Micro Dispenser Enables Range Of Media Dosing

Integrated Dispensing Systems has announced its appointment as exclusive distributor for UK and Eire for Preeflow Micro Dispensing Systems manufactured by Viscotec. Viscotec has developed a micro dispenser system utilising the Endless Piston Principle that enables the dosing of a multitude of different media with just one dispenser unit. With dosing accuracies of +1 per cent and repeatability of more than 99 per cent, a considerable saving in product wastage can be realised.

With the dispensing systems, users can accurately dose low-viscosity fluids to high-viscosity pastes from 0.001ml upwards from dots to beads. Preeflow dispensers can dispense oils, greases, sealants, adhesives, silicones, foodstuffs or abrasive media. The volume dosed is unaffected by temperature, pressure or viscosity. All Preeflow dispensers and dosing systems have the instant reverse-flow feature for clean, controlled material separation with no dripping or stringing. The most recent addition to the range is Viscotec's smallest volumetric dispenser so far, the Eco-pen, 300 which is capable of dispensing from 0.001ml with a flow rate of 0.12-1.48ml/min.

Weighing 380g, it is a compact, self-contained volumetric dispenser. Purpose built stands, clamps and material supply options are also available. There are two other larger dispensers - the Eco-pen 450 and Eco-pen 600 - offering a minimum dose quantity of 0.004 and 0.015ml respectively. Dosing fluid pressures as high as 16 to 20 bar can be achieved for high-viscosity materials. To control the Eco-pen micro dispensers, Preeflow offers custom-built microprocessor-based controllers with a user-friendly interface.

These controllers allow the user to store multiple dosing programmes on a removable SD Memory Card. For clients currently using syringe-type time and pressure-dispensing systems, IDS offers an inexpensive upgrade option. This allows users to keep their current controllers and, by connecting a Plug-n-Dose interface unit, to upgrade to the Eco-pen.

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.
