Universal Code Reader For Industrial Applications

The MAC335 universal code reader from Pepperl and Fuchs can read all common 1D and 2D code symbols within a large range and without requiring mechanical modifications. A host of features such as Javascript functions, a high resolution, IP65 protection and the Vision Configurator operating software make this reader suitable for many industrial applications. The MAC335 is an economical compact reader with small mounting dimensions and is designed for stationary reading.

The MAC335 can read codes within a large range from 20mm to 300mm. This means codes can be read without having to mechanically adjust the lenses or use different lenses or other code reader versions. Its 1.3megapixel resolution enables it to read both very small and large codes without having to change settings. The Javascript functionality enables the reader to be linked into all common programs and permits evaluations to be carried out on the reader itself.

It is also possible to perform assignments directly on the reader, for example, that this engine belongs to the vehicle group manufactured on this conveyor, and similar tasks. This feature often means that there is no need for a PC to be installed downstream for evaluation purposes.

To get around the problem of familiarisation with operating different code readers, Pepperl and Fuchs has developed a standard operator interface, the Vision Configurator. Using this, all parameters can be set by the user and, among other features, images from the reader can be displayed. This code reader can additionally be parameterised without the use of operating software using Data Matrix control codes. With its robust enclosure and IP65 protection, the MAC335 is also suitable for heavy industrial use.

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.
