DCS Control Techniques Adds Wall Mount Packages 1 400x275

When working with industrial pumping, such as crop irrigation or wastewater management, simple and reliable flow control is paramount in ensuring efficient operations. Control Techniques, part of Nidec Motor Corporation, has introduced new wall-mounted panel models of its packaged pump solutions for use in pumping applications. These easy to install, pre-configured solutions save engineering costs, resources, and time with the ability to control single and multiple pump applications without a costly PLC (programmable logic controller).

Control Techniques’ pre-configured pump packages contain its industry-designed pump drive F600 developed with easy-to-use, pump application-specific software functions, real-time clock, Hand/Off/Auto LCD keypad, input disconnect switch, and space for several power options inside a robust UL Type 3R enclosure. In addition, Control Techniques’ Wall Mount Panels (WMP) and Control Techniques’ Free Standing (DFS) are also ready for fast deployment and can scale to nearly any pump size and functional requirement.

These pumping packages are specifically created to offer high performance for the harsh environments often found in pumping applications. Control Techniques’ WMP and DFS pump packages feature a surge arrestor, which provides transient voltage surge suppression as well as a circuit breaker disconnect with high SCCR ratings. All of Control Techniques’ packaged pumping solutions are designed with field serviceability in mind, giving the added benefit of shorter maintenance downtimes.

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
