Powerful Sensors - Versatile Application

The new photoelectric sensors of the 28 series from Leuze electronic are equipped with many technical highlights, but they are characterized in particular by a sophisticated mounting concept.

The sturdy, fiber-reinforced plastic housing with protection class IP 67 makes it possible to attach screw fittings into through holes in the sides. Integrated pockets serve as anti-rotation protection for the M3 nuts for this purpose. In addition, "the sensor people" have equipped the housing with an M18 thread both in the front and on the bottom. A nut included in the delivery contents is sufficient for frontal or standing M18 hole mounting. With the help of a support from the Leuze electronic range of accessories, the sensors can also be mounted on rods. These diverse fastening options enable the user to mount the system quickly and easily for all types of application possibilities. In addition, high performance reserves and the A²LS active suppression of extraneous light make for particularly reliable detection in difficult industrial conditions – even at extreme temperatures of down to -40 °C.

The simple alignment via the highly visible brightVision® light spot, an LED status display (yellow/green), two complementary switching outputs for light and dark switching operation as well as an attractive price/performance ratio round out the profile of the 28 series.

Compact Sensors - Optimal for Tight Installation Spaces

With series 5, Leuze electronic has developed universal photoelectric sensors which are consistently aligned to make the integration of sensors as easy and flexible as possible.

The new universal photoelectric sensors of series 5 are predestined for powerful standard detection in restricted installation spaces. They are used in packaging technology, conveyor and storage systems as well as in special-purpose machinery manufacture. Due to the large temperature range of -40 to +60 °C, the sensors are also suitable for applications in extreme climatic conditions, such as in cold stores. The sturdy plastic housing in particular with protection class IP 67 was designed for difficult industrial situations. M3 metal threaded sleeves guarantee quick and easy mounting. A flexible cable outlet, either leading out from below or from behind, enables integration into the tightest installation spaces. Alignment and commissioning are completed quickly via the large, highly-visible brightVision® light spot. During operation, a high range and the A2LS active supression of extraneous light ensures reliable function.

A particularly bright LED display (yellow/green) visualizes the status for operation, signal and performance reserve. Two complementary switching outputs also provide flexible possibilities for use in light and dark switching operation.

This Encoder Really Gets in Your C-Face

With C-face mounts on both sides, the Model 770 is a rugged, high resolution encoder designed to mount directly on NEMA C-face motors (56C - 184C) and additional devices such as brakes, clutches and gearboxes. Unlike many "kit" type C-face encoders, the Model 770 contains precision bearings and an internal flex mount, which virtually eliminates encoder failures and inaccuracies induced by motor shaft runout or axial endplay.

A slim 1.00" thick, it's ideal for induction motor and flux vector control applications. The Thru-Bore design allows fast and simple mounting of the encoder directly to the accessory shaft or to the drive shaft of the motor. And, the Model 770 typically costs hundreds of dollars less than competitor's low-performance products.

The advanced Opto-ASIC design provides advanced noise immunity necessary for many industrial applications. This encoder is ideal for applications using induction motors and flux vector control. The tough, all metal housing resists the vibration and hazards of an industrial environment.

Heavy Duty Solution: 716 HD10 Housing (Comparable to BEI's H40)

The EPC Model 716 HD10 housing, when combined with the heavy duty mounting plate (part no. 176396-01) matches the bolt pattern, shaft height and shaft diameter of the BEI H40. The 1/4" thick HD10 housing features rugged R10 bearings and is suitable for demanding applications in industries such as lumber, pulp and paper, mining, material handling and more.

The Cube Series housing styles are available in both the Basic Cube Series Models and the Specialty Cube Series Models. The new E-Cube version of the Cube Accu-Coder increases critical performance specifications for the most popular resolutions.

The E-Cube features advanced Opto ASIC circuitry, 125 kHz frequency response, select CPR to 2500, 3 arc minutes accuracy, 85° C standard operating temperature and optional 100° C operation at 5-24 VDC. The single chip design of the E-Cube eliminates many board level components, increasing the reliability of an already dependable and durable industrial encoder. See specifications for available resolutions. The Standard Cube version remains available and covers all resolutions not offered in the E-Cube. Optional 5PY Adaptor (175443) allows any Standard Cube Housing to be interchanged with any 5PY tach generator.

CONTRINEX RFID with All-Metal Components

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) systems permit both writing to and reading from passive electronic labels (battery-free transponders) as opposed to barcode solutions. Data is transferred to and from the transponder using a so-called read/write module. Thanks to great flexibility and operating security, as well as relative insensitivity to adverse environmental conditions, RFID solutions are used in countless industrial identification applications.

CONTRINEX offers both transponders as well as read/write modules in one-piece, all-metal housings of stainless steel, sealed at the sensing face. Thanks to their outstanding chemical and mechanical resistance, they are particularly well-suited for use in difficult industrial conditions.

The CONTRINEX read/write modules are available in sizes M18 and M30 with plastic caps or as all-metal models. The range is completed by a portable read/write device. If necessary, up to 4 read/write modules can be attached to each interface device. The CONTRINEX interface devices are available in three versions and serve as interfaces to Profibus, DeviceNet and RS485. The range of transponders comprises non-embeddable classic plastic models as well as embeddable and non-embeddable impervious all-metal executions, with or without threading. All the transponders are both read and write, and have a memory of 2 kbits. Word or memory zones can additionally be read and/or write protected.

TOSHIBA Releases Mount-Anywhere NSF-Approved Meter for Potable Water Applications

Toshiba's newest development in instrumentation, The LF Electromagnetic Flow Meter, is an NSF-certified offering that uses a hard rubber lining in sizes 4" to 24" and provides a high level of metering accuracy for potable water applications. It incorporates Toshiba's proprietary mount-anywhere magnetic field distribution technology which makes the flow meter highly immune to upstream flow disturbances. These products are now available through Toshiba International Corporation and its partners.

The Toshiba LF electromagnetic flow meter uses Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction to measure process flow. The device consists of two units: 1) a detector, through which the fluid to be measured flows and 2) a converter (LF620/LF622), which supplies excitation current to the detector. Due to its NSF certification, the LF meters utilizing a hard rubber liner will be compliant with any installation where NSF 61-certified materials are required. Communications options include: PROFIBUS-PA, HART, and MODBUS.

Toshiba International Corporation (TIC) is a Toshiba America Inc. Group Company, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation. TIC is comprised of three divisions: the Industrial Division and the Transmission and Distribution Division, both of which are headquartered in Houston, Texas, and the Power Systems Division headquartered in San Francisco, California.
