Movie Interface Simplifies Sequence Recording

Stemmer Imaging has introduced the CVB Movie Interactive user interface, which makes it easier to put together systems for recording sequences and archiving images. The company has been offering special algorithms for recording sequences on hard disks or in RAM for some time within its Common Vision Blox (CVB) imaging toolkit. Until now, these two tools - CVB Sequence and CVB Movie - have only been available as libraries.

This has meant that, in order to set up a system for recording sequences, it was invariably necessary to programme the user interface in addition to configuring the hardware. The software was either written by the user or provided by Stemmer Imaging as part of a custom development. With the new CVB Movie Interactive user interface, it is now easier for users to construct systems for capturing and archiving images. This interface features operating controls similar to those of a video recorder and can be used immediately to record and play image sequences, with no need to undertake any additional programming.

Typical applications for these systems include analysing faults in fast-moving production systems, observing scientific or technical experiments and collecting image material for later analysis. Filming crash tests and their subsequent analyses are the best-known applications in the automotive industry, but there are also numerous areas in medical technology, sport analysis and many other sectors where recording systems of this kind can be used. Users will be able to use fast, high-resolution cameras with many different interfaces, such as Firewire, USB, analogue, Cameralink or GigE Vision and all the available camera trigger modes.

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.
