NIM Offers Ladle Cups For Die-Casting Machines

Northern Iron and Machine is offering an expanded line of replacement ladle cups and mounting brackets for most model die-casting machines. These cups come in 11 models with capacities from 0.44lbs/0.20kg to 33.70lbs/15.29kg. Ruggedly designed, these replacement ladle cups are heavy duty, 1/4in-thick ductile iron and have contoured shapes for smooth pouring and resistance to metal build-up. Cup surfaces have a texture that is suitable for ladle-coating adherence.

Hanger brackets for these replacement ladle cups have a universal design for left or right side use. Bolt-on design makes it easy to mount and tighten bracket and cup with minimal system downtime. No ladle or hanging-bracket modifications are needed using these replacement cups and mounting brackets. Available for most die-casting automated ladlers including Toshiba, Rimrock, Snair, Advance and UBE, custom ladle-cup designs are also available.

These customs may be based on a customer's own design requirements and may include features such as larger-than-standard metal-carrying capacity, customised hanger assemblies, custom pouring spouts and unique bowl shapes. Northern Iron and Machine also manufactures a full line of clamps for dies and the Versa Ram System. The Versa Ram System frees up die-casting machine seized plunger tips and simplifies retracting ejector plates for access to casting stuck in the dies.

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

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

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.
