Mosca Showcases Ultrasonic Technology At Ipex

Mosca is exhibiting solutions for the graphics industry at Ipex, including its Sonixs ultrasonic technology and examples from its range of bundle strappers and pallet presses. Sonixs is said to offer considerable speed and sealing advantages over conventional strapping methods. Ultrasonic sealing is very efficient, with the tensile strength of the strap at 85 per cent. As a result, the strap can withstand greater stresses during transportation and it is also often possible to use lower cost, narrower or thinner strap material.

Sonixs machines are also said to be more economical and produce lower emissions, with practically no fumes or smells produced. Also, by avoiding heat sealing techniques, there is no residue buildup caused by melted strap to dispose of. The Mosca stand will feature several working Sonixs machines designed with the needs of the graphics industry in mind. Several bundle strappers will be on display, including the Sonixs TRP and the Sonixs TAI (comprising a Sonixs TRI in-strapper and a Sonixs-TR cross-strapper).

In addition, Mosca is showing the standalone Sonixs-MP semi-automatic strapping machine, which can strap at a rate of over 60 cycles per minute - as opposed to 40 cycles using a conventional heat-sealing machine. For pallets, Mosca is running a KCK-131 press that incorporates an integrated lift turn cross to enable four-way strapping. The machine is capable of speeds up to 120 pallets an hour for two parallel straps, or 60 pallets an hour for four-way cross-strapping. The final machine on the stand is Mosca's Romp-K high-speed standalone automatic strapping machine, designed for the wholesale distribution sector.

Using the same sealing head as Mosca's Romp-4, the new model offers a simplified design with a more compact body - allowing it to be placed in busy wholesale and distribution environments. Adding to the Romp-K's flexibility and convenience, a foot pedal is located on either side of the machine.

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.
