EPLAN

Next step: “Thermal Design Integration”

At the 2015 SPS IPC Drives, Eplan, Phoenix Contact and Rittal are presenting “Thermal Design Integra-tion” – new possibilities for the standardised design of energy-efficent control cabinets with climate control systems. This integrated virtual engineering means companies can avoid design errors with the climate control systems and prevent unnecessary downtimes and service calls, thereby reducing costs while increasing process quality.

Morgan Advanced Materials awarded combat helmet contract by Canada’s Department of National Defence

The Composites and Defence Systems business of Morgan Advanced Materials has been awarded the Canadian CM735 Combat Helmet contract. The improved helmet features an innovative ultra-lightweight hybrid composite structure, the result of more than three years of materials research and development and achieves outstanding ballistic performance at an extraordinarily low weight. Morgan’s extensive capabilities have supplied over one million combat helmets as part of the company’s LASA (Lightweight Armored Soldier Architecture) line of products.

Fluke Process Instruments

Kiln and furnace temperature logs analyzed and optimized

Berlin – Operators of kilns and furnaces can now make the best of their resources: the new DATAPAQ Insight Basic software from Fluke Process Instruments enables precise and fast analysis of thermal processes. The manufacturer also supplies a full range of thermal barriers and data loggers that record temperature profiles while inside the furnace or kiln. Trimmed down to the essentials but with highly useful application-specific tools, DATAPAQ Insight Basic is the right software for manufacturers working in a competitive market. A new contour plot function generates heat maps of 2D products, allowing line operators to pinpoint hot and cold spots and identify possible causes such as faulty burners. Ceramics manufacturers can rely on the tested and proven quartz index analysis function for close monitoring of heating and cooling rates across the quartz inversion zone. They can set alarms for time at temperature and slopes. Usability has been further improved through a new, simplified process file template, which gathers together all process and oven parameters. DATAPAQ Insight Basic is available in 14 languages. Users can toggle between selected languages on the fly. The software fully supports the new DATAPAQ TP3 data loggers with up to 20 thermocouples, including support for multiple thermocouple types, up to ten runs before data read-out, multiple events, start/stop triggers, real-time process monitoring via radio, and Bluetooth connectivity.
