JK to Showcase Industrial Lasers at Photonics Show

JK Lasers will be showcased a range of its industrial laser solutions at the 2011 Laser World of Photonics exhibition in Munich, Germany. During the event, due to be held at the Neue Messe Munchen on 23-26 May 2011, JK Lasers will exhibit a number of its newest products, including a 1kW Fiber Laser, 500W Fiber Laser and the JK System 5000 - a flexible workstation that can be integrated with lasers from the JK Fiber and Nd:YAG ranges.

With a variety of customisable options, including linear and rotary axes, process tools and scan heads, and proprietary software closely coupling motion and laser control, System 5000 provides a versatile solution for many industrial cutting, welding and drilling applications. A 400W modulated, air-cooled JK Fiber Laser will be integrated into the system, to demonstrate a combined metal cutting and welding operation on a single part, made from a material that is typically used for industrial applications.

This mid-power, air-cooled Fiber Laser is suited to a variety of industrial manufacturing and precision applications. It can be used with a selection of JK processing heads and combines single-mode fibre-beam delivery, high efficiency and patented processing technologies, without requiring a cooling water supply for operation. While at the exhibition, JK Lasers also plans to launch a new addition to the JK Fiber Laser range.

The JK500FL will enable manufacturers to process a range of materials with high accuracy, at a quicker rate. The 500W Fiber Laser will require minimal maintenance and will be supplied in a rack-mounted format, providing enhanced efficiency in the workplace.

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.
