Visionscope Technology
Karl Storz rigid borescopes are particularly
robust and designed for heavy-duty industrial
use. With the HOPKINS® rod lens system, they
reliably deliver exceptionally clear, sharp and
bright images.
Borescopes essentially consist of an optical
system, mechanics, and a light guide system.
The double-wall sheath and the special glass
endpiece at the tip render the borescope
extremely resistant to damage and wear and
ensure optimal protection of the telescope.
Special Features:
•
•
•
•
Pressure resistant up to +5 bar
Metal layers to protect the optical
system
Resistant to oil, fuel & solvents
Temperature resistant up to 150’C

New JSP Springfit™Mask offers
an unrivalled fit, comfort,
compatibility and performance.
JSP has launched the new Springfit™ fold flat
disposable mask with a unique endoskeleton
structure which guarantees each mask
keeps its shape, increasing performance and
maintaining rigidity. This integrated spring
feature allows facial movement ensuring the
mask offers a secure face fit and seal during
speech or movement of the jaw.
The pioneering Typhoon™ valve has been
designed to reduce breathing resistance, heat
and moisture build-up. The valve is unaffected
by any moisture, and therefore maintains
high performance levels even at very low
temperatures (-40°C tested).
The new Springfit™ is extremely comfortable
with adjustable straps so the mask can be
fitted comfortably to all head sizes and
shapes.

UNISET-C - low-end fixture for
optical setting of tools
One thing was in particular focus during the
development of the new UNISET-C setting
fixture from MAPAL: Simple handling for
optical setting and measurement in the entry-
level segment. The UNISET-C has a compact
design, the tool to be measured is easily
accessible. The measuring arm with optical
measuring camera and dimmable back-light
source can be easily adjusted in the horizontal
and vertical to the desired position using a
handle. A sensor controller integrated into the
handle activates the laser in the measuring
arm when touched. The laser simplifies quick
movement to the desired tool position, as the
current camera position is always visible as a
red light dot. Fixed tools, in particular, such as
solid carbide or PCD tools, can be quickly and
easily measured and set using the UNISET-C.
The maximum tool diameter is 400 mm, the
maximum tool length also 400 mm.

Electromechanical Assembly
Services From NSF Controls The Easy Way to Machine Rails
and Cable Ducts Reliability Programme
Maximizes Gearbox Life
Taking the pressure off a fluctuating order
flow, manufacturing capacity or engineering
resource challenges, NSF Controls provides
a range of assembly services and solutions,
producing over a million electromechanical
assemblies annually from its UK site,
exporting to over 30 countries and five
continents. Manufacturing switchgear can be very
labour intensive. Despite the advances in
automation, there is still a huge amount
of manual work involved in cutting and
machining busbars, support rails and cable
ducts. Rittal Automation Systems is now
offering new and improved machines and
tools that will help automate or part-
automate these previously time-consuming
activities. The Secarex AC 15 cutting centre
is just one example of an innovation by the
compa-ny, making otherwise laborious tasks,
easier, quicker and more efficient. The number one failure cause in any
mechanical application is contamination.
Industrial plants have a big investment
in their equipment and the lubricants
protecting that equipment, so it makes sense
to protect these assets. A good lubrication
reliability programme is one that prevents
contamination, oil foaming, overheating
and emulsification – all caused by use of the
wrong oil leading to lubricant failure and
mechanical wear. Follow these six steps
to significantly reduce your maintenance,
repair and lubricant costs, and free up your
maintenance team to engage in more
proactive reliability activities:
An experienced team with wide-reaching
engineering expertise, NSF Controls adapts
to deliver customer-specific market-ready
products. Working collaboratively, production
is designed to suit the customers’ own
manufacturing and product development
timescales. The company also supports
with design, product development and
manufacture.

PECM Issue 32
Cutting support rails and cable ducts to the
right length is a task that many engineers still
perform by hand. The rail is first is measured
on the mounting plate and then cut to the
appropriate length. It may also be labelled
with a felt-tip to denote a particular enclosure
and its position.
