EO Adds More Than 30 Lenses To Techspec Range

Edmund Optics (EO) has expanded its line of Techspec imaging and machine-vision lenses. The company has added more than 30 EO-designed and -manufactured lenses, including Techspec fixed focal length and telecentric lenses, to its catalogue and website. These new lenses will be showcased at the Vision Show, which is scheduled to take place in November 2009 in Stuttgart (Hall 4, Booth A15).

The expanded offerings include four different product lines: Techspec Compact Fixed Focal Length lenses; Techspec Compact Telecentrics; Techspec Large Format Telecentrics; and Techspec High Resolution Telecentrics. EO also offers customised solutions for those with special application needs. The EO Techspec Compact Fixed Focal Length lenses are designed with the working distance and resolution requirements of factory automation and inspection in mind.

The lenses support imaging sensors as large as 2-3in and are available in focal lengths of 8.5mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm and 35mm. A broadband anti-reflective coating offers improved light transmission, making these lenses suitable for restrictive lighting conditions, according to the company. Telecentric lenses offer low distortion and distance-independent magnification, making them suitable for metrology and gauging applications in machine-vision applications.

The Techspec Compact Telecentrics offer 65mm and 110mm working distances at magnifications ranging from 0.5x to 4x. The Techspec Large Format Telecentrics support sensors up to 28.7mm diagonal with 4M-pixel resolution and come in a variety of magnifications and camera mount styles. The Techspec High Resolution Telecentrics support sensors as large as 2-3in with 5M-pixel resolution and come in 0.28x, 0.5x, 0.9x and 1.7x magnifications.

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.
