NL Machine Tool Distributes Monza Grinders

NL Machine Tool Consulting has announced that it is the exclusive UK distributor for Italian manufacturer Officine Monzesi. Officine Monzesi is the manufacturer of Viotto single and double disc grinders, Monvibro vibratory bowl/linear feeding units and bespoke automatic loading/unloading systems and Monza centreless grinding machines. The company is also launching a line of modular CNC centreless grinding machines.

The Monza Line 20 is based upon robustness, reliability and ergonomic layout. The range provides CNC solutions from one to eight axis, in six sizes, with grinding wheel from 300mm OD x 100mm wide, up to 610mm OD x 500mm wide, capable of grinding work pieces with a diameter up to 200mm, allowing high levels of stock removal with high standards of accuracy.

The machine base consists of an oversized one-piece cast-iron multiple-box section structure - heavily ribbed, vibration free and thermodynamically stable. Electronically interlocked safety protection (guarding) provides a high level of operator safety and environmental protection, yet allows easy access to the grinding area for machine set-up or when manual loading is required.

Working carriage modification allows grinding of smaller component diameters even when the driving wheel is completely used. The dressing process, when not controlled by CNC, has been transformed from hydraulic to electric, thus avoiding potential problems related to oil hydraulics. All motors are digital, including the regulating wheel rotation. The grinding wheel motor can be set to continuous constant surface speed.

Fully automatic wheel balancing is available as an option. The Monza Line 20 range of centreless grinding machines equipped with Fanuc CNC control systems and Officine Monzesi software provide CNC programs that are designed to monitor and analyse the grinding cycle and allow the operator to work without using ISO programming.

This flexibility allows the grinding cycle to be changed quickly and the set-up time to be reduced. A wide variety of application-specific loading/unloading systems are available as well as different types of post-process gauging systems, providing feedback information and automatic machine adjustment.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
