MEASUREMENT & MONITORING Cynergy3 Cynergy3 are now launching a brand new range of wireless pressure transmitters and receivers. Based on the popular IPS (Industrial grade) and IPSL (low range) series of pressure sensors, the key benefit of wireless is to avoid long, tortuous or expensive cable runs over larger areas. The transmitters can have a range of up to 750m, and can communicate with either a single-channel or, for multi- measurement systems, five-channel receivers. With plug and play functionality, setting up the equipment is quick and easy to do, and free configuration software is available for more complex systems. Detailed information can be found here: www.cynergy3.com/ products?search=Wireless along with free- to-download 3D models and all the technical specifications. THE FUTURE OF THE NEXT GENERATION: eDAQXR from HBM offers rugged mobile solution Now available from HBM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – is the Somat eDAQXR, which is the next generation data acquisition system which has been developed for use in harsh environments.  Suitable for conducting tests in any number of applications, including agriculture, construction, mining, automotive, recreational vehicles and military, to name but a few, the Somat eDAQXR is the ideal choice for both new customers looking for a rugged data acquisition system, and existing customers looking to preserve current systems. With a significantly smaller footprint than its eDAQ predecessor, this powerful processor offers a wider operating temperature range of -40 to 80°C and a lower operating power requirement of 8-36V. Huntingdon Fusion It is common for welders to spend hours waiting for their weld purge PPM level to be low enough to begin welding. It also can be very expensive; flooding stainless steel process tubing with inert gas to eliminate oxygen. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT design and manufacture PurgElite , a range of low cost inflatable Tube and Pipe Purging Systems to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero colour welds in minutes. The systems are all pre-set, no fiddly valves, just purge and go! To ensure the welding zone is purged of oxygen to a level where welding can commence, HFT also manufacture the low cost, battery operated PurgEye 100, designed and developed for welding stainless steel, reading from atmosphere down to 100 ppm. www.huntingdonfusion.com 01525 304980 email – [email protected] web – www.hbm.com. PhoenixTM Ltd - Phoenix Temperature Measurement NPL’s Product Verification Services PhoenixTM Ltd design and manufactures ‘thru-process’ temperature monitoring systems for the heat treatment industry. Providing solutions for various industrial sectors including heat treatment of aluminium and steel, ranging from raw materials (Slab, billets etc) to finished products, such as carburizing automotive components. Other applications include Paint and Powder Coating, Food Processing (HACCP), Glass Processing and Ceramic Firing. Protected by a thermal barrier, the data logger travels through the process and thermocouples measure the product temperature. A historic temperature record (Profile graph or TUS) is collected which then can be analysed using Industry specific software to generate AMS2750E and CQI-9 compliant reports. Understand, Control, Optimize and Certify your furnace process to guarantee product quality, process operation efficiency and regulatory compliance. NPL’s Product Verification Services help companies to manufacture products to original design specifications through better measurement and inspection practices. +44(1353)223100 | [email protected] www.phoenixtm.com 112 PECM Issue 36 One company benefiting from NPL’s services is Chesterfield based Precision Products UK, who Manufacture piston rings for the commercial marine industry, and report a major improvement in productivity after working on an industrial Project with the NPL. NPL were initially able to assess and then improve the capability of measurement using a DMAIC approach to establish the cause and effect relationships within the plating process. Mark Jenkins, Operations director: “NPL helped us apply discipline to assessing and improving our processes, allied with proven measurement and control. This helped us significantly reduce our cycle time for the electroplating process, potentially by half”. http://www.npl.co.uk/ Elesa non-contact magnetic measuring system speeds machinery processes – adds precision Elesa’s MPI-15 magnetic measuring system allows precise alignment and positioning of workpieces so reducing time of machinery processes to a minimum, saving costs and speeding the whole production cycle. The MPI-15 combined with magnetic band is easy to install and features an easy to read digital display enabling operators to accurately read out linear or angular displacements. The MPI-15 measuring system, made of a LCD multifunction display with built-in magnetic position sensor, when combined with the magnetic band M-BAND-10 is a complete system for the measurement of linear and angular displacement (with a minimum radius of 65mm).
