Kernel 7.2 Enables Custom 3D Application Creation

Lattice Technology has announced the release of XVL Kernel 7.2 - the latest update to its core application that allows developers to create custom 3D applications using XVL. XVL Kernel delivers access at the geometry level to harness the power of XVL in such applications, so that XVL data can be natively created within other software. The program is used by developers worldwide as part of integrated CAD, AEC and custom applications requiring very compressed and accurate 3D data.

The XVL format is said to be the industry's most lightweight 3D format, with no loss of accuracy of the 3D data, enabling 3D CAD data to be rapidly and easily used for enterprise-wide 3D data use, downstream technical documentation, Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) systems and digital mockup. Lattice delivers digital mockup (DMU) and technical documentation direct from 3D data. The XVL Studio product range delivers core illustration and technical documentation tools through to advanced DMU functions for testing and simulating products, processes and assemblies accurately prior to prototype.

Lattice3D Reporter allows immediate and automated delivery of 3D manufacturing, service and maintenance data directly into Excel spreadsheets, and XVL Web Master delivers the same data into HTML. Lattice3D Dataway delivers native 3D data into the Lattice Technology Solutions and allows creation of 3D mBOMs/sBOMs into PDF. Other tools from Lattice allow integration and automation of the DMU and technical documentation functions into enterprise IT, ERP and PLM infrastructures, with added options for security, data redaction and batch processing.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
