new SOLID-2/SF Multiple Light Beam Safety Device, printing
machine manufacturers now have a safety solution that unites all SOLID
benefits and meets the requirements of the C-type standard, EN 1010-2.
EN 1010 specifies how the guarding must be set up and operated at the
sheet delivery area, to make the operation more efficient and safer at
the same time. In practice this means that with SOLID-2/SF Multiple
Light Beam Safety Devices, the safety function of individual beams can
be suppressed under certain conditions when the process requires this,
such as when placing in empty palettes or driving in auxiliary
materials, for example. ... |

 Sensor
Technology è una piccola società Hi Tech che si occupa dello
sviluppo e della produzione di trasduttori di coppia rotante, il cui
funzionamento è fondato sulla tecnologia SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave),
ossia sullo sfruttamento dell'onda acustica superficiale. La Società,
coinvolta anche nella concessione di licenze per questa tecnologia. è di
proprietà di Anthony e Bryan Londsale e di Tony Ingham. Da 27 anni ha
sede in prossimità di Banbury, Oxfordshire, nel pittoresco ambiente di
un mulino ad acqua convertito nel nuovo stabilimento. La Società si è
sempre contraddistinta nella ricerca di nuove soluzioni per i suoi
clienti impegnati nel settore dei sistemi di magnetometria e di
navigazione e dei sensori di coppia. In realtà, è stato proprio
lavorando su un sistema di navigazione e magnetometria, nel 1990, che
Anthony Lonsdale si trovò a dover affrontare problematiche legate ai
dispositivi SAW in uso e realizzò che esisteva la possibilità di
convertire in beneficio tale svantaggio, ossia di utilizzare i
dispositivi SAW per la misurazione delle tensioni. ... |

Looking towards the South-East - Cognex
Opens Strategic Office in Vienna |
| |
|
Cognex, the world leader in vision systems, vision software, vision
sensors and surface inspection systems, opened a new strategic office in
Vienna on 30 May 2008. With its new sales centre, Cognex is
sending out a clear signal beyond Austria's borders to the markets of
Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The company has its sights focused on
countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and
Romania. The new office will act as a link to Europe's centres of
technology, giving these countries better access to vision technologies.
The selection of Vienna as a location was thus also based on strategic
considerations. David Hinchliffe, District Sales Manager for Austria and
Eastern Europe, commented on the opening of the new office in Vienna,
"The growing markets in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe mean that the
channels required for knowledge transfer must be kept as short as
possible. Vision technology is today a core feature of all top-class
industrial automation structures and can play an important role in the
continued development of growth markets in Eastern Europe." He went on
to add, "We want to provide crucial support for this development
process". ... |

 With
the product line “temperature sensor technology”, JUMO is the
leading manufacturer and supplier of temperature sensors for heat meters
in Europe. The heat meter, like other measurement devices, is used for
the billing of goods or services (here heating costs) and thus is
subject to the legally binding metrology. In order to be able to be used
in commercial operations, the measurement device previously had to have
a model authorisation. In the required authorisation test, at first the
construction of the device was tested for compliance with the legal
requirements and for the measurement stability. After the measurement
device had been produced, the correct measurement was tested in a state
run testing authority which is independent from the manufacturer. The
measurement device did not receive the calibration stamp until then. ... |

Crevice-free compact pressure transmitter
for industrial and automotive applications |
| |
 With
the Series 22 S and 22 M, Keller AG für Druckmesstechnik,
Winterthur (Switzerland), has introduced a wide range of pressure
transmitters that are totally crevice-free after assembly. The brazing
technique that the company has developed has made the use of internal
O-ring seals obsolete for many applications. The parts that come into
contact with the media are made from stainless steel (AISI 316L) in the
Series 22 S transmitters. In the Series 22 M the steel piezoresistive
pressure measuring cell is brazed to the brass pressure connection using
a nickel diaphragm. Brazing in tunnel furnaces has considerable cost
advantages in comparison to the usual electron beam welding at measuring
ranges up to 250 bar. The Series 22 pressure transmitters are available
in finely graduated pressure ranges from 5 bar to 250 bar sealed gauge.

Laser sensors for reflecting surface |
| |
 Special
sensors for optical distance measurement of direct reflecting materials
are now available from Micro-Epsilon. Designated as the optoNCDT
1700DR, this new series expands the manufacturer’s already extensive
sensor family. Three sensors with the measuring ranges of 2mm, 10mm and
20mm are designed specifically for use with polished metals, glass or
chrome-plated products. The high measuring rate of 2.5kHz and the
maximum resolution of 0.1µm make precise measurement of the desired
targets possible. The reflected laser beam is guided into the receiving
array by tilting the sensor and is then directly converted into an
electrical signal by the integrated controller. The design is identical
to the successful optoNCDT 1700 standard series. As well as the
integrated controller, the series also incorporates a foil keypad
directly on the sensor, whereby adjustments without configuration
software are possible. The comprehensive ILD Tool 1700 software, which
also makes a measured value display possible, is included as standard
for more simplified operation of the sensor at a computer. A different
tilt angle is ... |

10 milioni di alternanze di carico a
±3.000 µm/m - gli estensimetri ottici ampliano le possibilità di
misurazione dell’estensione |
| |
 Per
l’analisi sperimentale delle tensioni e i test strutturali HBM
propone da subito estensimetri ottici (ER) per la misurazione
dell’estensione. Questi ER si basano sui cosiddetti reticoli di bragg in
fibra. I vantaggi degli ER ottici sono palesi. Per quanto riguarda la
vita a fatica raggiungono i 10 milioni di cicli di carico con una
deformazione alternata di ±3.000 µm/m. Ecco perché questi sensori sono
imbattibili in termini di durata ad esempio su materiali plastici
rinforzati in fibra in situazioni che prevedono elevate deformazioni
alternate. All’interno di una fibra di vetro possono essere applicati
più sensori, riducendo in questo modo il dispendio richiesto
dall’installazione. La modifica della lunghezza d’onda a seguito di una
deformazione meccanica in un range di deformazione di più di ±10.000
µm/m, è lineare. Gli estensimetri ottici sono particolarmente adatti a
misurazioni in ambienti con pericolo di esplosione e su componenti della
tecnica a corrente forte ed alta tensione. ... |
