Photonic Solutions Strengthen Relationship with Light Conversion

From 1st September 2011, Photonic Solutions announce they will be handling the Light Conversion Ltd (Lithuania) PHAROS and ORPHEUS ultrafast laser systems in the UK and Ireland. These femtosecond lasers are designed for industrial and scientific applications and are recognised as technology leaders .

PHAROS is a rugged, self contained, single-unit Yb:KGW ultrafast laser designed to be turn-key out of its box with powers up to 15W average and rep rates up to 1MHz. PHAROS is quite unique in that it is completely pulse-width tuneable from 200fs to 10ps making it an ideal source for a wide range of industrial applications especially in micromachining research/parameter investigation. Harmonic generators are available to create second, third and fourth harmonics of the fundamental 1030nm wavelength. Other lasers in the range will also be added, such as the new air cooled CARBIDE laser.

With the add-on option of the ORPHEUS wavelength tuneable OPA, the PHAROS system becomes an attractive and compact, 200nm to 20000nm tunable spectroscopic tool for multiphoton confocal microscopy, non linear optics and microstructuring applications.

This strengthens an already existing long term relationship between Photonic Solutions and Light Conversion based on sales of LC’s original ultrafast product - the TOPAS, tunable fs/ps OPA. More than 900 TOPAS have been installed worldwide over the past decade.

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.
