New ultrasonic sensor options simplify double sheet detection

New ultrasonic sensor options simplify double sheet detection

Double sheet detection where consistent and reliable detection of one or more layers of materials such as; foil, paper, cardboard, labels or even thin metal sheets can present complex challenges. If issues are not resolved they can lead to machine downtime, wasted materials and in some cases expensive repair costs. This can occur across a myriad of applications such as printing, packaging, automotive and finishing industries.

SIL 3 current drivers for hazardous areas

SIL 3 current drivers for hazardous areas

With new SIL 3 current drivers, Pepperl+Fuchs is completing its portfolio of SIL 3 isolated barriers for all types of signals – both as modules for DIN rail mounting and as isolating components for termination boards. Positioners in a SIL 3 application – which have always been available for digital signals from or into the field, and for analogue measuring signals – can now be connected directly to the controller with a single interface module. A SIL 3 application must no longer be realized via the elaborate path of redundant SIL 2 devices.

Flexible inverter for handling and positioning

Flexible inverter for handling and positioning

The NORDAC FLEX frequency inverter is the all-rounder among decentralised frequency inverters from Nord Drivesystems. Thanks to its direct motor mounting or close-to motor mounting, and a wide selection of functions, the inverter is said to be especially suitable for positioning applications or move and rotation tasks in handling technology. With available powers of up to 22 kW, it can also tackle larger positioning tasks.

Test confirms reduce grease consumption in bearings in high-pressure grinding rolls

Test confirms reduce grease consumption in bearings in high-pressure grinding rolls

SKF has extended its range of large bearings for roller presses, with a sealed version that prolongs service life. Its Explorer spherical roller bearings (SRBs) in the 241 series are now available up to 1250mm bore. This series and sizes are commonly used in high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs) in cement and mining industries.
