ES Introduces Fibre-Coupled Diode-Laser Module

ES Technology, distributor for the range of Dilas diode-laser components, has announced the development of a high-brightness, conduction-cooled, fibre-coupled diode-laser module. This latest development is based on diode-laser bars that provide up to 40W output power from a 100-micron fibre core at a wavelength of 976nm and with a numerical aperture of 0.22.

The new module will ensure high power, brightness and power efficiency, with wall-plug efficiency of greater than 40 per cent of operating current being achieved by Dilas during testing. The electrically isolated single-bar package has a small footprint, measuring 70mm in length, 30mm in width and 17mm in height. The laser power from the fibre-coupled module is delivered via a non-detachable fibre core, which is terminated with a standard SMA 905 connector or cleaved fibre end. With excellent heat removal by direct thermal contact, this industrial package is suitable for a variety of applications, ranging from fibre laser pumping to micro-materials processing and medical.

The module will be officially released in the third quarter of 2010; however, it is currently available by special order. In addition to the distribution of Dilas laser products and other electro-optic components, ES Technology also provides subcontract laser-marking services, after-sales services and parts, sales and service for ULS flatbed CO2 lasers and the design and manufacture of laser-marking systems. The company is also the UK and Ireland distributor for Concept Laser and its range of Lasercusing systems.

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.
