Commsaudit Selects Mydata Pick-And-Place Machine

Mydata has revealed that its MY100LX pick-and-place machine has enabled Commsaudit to bring all of its printed-circuit manufacturing operations in house. As a result, the company can now respond even faster to the requirements of its customers, while also retaining total control over product quality. Commsaudit manufactures very high technology products in small quantities, and the company had, until recently, always subcontracted the assembly of its printed circuit boards.

The company decided that it wanted to make board assembly an in-house function and selected a Mydata MY100LX to meet its requirements. The MY100LX uses the Agilis feeders system, which is said to facilitate fast changeovers and handle difficult components, and also offers placement accuracy and reliability. The order was placed just before the Christmas break and the machine was installed and fully operational by the end of January.

To complement its MY100LX machine, Commsaudit also purchased Mydata's Mycentre software, which runs on a PC and provides an intuitive graphical interface for machine set-up. The Mydata My100LX machine bought by Commsaudit has a rated speed of 15,000cph. It is part of the new MY100 family of machines, which also includes the MY100DX, rated at 34,000cph and the MY100SX, rated at 21,500cph.

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.
