PTC Announces Details of Its UK Technology Forum

Parametric Technology (PTC) will discuss business best practices and show products such as Windchill 10.0 and Mathcad Prime 1.0 at its UK Technology Forum on 12 May at Moor Hall in Sutton Coldfield. The free, day-long forum is designed for those interested in all aspects of product development, understanding current trends and learning how PTC's solutions can help to optimise their product development processes. Organisations of all sizes are under pressure to get better products to market faster.

The challenges of globalisation, compliance and product complexity affect the ability to maintain a competitive advantage, according to the company. In addition, with the current challenges facing the global economy, efficient product development is important for achieving sustainable success. PTC claims that it will offer attendees solutions to overcome these challenges. Attendees are also encouraged to participate in roundtable discussions with industry specialists and guest speakers.

The forum begins at 09:00 with the introduction of PTC's technology vision and strategy. The agenda includes customer and product presentations, topic-oriented business tracks and a networking lunch where peers can discuss best practices for real business benefit. PTC partners and service and technology experts will be available to discuss business challenges and solutions.

Highlights will include: Windchill 10.0; Creo breakthrough technologies such as Anydata Adoption and Anyrole apps; Relex, for quality, safety and risk management; Insight, for the end-to-end management of environmental compliance and material content information; an introduction, roadmap and demonstration of Mathcad Prime 1.0; roundtable discussions with speakers including Dr Peter Rayson of Birmingham University; and the Elearning Lab, for hands-on experience with web-based training.

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.
