MacDermid To Exhibit Screen-Printing Technology

MacDermid Autotype will exhibit screen-making products and digital and industrial substrates at Fespa 2010, which is due to take place at Messe Munich in Germany on 22-26 June. Exhibiting in conjunction with the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA), the company's focus will be on helping screen-printing and design companies maximise consistency and improve quality while minimising environmental impact. MacDermid Autotype's screen-making product range includes Five Star, Capillex and Plus emulsions.

The company's CPS Division has developed ecological screen-cleaning chemicals, which will also be shown at Fespa 2010. These include hazard label-free solvents, low- and non-caustic haze removers and concentrated liquid stencil removers and degreasers. CPS chemicals allow users to achieve optimum cleaning standards while using less chemicals, meaning that each litre of product cleans more screens and lasts longer than other products. Service life is extended further as the chemicals can be recycled and reused.

The CPS range of products has been designed to combine good performance with environmental responsibility, making them a safer alternative to traditional chemicals used for mesh preparation, ink removal and stencil reclamation. MacDermid Autotype provides digital and industrial films, including its hard-coated polyester films for producing membrane keyboards, keypads and fascia panels.

Featured in this range is Autotex Steel, a new film that allows designers to produce stainless-steel effects from a thin, flexible and formable film, combining good colour reproduction and definition with a tough outer surface that also offers resistance to a range of chemicals and solvents. The company will also feature its antimicrobial film, which has been developed for the production of displays, fascia, graphic panels and other applications requiring high levels of clarity, durability and scratch and chemical resistance. The films feature inbuilt Microban anti-microbial protection, which is designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould and fungi.

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.
