GigE Cameras Fit Applications in Process Analysis

Stemmer has launched two high-speed GigE cameras for applications such as measurement, process analysis in machine building and industrial production, material testing and broadcasting. The CR3000x2 and CR4000x2 cameras from Optronis are available in monochrome and colour versions, and also feature the new Timebench software for intuitive camera control. The CR3000x2 features a fast, progressive scan CMOS sensor that has a resolution of 1,696 x 1,710 pixels and a frame rates up to 100,000fps, depending on the resolution selected.

The frame rate is 540fps at maximum resolution, while, at lower resolution, frame rates are 1,000fps for 1,200 x 1,200 pixels, 5000fps for 500 x 500 pixels and 100,000fps for 96 x 38 pixels. The CR4000x2 camera features a 4 megapixel image sensor with high sensitivity to light, making it ideal for imaging sequences in low-light conditions. In addition to the applications listed above, the CR4000x2 can be used in ballistics applications.

This camera can record images at 500fps at the full resolution of 2,304 x 1,720 pixels and 800fps at full-HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Both cameras have a choice of 2, 4 or 8GB internal memory. With 8GB memory, the CR3000x2 has a 5.5sec recording time at the full 8bit data rate, while the CR4000x2 has a recording time of 4sec. A rugged aluminium housing allows the cameras to be used in rough environments and they are supplied with a Nikon F-mount as standard or an optional C-mount.

Sequence recording can be triggered using an intelligent image-processing algorithm or by a conventional trigger signal. Pre- and post-trigger features ensure that events can be observed irrespective of when they occurred. Timebench software allows the complete setup of all camera parameters and features a navigation slidebar. It shows images in real time and enables the analysis and storage of high-speed sequences. It can be used with single-camera applications or for synchronous multi-camera operation. Timebench provides distance, velocity and frequency measurements, and allows the export of AVI video files.

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.
