Barcode Scanner Enables Automatic Identification

SICK has launched the CLV65X barcode scanner to bring fast, automatic identification to a range of industrial applications. The CLV65X Smart scanner has up to a 6m/sec read rate, with improved decoding and stable reading rates on low-contrast, partly destroyed or partially hidden barcodes. It is suitable for use in a number of industries, including automotive, materials handling, logistics, electronics, pharmaceutical, packaging, food and beverage, and in forklift applications.

Using Time of Flight Technology (TOFT) the scanner measures the time the laser takes to reach a label and then adapts its focus accordingly, ensuring high performance over long ranges without the requirement for light switches to change focus positions. The CLV65X can be adapted according to user requirements and offers a flexible output format with a number of connection and fieldbus options to enable network and PLC connections. It is said to be the smallest scanner with integrated Ethernet and features a customised output data formation, reducing the programming required in the PLC.

The freely adaptable and conditional host data string means that the scanner doesn't need the PLC to manipulate data, enabling the generation of multiple data strings for CAN-to-Ethernet RS232. Easy to mount, with dual position cable entry and an intelligent auto setup, the scanner is said to be easy to install and set up. With the ability to run customer-specific scripts, the plug and play solution is also easy to programme and features a micro SD slot for seamless configuration and program change. The CLV65X ensures dependable diagnostics via email, with no additional Ethernet gateway required.

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...

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...

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.
