rp 2003/1205SAFETY LIGHT CURTAIN
with no dead zone increases safety

The SL-C series Safety Light Curtain eliminates the "dead zones" found in traditional light curtains and increases worker safety in and around hazardous areas or dangerous machinery by creating a complete "edge-to-edge" detection zone. The series incorporates a new optical system design which allows light elements to be positioned only 5mm from the edge of a light bar segment. It is virtually impossible for any part of the human body, such as workers' hands, to penetrate the light curtain into hazardous, unsafe areas. The design uses a unique "edge-to-edge" bracket configuration with a rotational mechanism enabling SL-C segments to be configured without dead zones. The bracket design enables L-shaped or U-shaped configurations to be easily con  structed while maintaining the small 5mm wide impenetrable space at corners.

rp 2003/1217PLUGGABLE CONNECTOR
for corrosive environments

Expanding its line of industrial "multipole" connectors, Wieland Electric has developed the revos MOT pluggable connector for environments where typical metal hoods and housings would corrode. The high-density connector provides a reliable connection rated at  IP65 (NEMA type 4). The hood and housing is constructed of lightweight, corrosion and UV resistant polyamide and is rated for operation in environments ranging in temperature from ­40°C to +80°C. Wieland designed this connector with motor control applications in mind, but its compact, versatile design makes it a natural choice for any power or signal connection application. Its simple crimp installation allows a higher density pole count for space savings. The revos MOT connector consists of six basic components, including: hood, housing, female insert, female crimp contacts, male insert and male crimp contacts. The inserts allow for up to 10 crimp contacts to be installed as well as a ground crimp contact. The unit is CSA/UL approved at 600V, 16A, #20-12 AWG.

CLOSED END WIRE CONNECTORS
are easy to apply

These closed end wire connectors are available in four models to accommodate sizes 22 through 8 gauge wires. The connectors have an internal metal insert with a Nylon 6/6 insulated cover.

rp 2003/1213RELAY OUTPUT MODULES
are designed for fast shipping

To significantly reduce delivery time, ProgramaCube® modules are pre-manufactured without a function assigned. After an order is received, the function software is added and the unit is shipped fast. This means even hard to find functions, features and options are available at standard lead times. One of the main advantages of the format is, new functions, time ranges and count ranges can be created without designing a new module. New software is inserted into the CE, UL recognized and CSA Certified solid state modules. This eliminates three of the most time consuming steps in the design process. Modules are readily available so the lead time for a custom function is a fraction of that required for the traditional approach. The KRPS is available in any one of 10 timer functions and with fixed or adjustable time delays ranging from 0.1 second to 1000 hours in 9 ranges. The isolated SPDT output relay contacts are rated a full 10A resistive. Encapsulation protects against shock, vibration and  humidity.

rp 2003/1215RELAY MODULES
for real-time control applications

Two new electromechanical relay modules are available for Compact FieldPoint and LabVIEW Real-Time control applications. With the cFP-RLY-421 and the cFP-RLY-423, control and design engineers can perform relay switching on high and low-voltage AC or DC signals. Because these small, rugged switching relay modules can withstand high shock, vibration and wide temperature ranges, control and design engineers can now control indicator lights, external relays, motors and power circuits in harsh environments, including embedded machine control, industrial automation and in-vehicle data logging applications.

FOUR-WHEEL STEER TRAILER
has 60,000 lbs capacity

This all-steel reversible four-wheel steer trailer provides a 30-ton capacity with a low deck height of only 29 1/2". Plate deck welded over structural tube frame has been built to withstand the toughest industrial applications. The trailer is 192" long and 96" wide with the low deck height of 29.5". The loop towing tongue is removable allowing the flexibility for towing from either end eliminating the need for a turnaround area. Fifth wheels at each end are connected by a structural tube tie rod that allows the trailer to maneuver in tighter spaces. Twelve 15" diameter x 9" wide Press-On Polyurethane wheels with 2" tapered roller bearings spread the load over a large area to save the floor from excessive load. Tie down rings around the perimeter help secure the load for safe travel throughout the plant.
