XY Monitor maXYmos BL now with Enhanced Functions and PC Software for Analyzing and Documenting Process Data

As an XY monitor for process monitoring and product testing, the maXYmos BL Type 5867A from Kistler has extremely quickly established a wide base of actual and potential customers in industrial joining and assembly, and in product testing. From the time (10 to 13 October 2011) of the MOTEK International Trade Fair for Handling, Assembly and Automation Technology being held in Stuttgart, even the standard version of the very versatile and compact monitor, which already offers unbeatable value for money, will be enhanced with additional practical features.

Automatic Trend Tracking for the ENVELOPE CURVE Evaluation Object
The maXYmos BL records the interrelation of all of the measurands that can be measured with piezoelectric or strain gage sensors on the Y-channel, and with potentiometric sensors on the X-channel. It can monitor and evaluate the quality of a product or production step on the basis of the curve and different evaluation objects.

The update will make the ENVELOPE CURVE available as an evaluation object. During setup the band of this curve automatically wraps around the outside contour of a previously measured bundle of curves evaluated as GOOD. Automatic trend tracking, which can be activated for the band of the envelope curve, tracks the setpoint limits, for example with progressive tool wear, and adjusts the evaluation function to suit the actual process situation. One or two separate envelope curves in addition to the other evaluation objects UNI-BOX, LINE or NO-PASS are available for each measurement curve.

Comprehensive Analyses with PC Software maXYmos PC
The program maXYmos PC for the PC allows direct transfer of the test record from the maXYmos BL to the PC, saving as a CSV file and visualization of measurement curves and process values. Searching and filtering can be performed in the saved test records under date, station, part number, evaluation result and other criteria. Measurement curve analysis allows measurement of specific significant points on the curve using the cursor. Analysis of saved bundles of curves allows subjective evaluation of process capability. Thus a sharply contoured bundle indicates a stable process, whereas a scattered bundle is a sign of instabilities.

Process values are available in the Excel format (XLS) for trend analyses This enables process values from saved record files to be automatically filtered out, written into the Excel file column by column, displayed graphically or subjected to specific analysis. The function for setting up the maXYmos BL online or offline is displayed in Windows-compatible masks. This also allows backup files to be opened, interpreted, edited, printed or exported as PDF file.

A backup restore function supports saving and restoring of complete equipment setups. The integral updater keeps the firmware up to date. Updates can be performed at any time using the Kistler server.

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.
