Kistler Premiere at MEDTEC Europe: 100 % Quality with Process Monitoring for Injection Molding, Assembly and Product Inspection

Kistler Group is supplying in-process quality assurance solutions for the medical technology, diagnostics and pharmaceutical industry. At the specialist trade show "MEDTEC Europe", which takes place from 22 through 24 March, 2011 in Stuttgart/Germany, visitors to the Kistler booth No. 8248 in hall 8 will find out how the specialist’s sensors and systems integrate seamlessly into processes for the production of medical equipment and medical technology components. Fully automated, in-process quality assurance guarantees 100 % quality and separation of defective parts at a very early stage. Kistler provided solutions for different production and inspection tasks for the entire process chain including injection molding, assembly and product inspection.

Kistler sensors and systems monitor the cavity pressure and separate all defective parts during the injection molding process, which eliminates the need for post-production quality inspection. The "QUALITY MOLDING powered by Kistler" seal applies to pressure and pressure-temperature sensors, CoMo Injection process monitoring systems, CoMo DataCenter for process and quality data analysis and the Stasa QC quality prediction which uses the tolerance limits stated in the component specification as quality criteria for in-process quality monitoring.

Force sensors are used during assembly processes to monitor joining forces. Deviations from the measured joining forces are used by process monitoring systems for the detection of errors and defects of workpieces and tools. The "QUALITY JOINING powered by Kistler" seal illustrates the benefit of force sensors when they are integrated into assembly units, and the benefit of process monitoring systems when they are used for quality assurance. Electromechanical NC joining systems made by Kistler integrate actuation and force sensor technology into compact systems for force-monitored assembly processes.

Used during fully automated product inspection, force or torque sensors detect the relevant component properties and check them for compliance with defined tolerances. Reaction torque sensors for monitoring actuation forces and the maXYmo BL XY monitor for the analysis of measuring data are perfect examples of the Kistler range of products for the inspection of medical and pharmaceutical components.

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.
