80/20 Yellow Powder Coat

80/20 now stocks 1010 profiles in powder-coated safety yellow. The powder coat creates a precise, consistent color match. This is a great product to denote caution and warning and is used frequently in maintenance, facilities, and guarding applications. 

All fasteners, panels and accessories that are 10-series compatible work with these safety-yellow profiles. 

Please keep in mind that when requesting cuts or machining services, the machined area will be exposed, meaning not yellow. 80/20 can provide a machined bar that is still entirely safety-yellow; please allow for increased lead time.

TURCK Ultrasonic Sensors

TURCK is pleased to announce their new family of teachable ultrasonic sensors. The new ultrasonic sensor series from TURCK enables the user to cover large sensing ranges with fewer sensor variants and short blind zones. The sensors are available in 18mm and 30mm barrel housings with sensing ranges from 40cm to 300cm. Designed for rugged industrial applications, these sensors are IP67 rated and an ideal solution for object detection and liquid level applications.

In order to offer the right sensor for every application, TURCK has increased the versatility of the individual models. The simple compact version of the RU40 and RU100 modules enables the user to set the sensing range as well as NC and NO switching outputs with a teach adapter. The standard sensor versions also enable the setting of switch windows and two separate switching points, either by a teach adapter or via a teach button directly on the sensor.The high-end versions can be operated as a switch or as an analog sensor. Different operating modes, temperature compensation or the output function can also be set via IO-Link. If several sensors are installed next to each other, the customer can set the sensor parameters in synchronization or multiplex mode, in order to prevent mutual interference of the sensors. An optional USB master is also available which enables interface and parameterization of high-end sensors via IO-Link.

TURCK has developed a series of training videos to detail the features and benefits of each variant, and how to program the different output types. The videos can be found on TURCK’s YouTube Channel, TurckTV, or by clicking on one of these links:

Red Lion Multi-Carrier 4G LTE RTUs

Sixnet® series RAM® and IndustrialPro® cellular automation products by Red Lion now offer 4G LTE multi-carrier cellular support for major North American carriers. Multi-carrier capabilities enable customers to simplify deployment and reduce inventory requirements by selecting from a list of preconfigured wireless carriers that include AT&T, BELL Mobility, Rogers, TELUS and Verizon Wireless.

With 4G LTE support for multiple carriers in each unit, customers using Red Lion’s RAM cellular RTUs and IndustrialPro routers can easily select and switch between wireless carriers to alleviate varying cellular coverage or bandwidth issues without having to replace equipment. In addition, a powerful built-in event engine can trigger I/O or send SMS text messages based on real-time data to provide automation engineers, technicians, production managers and network operators local control and real-time remote monitoring of field-deployed assets.

“Industrial customers with remote sites choose  cellular communications due to the ease of use and scalability of deployment without having to worry about cost or maintenance of other wireless technologies,” said Paul Bunnell, product manager at Red Lion Controls. “By providing multi-carrier support on our cellular RTUs and routers in North America, customers now have even more flexibility with their deployments to select and change carriers without having to replace hardware. This can save a great deal of time and money, especially for customers monitoring hundreds or thousands of devices.”

Red Lion’s cellular automation devices combine optional I/O and Wi-Fi with active GPS and multiple serial and Ethernet ports to securely monitor remote devices over a 4G LTE cellular network with fallback to 3G. Ideal for deployment in industrial M2M networks such as oil and gas, water/wastewater, utility, transportation and mining applications, RAM and IndustrialPro cellular RTUs and routers provide a seamless network extension to remote locations.

With hardened metal enclosures, a wide operating temperature range and industry certifications to ensure safe operation in hazardous locations, our cellular automation products securely monitor remote devices to enable reliable operation in critical environments.

TURCK QR24 Rotary Inductive Sensor

TURCK has added a variant with a CANopen interface to its QR24 rotary inductive sensor series. The new wear-free QR24-CAN variant is ideally equipped for use in mobile machines and industrial applications. 

Fast response times as well as a cyclical and event-driven communication are only two of the many benefits of the CANopen protocol, which is frequently used in the Mobile Equipment industry. 

These applications include:

• crane and lifting technology 
• transport systems 
• construction machinery
• special machine building. 

All QR24 sensors use resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology to process and communicate position. Each sensor is manufactured with printed emitter and receiver coil systems fully potted within the housing. When the emitter coils are activated with a high-frequency AC field, they produce an inductive RLC circuit with the positioning element. The position of that element is processed based on the induced signal to the receiver coils in the sensors. Thanks to its intelligent mounting concept using adapter rings, the permanently sealed IP69K sensors can be fitted on all standard shafts with diameters up to 20 millimeters. TURCK also offers the QR24 with an SSI interface, incremental output and analog voltage/current output.

Honeywell ABP Series Pressure Sensors

The Basic Amplified ABP Series by Honeywell is a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor offering a ratiometric analog or digital output for reading pressure over the specified full scale pressure span and temperature range.

The ABP Series is fully calibrated and temperature compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects and accuracy errors (which include non-linearity, repeatability and hysteresis) using an on-board Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Calibrated output values for pressure are updated at approximately 1 kHz for analog and 2 kHz for digital. The ABP Series is calibrated over the temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C [32 °F to 122 °F]. The sensor is characterized for operation from a single power supply of either 3.3 Vdc or 5.0 Vdc. These sensors measure gage and differential pressures.The Basic Amplified pressure sensors are intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic gases, such as air and other dry gases. 

The following options extend the performance of these sensors to non-corrosive liquids.

• No silicone gel coating: The input port is limited to non-corrosive, non-ionic media such as dry air and gases and should not be exposed to condensation. The gases are limited to media that are compatible with high temperature polyamide, silicone, alumina ceramic, silicon, gold, and glass.

• Silicone gel coating: Uses the same materials in the wetted media path but is protected from condensation by a siliconebased gel coating; allows use in applications where condensation may occur. 

All products are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards.
