New Test and Laboratory Controller for LED Lighting

LATAB, the Swedish manufacturer of LED lighting and controllers for machine vision applications is proud to introduce a new multifunction controller which will be presented at "Vision", the international trade fair for image processing from 8-10 November in Stuttgart.

The controller has been specially developed for test and laboratory applications. It enables users the ability to optimize the LED lighting for an application very quickly. Simply use one of the two continuously variable adjustment buttons/knobs on the controller to find the optimum lighting conditions for your application and you are up and running. The system can be used in “continuous lighting” mode or “strobe” mode. In continuous mode the controller can drive LED’s at current ratings of up to 3 amperes. The brightness can be continuously adjusted using the control dial.

Using a variation of the continuous mode called “switched” mode the LED’s can be driven at increased brightness for a maximum of 5 seconds. The illumination in this mode can be twice as bright as in standard continuous mode without overloading the LEDs.

In strobe mode, the LEDs can be driven at up to 24 amperes current. The flash brightness can reach up to five times the value of that in continuous mode and can be continuously adjusted as can the frequency up to a maximum of 200 Hertz. The flash duration range is from one microsecond up to five milliseconds. It can be triggered either by an internal frequency generator, an external synchronization source or manually on the controller.

This controller can also operate LED lights made by other manufacturers.

LATAB offers a comprehensive range of standard LED controllers and lights, LATAB is also able to offer standard products modified to customer requirements and completely new customized solutions. This ability highlights LATAB’s expertise in the field of providing individual solutions to image processing applications.

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.
