Bussman Next generation CCP for Class CCP, supplemental and 10x38mm fuses

The revolutionary next generation BussmannTM series Compact Circuit Protector (cat. no. CCP2) for UL Class CC, UL supplemental and IEC 10x38 mm fuses delivers the smallest footprint compared to any Class CC disconnect solution -- requiring up to 38% less space.

The next generation CCP features through-the-door and through-the-side operation flexibility, a multi-wire lug kit with terminal shrouds to reduce wire connection and control panel components, and optional selector and pistol handles. And it still packs up to a 200 kA short-circuit current rating to help increase equipment SCCR.

Banner Engineering T18-2 Series Sensor with All Plastic Housing

Banner's T18-2 Series, the next generation of the popular T18 Series, was designed for a higher level of performance in harsh, washdown environments. The new T18-2 photoelectric sensors have an FDA-grade shatterproof plastic housing and are IP69K rated and ECOLAB™ certified to protect against water ingress and chemical washdown. In thermal shock environments, the all-plastic, ultrasonically welded, and epoxy encapsulated housing of the T18-2 outperforms competitive sensors with metal housings.

FEATURES

• IP69K and Epoxy Encapsulation for Wet Environments: The T18-2 Series sensor is designed to hold up to high-pressure, high-temperature washdown. The epoxy fill eliminates internal air cavities in the housing that can lead to condensation inside sensors during temperature cycling.


• ECOLAB™ Certified FDA Grade Plastic: The sensors have been tested by Ecolab to certify that they resist damage when exposed to common cleaning chemicals. The plastic used throughout the T18-2 is made of FDA-approved shatterproof plastic for use on food production lines.


• Improved Design for Easier Cleaning: Crevices have been minimized to eliminate debris buildup. The knurls have also been removed from the nut, and the light pipes have been over-molded for easy cleaning. All labels have been removed and replaced with permanent laser etching. Installing the nut, optional seal kit, and bracket will cover all exposed threads on the nose.


• Durable Ultrasonic Weld for a Superior Seal: Ultrasonic welding is an advantage of using an all-plastic housing and creates a superior joint. Metal sensors contain plastic windows and other components that are joined mechanically or with adhesives. The joints are then subject to thermal shock because the metal and plastic components expand and contract at different rates, creating small gaps and allowing water inside the sensor. Ultrasonic welding fuses plastic components into one solid piece of durable plastic that is not affected by thermal shock.

Banner Engineering iVu Vision Sensors Add Color Inspection Capabilities

Banner's iVu Series Vision Sensors are now available in models capable of color inspections. iVu Color Sensors build on the inspection capabilities offered by iVu Vision Sensors by enabling inspections based on color or variations in color, as well as by type, size, orientation, or position. They offer the same ease-of-use, features, and compact design as other iVu Vision Sensors, and are available in models with an integrated or remote touch screen.

FEATURES

Application Flexibility: In addition to the Match, Area, Blemish, and Sort sensor types standard to iVu Series Vision Sensors, iVu Color Sensors feature three new sensor types:

• Average Color allows you to monitor objects for color or variations in color
• Color Area verifies that a feature, or multiple features, are present and are the correct color
• Color Compare can be used to verify that an object matches a reference color

Sensor types can be used alone or together to solve more applications and more complex applications. 

Increased Uptime: iVu Series Vision Sensors can store up to 30 inspections. Inspection parameters can be changed while inspections are in progress without stopping and restarting processes. 

Ease of Use: iVu Color Sensors feature touch screen operation, have a graphical user interface, and menu-driven tools that make it easy to setup, manage, and monitor inspections without a PC
