Kasto To Show Metal Cutting And Storage Solutions

Kasto will showcase technical solutions for the economic cutting and storage of metal in businesses of all sizes at the Open House Futuredays2010 event on 5-7 May. Its solutions are suitable for job shops, machine and tool manufacturing, steel and non-ferrous metal distribution and sheet-metal processors. The company will exhibit the entire delivery and performance range, comprising sawing machines, sawing systems, sawing/storing solutions, bar-stock and sheet-metal storage systems, software and services.

At the same time, Kasto will hold an opening ceremony for its new demonstration centre. A variety of topics will be presented under the motto 'Sawing, Storage and More'. 'More Performance' will be demonstrated with Kasto performance cutting in the Kastotec series. The large Bandsaw Kastomaxcut with a 2m working range reaches new dimensions in high-performance bandsaws. 'More Evolution' will be shown using the newly designed Kastoevo and Kastoverto industry production bandsaws.

They demonstrate how progress in modern design can lead to quiet and safe cutting. 'More Logistics' will be seen with different storage solutions for bar stock and sheet metal. Here, the focus will be the fully automatic handling of bars and plates. Another focus point during Futuredays2010 will be a newly designed machine program of hack, band and circular saws for use in machine shops and metal processing. Visitors will see and experience the new technology in the company's 600m2 demonstration centre and in a new 5,000m2 assembly building, which is designed for the assembly and run-off of large and heavy-duty saws and storage systems.

This exhibition will also include presentations from partner companies working in the surrounding fields of sawing machines and bar-stock/sheet-metal storage systems. The Association of German Steel Distributors (BDS) and the initiative for metal machine shops, dubbed 'Metal and More', will be represented. Each day, there will be a selection of lectures about the cutting and storage of metal and the commissioning of metal and bar stock.

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.
