• New laser machining centre  

  Electrical engineering firm, LCA Controls, reports it has switched its control panel operations from manual production to laser-machining and the move is expected to transform its productivity and efficiency. LCA Controls says it has invested in a RITTAL Perforex LC 3015 3D laser machining centre – a system which will revolutionise construction of its stainless-steel panels by automating processes previously done by hand.

• Cooling output inside enclosures 

  The enclosures that protect manufacturing automation systems should have strictly controlled internal environments with interior temperatures that are carefully maintained within a few degrees. If not, the impact can be harmful to the inverter drives, power supplies, contactors, PLCs and other electrical and electronic components operating within them. This requires careful control of the climate within the enclosure.

• Test drive before you buy 

  Rittal says it is offering UK customers the chance to ‘test drive’ its Perforex machining and automation systems before they buy.

• Cost-effective vibration measurement 

  Today’s sophisticated vibration condition monitoring systems are designed to provide comprehensive and efficient feedback combined with optimum flexibility. However, the cost of these systems can be difficult to justify for monitoring smaller rotating plant and equipment such as pumps, motors, fans, centrifuges, turbines, or any item of small to medium machinery. SENSONICS says it offers the ideal solution with its DN26 G3 machine protection monitor a highly effective stand-alone monitor which complements its successful range of rack-mounted products.
