Richard ArmstrongManaging Director

OEM has recently signed an agreement with West ControlSolutions to become their key national distribution partner. The company manufacture a wide range of temperature andprocess controller products under the market leading brandnames of CAL, West and PMA.

The West brand is renowned throughout Europe for competitive, state-of-the-art, single loopand multi-loop temperature controllers. They were at the forefront in developingmicroprocessor based controllers and self-tune algorithms.

The Cal brand was established many years ago and has set standards in digital temperaturecontrol. They were the first to produce a digital controller in the 1/16th DIN (48x48mm)package to be followed by the first 1/32nd DIN (24x48mm) controller.

The PMA range offers high specification, digital, multifunction controllers used in all kinds oftemperature, pressure, flow and level systems. They can even offer complete systems basedaround an HMI controller with integrated PLC, data logger and full bus communications.

Do your light-curtainscomply with the latest safetystandards?In 2010 many important changes will beintroduced concerning the regulations on safety of machinery and the relevant international standards.

These changes particularly concern the family of standards under theumbrella of ISO 13849, IEC 61508 and IEC 62061 which have beenpublished in recent years along with the new machinery directive2006/42/EC which will come into force on 29th December 2009.

The new standards concentrate on the concept of ‘functional safety’ ofsafety related control systems for machinery and protection devices.These include PLs (Performance Levels) and SILs (Safety IntegrityLevels). PL and SIL run alongside and in many ways replacethe now familiar concept of category of ‘Safety Categories’featured in the ‘old’ EN954-1.

Reer has it covered!

All Reer light-curtains conform to the latestinternational standards. Therefore, regardless ofyour machine safety application, you can rest assured that we have theright light-curtain for the job.

Features available:

• Muting

• Blanking

• IP67 watertight enclosures

• IP67 watertight enclosures with heaters(operation to -20°C)

• Slim-line versions

• Long range versions with up to 60m range

• Single beam safety sensors

• Laser scanners

Sendix F36: The compact revolutionKubler presents a revolutionary range of optical, absolute encoders

The new F36 absolute encoder from Kubler isdesigned with a new compact housing of 36mmmaking the encoder easy to mount in allapplications where space is restricted andmounting is difficult.

For the F36, Kubler has developed a new optical sensor (Opto ASIC) withIntelligent-Scan-Technology. This new development makes the encodercompletely immune to magnetic interference. It also means that the multi-turn version has no gears; greatly increasing durability, reliability andresistance to shock and vibration.

The compact size doesn’t mean a compromise in the specification of otherimportant features such as:

The robust nature and miniature size of the Sendix F36 makes this encodera great option for all applications from medical equipment to pick andplace machines.

The complete range of large diameter 120mmbeacons from Auer now have an improved IPrating thanks to a new cellular rubber gasket.

The gasket material significantly improves the sealing between the lens andmounting base. This ensures IP65 is guaranteed in all mountingorientations making them ideal for indoor or outdoor applications.

The beacons offer a cost effective solution and can be supplied in anumber of different options including steady, flashing or strobe with filamentlamp or LED versions. The LED option offers high visibility, good resistanceto shock / vibration, low power consumption and above all long lifetime.

• Improved IP65 rating

• Large diameter 120mm

• Steady, flashing or strobe

• Filament lamp or LED
