Flex Connectors Supplies Light Control For Youths Flex Connectors' energy saving lighting control and connection products have been used in a youth venue in Norwich. The project is part of myplace; a ten year Government scheme which aims to provide improved facilities for young people. OPEN is the first of these venues to be completed in the UK. The installation contractor required a system capable of handling the complexities of the lighting brief. Flex Connectors occupancy sensors, plugs, leads, sockets and project configured connection boxes were chosen to use throughout the building.

Aerco has brought out the Safetinex Range Of Safety Light Curtains From Contrinex, the modular design of which allows fully tested systems to be delivered on a short time scale. Contrinex safety light curtains correspond to Safety Category 4 (EN/ISO 13849-1) and Type 4 (EN/IEC 61496 -1 and -2) and are designed to be used wherever risks cannot be eliminated through machine design. The light curtain will immediately stop the machine if it detects a person or any part of the body entering a danger zone. Safetinex light curtains consist of a rugged sender and a receiver unit that demarcate the protection zone around the machine. The range comprises models with resolutions of 14mm for finger protection and 30mm for hand protection, with a maximum protective field width of 3.5 and 12m respectively. The maximum protective height is either 1685mm (14mm resolution) or 1822mm (30mm resolution). The Safetinex's signal-processing method ensures fast response times and maximum safety for m...

Intertronics Offers Ultra-Light-Weld GA-111 Gasket Intertronics has introduced a moisture-resistant gasketing resin from Dymax for sealing electrical conduit boxes, appliance housings and critical electronic assemblies and devices. The ultra-light-weld GA-111 is a UV/visible light-curable form-in-place (FIP) gasket developed for applications requiring a low-compression set, a tack-free surface and durable, reliable sealing. It is a soft gasket material with high adhesion to metals, while providing a barrier to prevent the absorption or penetration of air, dust, moisture, liquids and gaseous substances. Peter Swanson, managing director of Intertronics, said: 'This new gasketing material can be dispensed into intricate and complex configurations with the benefit of inline curing, which allows for increased production speed, greater output, lower processing costs and reduced inventories. 'The Dymax GA-111 is a one-part resin, requiring no mixing. 'It is low out-gassing, cu...

GAO Tek Unveils High-Stability Light Sources GAO Tek has introduced the GAO3100 series of light sources, with highly stable output power and wavelengths. This series is ideal for simulating various conditions in the manufacture, testing and maintenance of passive optical components. These light sources conduct high-efficiency testing by using high-accuracy automatic power control (APC) and automatic temperature control (ATC) techniques. They can deliver one to three wavelengths specified by the user, and optical laser types are also available. They provide adjustable optical output power and two communication ports: RS485 and RS232.

Contrinex, the Swiss sensor manufacturer, has introduced a range of safety light curtains. Known as Safetinex, the modular design allows fully tested systems to be delivered on a very short time scale.

In addition to compliance with the IEC 61496 (Type 2) international safety standard, excellent performance with good ease of use is provided in a wide variety of applications from compact machinery installed side-by-side to save space, through to large equipment for long-range, wide-area sensing. The SF2B Series Of SUNX safety light curtain helps to make safety measures easier and plays an indispensable part in creating a safe working environment. The sensing area contains no dead spaces. Even with serial connections, there are no dangerous openings at the interfaces between SUNX light curtains. Seamless structure with reduced seam area prevents intrusion of particles such as oil, mists, and dust. This makes simpler and more compact installation possible. The inner unit is protected by a cylindrical inner case. The seams such as unit and lens surfaces have been greatly reduced, so that particles such as oil mists and dust are prevented from getting in. The protective structure is IP...
