Magnetic position sensors with IO-Link
This company has extended its offering of compact position sensors with the WIM-IOL series (photo) for detecting magnetic pistons in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The new series consists of eight sensors with IO-Link 1.1, covering measuring ranges from 32 to…
Ethernet remote I/O modules with conditional logic computing
BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules (photo) are now enhanced with conditional logic. The conditional logic increases the functionality with a system of rules that allows extremely complicated decisions based on relatively simple “yes/no” questions. For example, reading an analog…
One controller manages multiple feeders
The GUC-F Universal Feeder Controller (photo) allows additional feeding capacity to be installed to meet increased or changing production demands without purchasing additional, individual controllers for each feeder. Devised to future-proof against sudden demand spikes and provide flexibility to accommodate…
This natural-gas analyzer now has new features
A new version of the J22 tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) gas analyzer (photo) now includes support for the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, which enables users to communicate with their analyzers from a central network location in a bidirectional, secure point-to-point…
Compressors, Fans, Blowers
Steel alloy compressor valve offers lower installed cost Unlike its stainless-steel counterpart, designated StraightFlo SS (severe service), the new SE StraightFlo SE (standard edition) reciprocating compressor valve (photo) serves relatively non-corrosive compressor applications typically found in upstream and midstream gas-compressor…
Silicone-coated gloves for window manufacturing
The RepTek Grip silicone palm-coated gloves provide adhesion resistance paired with high cut resistance and dexterity. Hot butyl can become bothersome when it sticks to gloves, shortening the life and costing more money. This new silicone coating prevents sealant or…
Pipes, Tubes and Fittings
A portable pipe beveling tool prepares pipe for welding The Wart Millhog Portable Pipe Beveler (photo) is a right-angle I.D. clamping tool for performing any angle of end prep on 0.75 in. I.D. to 4-in. O.D. pipe of different schedules.…
