Mach 2010 To Feature New Editions Of Datatrack

PSL will exhibit its Datatrack business administration and production software and the Status Board display system at Mach 2010, where the company is exhibiting alongside Star Micronics GB. New Datatrack editions include Evolution, Precision, Contract and Ultimate modules. First time investors can consider the entry level Evolution system, which provides the functionality to manage essential sales and purchasing functions, from estimate to invoice, together with component and material stock control.

The Precision module is ideal for larger businesses where scheduling, shop-floor data collection and job costing are more critical, together with more sophisticated production analysis. Contract is designed for companies involved in large and small and simple and complex assemblies, such as producers of special-purpose equipment, test rigs and electronic products, including PCBs. Ultimate meets the requirements of companies with the most demanding and varied types of manufacture.

It includes management of tooling, quality, EDI and more functions. The advantage of the new editions is that businesses from any industrial sector from sub-contract manufacturing to any form of assembly or product build can now purchase the edition they need to help manage their business and reduce costs. Upgrading to other editions is simple, as is integrating other modules at a later date when requirements change and business expands. Starting at less than GBP3,000, PSL Datatrack is an affordable and essential tool for every kind of manufacturing business.

All PSL Datatrack editions can be specified to run real-time Status Boards, connect to external systems such as accounting, tooling and material storage systems and can provide EDI links where necessary. The latest version of Status Board is the Boardroom version, which can display any relevant information for a business, giving directors instant real-time updates of key business operating parameters from the moment they arrive in the office. Boardroom Status Board's multi-layer charting facility displays information on any aspect of the manufacturing process, combining production data with KPIs.

Typical displays include: delivery and current WIP values versus budgets; delivery performance specific and by period average; achieved delivery promises; supplier delivery performance and overdue purchases; non-conformance analysis and quality results; and stock-value statistics. The benefits of these displays will be specific to individual company circumstances, but will include tighter financial control, rigid control of inventory, precise analysis of delivery performance, prediction of potential problems and real-time monitoring of production. MACH 2010 will be held at the NEC Birmingham from 7-11 June 2010.

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.
