Volpi IntraLED 3: High-Power LED Light Source

Volpi introduces the economical and compact lighting system IntraLED 3 which stands out due to its long service life and its excellent light intensity. The success of an image processing application depends to a large extent on the quality of the lighting system selected. The most important factors for success are having both a luminous flux that is as high as possible and very good homogeneity values. To comprehensively meet these requirements Volpi is introducing the IntraLED 3 LED light source. This economical and compact lighting system has a service life of 50,000 hours and a light intensity of over 500 lumens.

The IntraLED 3 LED light source is the next generation model of the successful IntraLED 2020+. When developing the new high-power light source, the Volpi engineers were strictly focused on the requirements of machine vision. With a light intensity of over 500 lumens, a performance increase of more than 30% was achieved over the previous model. According to the manufacturer, the typical color temperature is 6000 degrees Kelvin. Activation is done either manually via the integrated RS-232 interface (optional USB) or via the multiport with digital and analog input. The Volpi IntraLED 3 is available in two variants and is thus compatible with light guides from Volpi and Schott-Fostec.


Given these specifications, most applications with 100 watt or 150 watt halogen light sources can now be implemented with an Volpi IntraLED 3. Replacement of conventional halogen light sources offers the user numerous advantages: the long service life of 50,000 hours, the maintenance-free design and the substantially lower power consumption (24 V DC / max. 55 W) noticeably reduce total operating costs. The compact enclosure allows use on a small surface and the threaded rails (M4) present on 4 sides facilitate smooth system integration. Due to its low heat emission, in critical applications the ambient temperature no longer has to be cooled, or cooled as much as previously. This gives indirect power savings and a further reduction of the company' s CO2 footprint.

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.
