Just in time for the Hanover Exhibition Balluff introduces a new, intelligent, energy-saving power supply especially for use in wind energy equipment. The semi-potted device with an efficiency rating of 93% is designed for high shock and vibration loads and an extremely long service life of nearly 20 years with a MTBF of 800,000 hours. A key feature: this is the first power supply which can be connected directly to the generator voltage without need for an intermediate transformer. Also completely unique are the optical indicators which display the status and condition of the unit. Since it tracks dynamic loads, it can be operated continuously even under high load conditions. This makes reserves of from 30 to 50% no longer needed.
CIAT launches Space Gas, a new range of roof-tops with an integrated condensation gas burner. The range covers a variety of power ratings from 60 kW to 142 kW, and is made up of 10 models in cooling-only modes with integrated gas burner, or heat pump with integrated support gas burner, and uses R-410A refrigerant. This equipment is designed to meet the needs of retail and industrial areas.
EMCO introduces the maximum version of the EMCO Vertical VT 250 with driven tools, Y axis and hollow spindle drive. Thus EMCO - in cooperation with EMCO Magdeburg - enlarges its product range with two additional versions of the VT 250: VT 250 M (ISM) with driven tools and hollow spindle drive and the VT 250 MY (ISM) with a Y axis on top. Equipped with a hollow spindle drive instead of a belt drive the new two versions perform with a drive power of 29 kW. The VT 250 MY with Y axis offers a travel of 180(+/-90) mm and can stand any competition - not only in regard to the price.
This is without doubt the most complete vision system on the market. Already at top performance levels for speed, resolution, stability and the range of software tools, the XG-7000 Series can now also be programmed in a PC environment. The calculating power is located in a controller dedicated to image processing and not in a PC, thus avoiding problems of overloading and maintainability. This vision system combines flexibility, stability, and performance with simplicity. It can be used by all, for all applications.
The PC-based, explosion-protected operating systems from the Open HMI series can now, on request, be fitted with innovative 15" displays that reduce glare and reflections to a minimum. The displays of these models can be read easily even in bright sunlight, since a filter pack effectively diverts even strong incoming ambient light. The new solution is based on a very effective combination of polarisation filters placed on top of and behind one another in front of the display.
The C151 z-a series attracted a great deal of attention when it was introduced at the latest AEROMART show, held recently in Toulouse. With its autosensing capability, this marking machine is particularly targeted at the aeronautics industry, offering good repeatability and traceability.
The Ludwigsburg-based automation specialist Jetter AG has launched its new JVM-407 graphics-capable HMI, designed especially for use in harsh environments.
