SMC, the world’s leading provider of pneumatics, has rolled out the CG1-Z, an updated clean-profile, round air cylinder. Customers benefit from reduced assembly and maintenance costs, with greater operational flexibility, thanks to the CG1-Z’s many new features that include the ability to make fine adjustments to the auto switch position by simply loosening the attached screw. A transparent auto switch bracket improves the visibility of the LED colour indicator, which is all part of SMC’s focus to refine and improve the performance and functionality of its products so they deliver competitive advantages. Available with female and male threads, the CG1-Z also saves space when using a female thread which is up to 52mm shorter than its male counterpart. With many mounting options, the CG1-Z can also be mounted directly by using a square rod cover, removing the need for brackets, again saving valuable space and installation time. It has a bore range of Ø20…

With the new display module PLICSLED, the switching status of a sensor can be read from afar, even in strong sunlight. The module is compatible with all sensors of the plics® family with relay output: VEGASWING series 60, VEGAVIB series 60, VEGAWAVE series 60, VEGACAP series 60 and VEGAMIP series 60. Since external wiring is unnecessary, the time needed for installation is reduced to a minimum. Power is supplied via the relay electronics. The second relay output is used to control the switching status display. Depending on the module version, the switching status is displayed in the colour combination red-green or yellow-green. PLICSLED is installed directly inside the plics® sensor housing, which gives it a high degree of protection from dust and water ingress.

Extra reinforced posts for increased machine safety Qimarox has made the Securyfence safety fencing system even more robust by modifying the default post. In addition, for long safety fencing constructions, Quimarox has developed extra reinforced posts, which makes it unnecessary to use struts or other reinforcements. These posts are so sturdy that it is possible to mount a walk-in protection system to the fencing entirely free of vibration. The standard post in the Securyfence range is strengthened by turning the base plate 45 degrees. This means that bolts for anchoring to the floor are no longer located at the four corners, but at the four sides of the post. The forces exerted on the post can therefore be better absorbed and dissipated. The new, extra reinforced post has the same base plate, but has an extended U-shaped profile which provides extra strength. This post is particularly suitable for extra-long safety fencing structures and obviates the need to use struts. An additional advantage is that the shape…

Building weighing systems made easier. For contemporary industrial weighing, strain gage load cells are the standard. Characteristics such as a high accuracy, reliability, compact sizes and universal application contribute to their popularity. In practice, the value of correct and precise mounting of load cells is hugely under estimated. A loading assembly will assist in the tricky task of setting up load cells in the most effective manner. First of all, a good loading assembly guarantees proper force introduction, protecting against unwanted forces while providing a lift off protection at the same time. Secondly, modern loading assemblies allow for installation of the load cell during construction time, for example while welding, drilling and grinding, is done. In this way, they prevent the load cell from overload or the load cell cable accidentally being cut during mounting. As soon as the construction is finished the load cell can be installed and secured, rendering the system weighing. The Levermount…

MOLOSsafe offfers the maximum safety for silo installations that are pneumatically filled Do you store the raw materials for the production in silos? Are these silos not controlled by a process control system? Do you still want a fully automated control of the silos especially during the pneumatic filling processes in order to avoid definitely a potentially overload of a silo? In this case MOLOSsafe is the absolutely right solution for you! MOLOSsafe from MOLLET is a complete and independent protection system and the best possible protection for silos that are pneumatically filled by silo-vehicles. It protects from overflow of the silos, damage of the silo tanks and filter systems by overpressure or vacuum, soiling of the manufacturing plant as well as incorrect filling. Consequently it serves for working security, value conservation of the plant and environmental protection. The basic package consists of a high level indicator, a silo filling device, a control and a signal horn. As soon as the full detector gives the signal “silo full” to the…
