| INTEGRATED
MUTING SYSTEM simplifies entrance/exit guarding The IMS Safety Muting System easily integrates into nearly any entrance and exit conveyor system application and is engineered to distinguish between material and people entering a dangerous area. This differentiation is achieved by arranging the muting sensors in such a way that only a very particular combination of signals triggered by incoming material allows the system to enter a safety-muted state. With the IMS, an immediate machine stop is triggered if the proper sensor sequence or combination does not occur, e.g. if a person has entered the access area. If, however, a product is passing by on a conveyor, the system detects this without interrupting the workflow by muting, or temporarily inhibiting the operation of the safety system so that manufacturing operations continue normally.

MONOXIDE METER detects CO levels to 10,000 ppm Checking CO levels is as easy as pushing just one button on Extech's new carbon monoxide meter, model C050, which measures up to 10,000ppm. The backlighting on the display automatically switches on in low light areas. An audible indicator increases in tone up to 30ppm. Above 30ppm, a two-tone alarm is activated. There is a 0 to 999ppm display for low end monitoring. The meter provides a 15 minute ambient room test and stores the peak value. Extech Instruments

| MONITORING
DEVICE measures combustible gas and oxygen The Pac Ex 2 is a compact and rugged hand-held, combustible gas and oxygen monitoring device. Simple and easy to operate, it features a clear, fully functional LCD concentration display with audible, visual and vibrating alarms to provide personal protection. An optional sample pump allows for confined-space measurements. A unique application of the monitor is the ability to measure combustible gases in the 0-100% LEL range and the range of 0-25% volume oxygen. Covering these ranges, the Pac Ex 2 measures for smaller leaks as well as larger concentrations. Draeger Safety, Inc.

NITRILE GLOVE delivers sure grip The Zorb-IT™'s "sponge nitrile" technology produces an extra-absorbent nitrile dip that conforms and adheres to the nylon shell. It absorbs oil and grease while still delivering a sure grip. The oil stops at the glove, not at the hand. The glove doesn't delaminate after only a few washes and stands up to repeated washings with no shrinkage. Best Glove Manufacturing Ltd.

| REFILLABLE
WIPING SYSTEM helps reduce cross-contamination Kimberly-Clark is extending its line of KIMTECH PREP™ wipers for the WETTASK® Refillable Wiping System. The wiper is a meltdown base sheet that can be used with bleach or solvents. Each sheet measures 12" x 12.25" and there are six rolls of 90 sheets per case, along with a free dispensing bucket. Users simply place a dry roll of the appropriate wiper in the bucket and then add their own cleaning solution. The sheets are dispensed via a port at the top of the bucket. The enclosed system helps reduce cross-contamination and exposure to chemical vapours or splashes. Kimberley-Clark Professional

CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS SOFTWARE for AS-Interface Safety at Work Network Version 2.0 of the Windows®-based ASiMON safety configuration software facilitates simple configuration and verification of AS-Interface networked SafetyMonitors and SafetyNodes. Critical configuration steps are tightly controlled and password protected for enhanced security. During the configuration process, a printable safety log is automatically generated for review and to be included as part of the safety documentation. This safety log can also be retrieved from the SafetyMonitor when necessary. Since every operation of the SafetyMonitor is represented by a graphical "function block," the status of each function block is displayed on the diagnostics screen. Pepperl+Fuchs

| SOUND CONTROL
PANELS now available in light grey New light grey SONEXclassic Panels are available in colortec, an exclusive process in which illbruck's Class 1 fire-rated willtec® foam is impregnated with dye. A deeper shade, charcoal grey, is already available for a variety of interior spaces that require quality sound control with an enhanced appearance. Dye penetrates the entire thickness of each panel, making it possible to keep a clean, consistent look even when pieces must be cut to fit around conduit or other obstructions. Discretely placed on walls and ceilings, the panels will easily absorb disruptive sounds like noise from machines as well as the highs and lows of conversation and laughter. illbruck
