New enhanced 4-channel LIN Transceiver
MLX80001 reduces system costs for Multi LIN master systems |
| |
LIN
nodes continue their exponential growth rates in cars resulting in
master modules controlling multiple LIN busses. To address this growing
need for multi LIN transceiver systems Melexis introduces a 4-channel
LIN transceiver IC. The MLX80001 can significantly reduce system costs
of the LIN physical layer by 20% compared to multiple single transceiver
ICs found in, for example, a Body Control Module. The MLX80001 extends
Melexis’ existing product line of LIN transceivers and System Basis
Chips. The LIN bus (Local Interconnect Network) continues its successful
adoption in automotive and industrial applications with the release of
LIN version 2.0 and the release of SAE J2602 Networking specification.
This robust, cost effective communication scheme enables many basic
networking functions in sub-systems previously considered to be
uneconomical for smart actuators and controls. As a consequence of this
successful implementation of many different LIN applications there is a
need for Body Control Modules to manage different LIN Bus sub-systems at
the same time. ... |

PT Ltd Accupoint Weigh Module® |
| |
 The Accupoint Weigh Module® epitomizes quality in weighing measurement
devices. It is a perfect solution for vessel weighing in food processing
plants, dairies, chemical, bottling plants etc, where the Accupoint®
Weigh Modules can be used on tanks, silos and many other weighing
vessels.
The Accupoint Weigh Module® incorporates an unparalleled level of
protection for load cells and maintains performance specifications,
improves safety whilst reducing load cell damage and plant down-time.
Each is a self contained weigh point with both uplift and side restraint
built-in, the installation of which only requires bolting the Accupoint
Weigh Module® into place. Completely manufactured in stainless steel
with special long life hardened contact points the units will give years
of high precision weighing with reduced maintenance. Accupoint Weigh
Modules® are available in nine capacities from 100kg to 50,000kg, giving
typical weighing options of up to 200tonnes in a standard four support
vessel. The Accupoint Weigh Module® incorporates a high precision
stainless steel IP68 protected mini disk load cell. ... |

Humidity / Temperature Hand-Held HUMIPORT 05 From E+E Elektronik |
| |
A
Reliable Companion: The HUMIPORT 05 from E+E Elektronik
provides the mobile precise measurement of relative humidity and
temperature in the ranges of 5…95% RH and -20…50°C (-4…122°F).
Furthermore dew point, absolute humidity and mixing ratio can be shown
on the very well readable display. In spite of the compact dimensions of
a mobile phone the HUMIPORT 05 offers easy handling with the proven
thumb-wheel switch.
That makes sure that the whole operation of the hand-held can be
performed with only one hand. The measured values can be displayed as
SI- or as US-units. Moreover the HUMIPORT 05 provides helpful features
like MIN / MAX and AVG indication as well as a HOLD-function. The
possibility of a 1-point humidity and temperature calibration ensures
precise measurements in the long run. Typical applications for the
HUMIPORT 05 are for example the mobile climate monitoring of buildings,
switching cabinets, museums and storehouses. ... |

Zero Defect Press-Fit Assembly Enabled by
Force Monitoring |
| |
Press fitting of bearings, bushings or shafts, for example in housings
or gearboxes, can be monitored very accurately through the variation in
the pressing force over the displacement. The characteristic nature of
this force curve allows evaluation of the quality of process and tool.
ControlMonitors from Kistler analyze the curve and decide whether or not
the assembly is acceptable.
CoMo brand control monitors record the interdependent measurement
variables of pressing force and displacement in pairs during the
press-fit process. They display their functional relationship as shown
in the diagram below and evaluate it at the end of the cycle. Process
evaluation: To reveal deviations from a reference part, a reference
curve determined from an optimal press-fit process can be stored in the
CoMo and shown in blue. The press-fit process is evaluated on the basis
of thresholds, tolerance boxes and stop position windows. These objects
can be almost freely defined in terms of position, size and type of
evaluation (entry, exit and transit, minimum and maximum force, etc). To
obtain a part that is acceptable the measured curve must pass through
the chosen evaluation objects as defined. Entry and exit sides are
highlighted in green and the direction in which the curve passes through
them shown by an arrow. Red limits must not be breached. A maximum of 12
evaluation objects may be freely combined. ... |

WIKA diaphragm seals certified to EHEDG |
| |
WIKA
diaphragm and in-line seals are now certified to EHEDG (European
Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). Moreover, the diaphragm seals
conform to the 3A guidelines. Thus solutions are available, which
guarantee compliance with stringent hygienic guidelines, both in Europe
and the USA, for the food and pharmaceutical industries and also
manufacturers with similarly high demands. The diaphragm seals,
certified by the TU Munich/Weihenstephan, ensure safe application with
sterile connections such as Varivent, Neumo BioConnect, Neumo Connect S
or connections to DIN 11864. WIKA uses stainless steel 1.4435 as a
standard for all surfaces in contact with critical process media. For
the EHEDG certification, all wetted surfaces meet the following
specification: Average surface roughness, Ra ≤ 0.5 μm (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm close
to welds). The benefit to the operator: Plants can be cleaned
particularly effectively using CIP/SIP processes. In addition,
components from this material exhibit good welding and
corrosion-resistance characteristics – and, if needed, they can be
electro-polished. ... |
