Free Web Guide on Piece-Counting Precision

Mettler Toledo has launched a new web-based resource to help manufacturers optimise piece counting, which it claims is a critical concern for quality mangers in all consumer industries. Claimed to be comprehensive, easy-to-navigate and available in twelve languages, the guide explores proven scale-based methods to enhance piece-counting precision. Some of the sites features include implementation case studies; calculators that demonstrate savings achieved through accurate piece counts; and an order form for a free CD-ROM-based piece-counting guide.

According to Mettler Toledo, precise piece counting is vital because repeat errors can cause dissatisfied manufacturing partners or vendors, who eventually take business elsewhere. In addition, systematic overfilling can reduce profit margins. Mettler Toledo's piece-counting resource is designed to help manufacturers understand how multifunctional piece counting by weight can be , as well as discover how much money can be saved when piece counts are accurate. It covers the products and services that Mettler Toledo offers to help enhance piece counting and quality control efforts.

Categories on the site are divided into subcategories. For example, a section such as 'Applications' splits into functional areas, where piece counting can provide critical support in shipping, receiving, warehousing, production and packaging. Further page divisions, on challenges in each area, are navigable from each subcategory page. Troubleshooting for piece counting includes how to avoid human error and reasons for scale inaccuracies.

Solutions include tips on choosing a scale that is easily integrated into existing line operations; enhances data management; and results in years of flawless operation with minimal maintenance. Among the site's features are the ability to order the free piece-counting guide, the main ROI calculator and a Colorweight calculator, which demonstrates how features such as a three-colour terminal display can enhance processes and profits. A quick selection guide also assists with finding appropriate products and specialties, including printer, label-design and second-scale options.

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.
