Inspector I40-IR: Powerful Part Inspection Using Infrared Light

Light is a crucial component in vision. With the correct lighting, details of interest on the part are emphasized – providing a high-quality image for analysis. The Inspector family provides full flexibility with integrated light, “Flex” window options or external solutions to match illumination needs.

The new Inspector infrared variants are designed to meet a new set of vision inspection challenges. They offer features that greatly benefit different applications, such as reducing color dependency and providing safe inspection in unwanted visible light production. The invisible infrared light allows in a simple yet highly efficient way a maximum degree of independence from color. This constitutes a particular benefit for, among others, the detection of black contours on multicolored objects. Using infrared light in combination with the optional visible block filter, is the easiest and most cost-effective method to gain immunity to changes in environmental lighting. In addition, IR has the quality to be invisible for the human eye. This is beneficial in open production areas where operators are working next to the sensor.

The infrared variants also inherit all of the qualities from the Inspector I20 and I40, such as a well-designed tool set for part inspection and easy-to-use connectivity possibilities.

The new Inspector PI50, makes inspection and integration solutions possible that are generally associated only with smart cameras. Viewing of the images and change of configuration takes place by means of a standard web browser. Integration into the automation and fieldbus environment of machines is effected via Ethernet TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP and the web API allows users to customize the HMI. This is very convenient for many machine builders and system integrators. In addition, the new calibration ensures reliable images even in tight and tilted setups where the image would otherwise be distorted.The Inspector PI50, with a speed of up to 50 Hz, is used, among other things, for inspecting and positioning of components in the automotive and consumer goods industry or in electronics and solar manufacturing.

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.
