Excelitas Technologies Announces Expansion of Miamisburg, Ohio Facility to Meet Increased Demand for Energetic Safety Systems

Excelitas Technologies, a global provider of innovative, customized optoelectronics and advanced electronic systems to OEMs seeking high-performance technology solutions, today announced that on June 5, 2012 the Montgomery County, Ohio Board of Commissioners approved a $300,000 grant from the Economic Development/Government Equity (ED/GE) Program to be used towards the expansion of Excelitas’ ISO 9001-certified Miamisburg, Ohio facility.

Excelitas is a leader in the design, manufacture and test of Energetic Safety Systems for a variety of high- performance applications including precision munitions, tactical missiles, launch vehicles, and strategic missiles. Excelitas’ energetic safety products are designed using the latest advances in technology to develop smaller, lighter, smarter, and more cost-effective devices. The Company has partnered with the leading defense and aerospace OEMs for over 60 years in designing, qualifying and manufacturing advanced technology components and subsystems for a range of smart systems that safeguard lives.

“Excelitas is pleased to announce the expansion of manufacturing capacity, as well as its product development facilities, to meet the increased demand in the marketplace for our energetic safety systems,” stated Doug Benner, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Advanced Electronic Systems, Excelitas Technologies.

“We are grateful for the strong support that the Mound Development Corp, the City of Miamisburg, Montgomery County, and the State of Ohio have provided to Excelitas, enabling us to continue to grow our business and meet our customers’ growing needs. We look forward to continuing our partnership with these organizations,” Mr. Benner added.

The Miamisburg facility capacity expansion project is expected to create additional jobs for the local community and will be completed by the end of 2012.

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.
