MC POSITAL Cube Encoders Updating an Industry Favourite 1 400

Cube Encoders from POSITAL: Updating an Old Industry Favourite

 

Cube encoders – incremental rotary encoders with a cube-shaped housing – have been popular with machine builders since the 1960’s, largely because these devices are easy to install without special mounts or brackets. Now POSITAL has updated this old favourite with new features and capabilities that will keep this design relevant for years to come. Updates include simple installation (no special mounts or brackets needed), robust housing tolerant of shock and vibration loading, programmability of incremental interfaces and resolution via UBIFAST configuration tool, cost effective solution for accurate Positioning, and easy drop-In replacement.

DCS Easylaser Now Presenting XT20 andXT22 User Friendly Precision Laser 1 400

Now Presenting Easy-Laser® XT20 and XT22 – A User-Friendly Precision Laser Transmitters Ever Designed!

 

 One of the most important things during a machine installation is to ensure the flatness of the base. With the new XT20 and XT22 we have facilitated handling, which makes for faster measurements and fewer fault sources. More reliable machine installation, put simply. Both transmitters can be used for flatness and straightness measurement. In addition, the XT22 can direct the laser beam at 90 degrees to the laser plane, which means you can solve virtually all types of geometric measurement jobs. The area of use therefore does not stop at measuring the flatness of bases. The XT22 also has a higher technical specification for straightness thanks to fiber laser technology, and can take measurements at distances up to 40 m. The XT20 can take measurements at distances up to 20m but is also IP55 rated water and dust proof.

DCS Littelfuse Compact Cartridge Fuses Available 1 400

Littelfuse Offers Compact Cartridge Fuses Available with High-Current, High-Voltage Ratings

 

Littelfuse, Inc., a global manufacturer of leading technologies in circuit protection, power control, and sensing, recently announced the compact cartridge fuse series available that’s rated at 500Vac/Vdc with current ratings from 40A to 63A and a 10,000A interrupting rating. The 607 Series high-current, high-voltage cartridge fuse, designed for overcurrent protection applications, provides a robust solution for demanding high-voltage power supply circuits. The 500V fuse rating is suitable for both AC and DC inputs. With a 10mm x 32mm cartridge body, a single 607 fuse requires less board space than previous designs that used multiple lower current rated fuses in parallel. As a result, designers can reduce the board space they reserve for protection components when designing high wattage equipment.
