Optimising pipe fit-up and logistics improves welding productivity.

Pictures (Left - right): Morgan Technical Ceramics, a leading manufacturer of ceramic components and coatings, has launched a new Diamonex® diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which extends component life in the aerospace industry and has been approved by Boeing for limited use at overhaul on certain landing gear parts on its 737 NG aircraft. See page 223

The one-year, £300k project is a collaborative R&D project sponsored by the UK Technology Strategy Board. Zettlex will work closely with European Aerospace & Defence Systems' Space Equipment Division in the UK with the aim of developing and qualifying lightweight but rugged position sensors for space applications. See page 223

For oil and gas companies, pipeline welding is a high precision task that cannot afford any delays. If pipes fit together poorly due to geometrical defects, this can lead to repairs and rework, which impacts tight production schedules. Dr Richard Gooch, Optical Metrology Services, discusses how software and laser-based measurement tools can help to optimise pipe fit-up, reduce welding time and minimise production delays.

A variety of energy feed systems can be fitted to the JDN products where a permanent power supply is required for moveable trolley-mounted hoists or monorail hoists running on overhead support beams.
The connectors are available with black or transparent housings, depending on the circuitry, and with two or three poles plus PE.
The eco-PEN 450 deals easily with dots and beads as small as 0.004 ml at up to 6 ml per minute, featuring viscosity autonomous application at pressures from 16 to 20 bar via Luer lock nozzles or needles.

Intertronics' preeflow® eco-PEN 450 from ViscoTec not only offers a greater capacity for high accuracy and highly repeatable volumetric dispensing - it also addresses the needs of a wide range of low to medium viscosity applications. See page 38

The Hirschmann™ field-attachable GDM series valve connectors can be used to supply power to components such as solenoid valves, pressure sensors and temperature sensors. See page 322

The Meggitt Systems miniature piezoelectric accelerometer is designed for high-temperature vibration measurements of up to +260°C (+500°C).
See page 223

The lifting, handling and craneage equipment manufactured by J D Neuhaus is powered by compressed air, with the option of hydraulically powered products also being available.

Picture: Anybus Communicator series of intelligent protocol converters, system integrators. The I/O modules for CC-lLink, DeviceNet, and EtherNet are shown above. Others are available for Profibus and ProfiNet. Microscan's barcode and machine vision technology is used to monitor, track, and trace critical data.

The Anybus Communicator series of intelligent protocol converters, enables system integrators to integrate existing automation equipment via standard serial RS-232 or Modbus-RTU interfaces into modern industrial networks. See page 29

Balluff is the first to offer fieldbus I/O modules with an illuminated LCD display.This not only makes addressing in the network simpler, but also provides a variety of additional functions. See page 4

Microscan AutoVISION™ suite, consisting of its AutoVISION machine vision software, and the Vision MINI and Vision HAWK smart cameras.

A new range of non-contact, infrared temperature sensors is now available that accurately measures the temperature of flame-heated workpieces inside industrial furnaces and ovens, as well as CO2 (carbon dioxide) and CO (carbon monoxide) flame gases in di Picture: A car fuel-injection nozzle showing signs of rust: a) overexposed image, b) underexposed image, c) HDR image generated using OLMYPUS Stream 1.7
Xenoy iQ ENH resin provides the new scanner with robust non-brominated, non-chlorinated flame retardance (FR).

A range of non-contact, infrared temperature sensors is now available that accurately measures the temperature of flame-heated workpieces inside industrial furnaces and ovens, as well as CO2 and CO flame gases. See page 6

Canon Electronics uses SABIC high-performance Xenoy iQ* ENH resin with up-cycled post-consumer recycled content for its new "imageFORMULA DR-M160".
