New Products 18 IEN / OCTOBER '16 www.ien.com Unlike competitors whose specifications are only proven in the lab under controlled conditions, our products deliver accuracy in the field. Our Bearingless Digital Torquemeters offer the highest accuracy, overrange and over- load of any similar products on the market. Plus, they're simple to install and very tolerant of rotor- to - stator misalignments. Model: MCRT ® T 84004V A s k u u s t t o p p r o v e o u r p p e r f o r m a n c e d i f f e r e n c e . S.

Electronic Counter Helps Manage Pneumatic Tools Cleco, a brand of Apex Tool Group (Sparks, MD), introduces its new TULMan Electronic Counter, a universal product de- signed to effectively manage pneumatic tools. The electronic counter allows users to monitor tool usage, and implement preventative maintenance. The TULMan Electronic Counter enables maintenance intervals or calibration checks to be set based on cycles or run time. A yellow LED light warns when the cycle or run time limits are near, while it turns red when cycle or run time limits have been reached. The electronic counter can also allow users to track tool usage or compare product usage among different operators to improve productivity and processes. Benefits include: • Free downloadable software that provides programming tools to establish cycle time, warnings, and limits. The software also allows file downloads in CSV format to easily share data. With multiple password access modes, the software can easily be used among multiple tool operators. • A micro USB connection for easy program setup and data download. The micro USB access also has a tamper-proof cover to ensure safety. • An ideal design for a variety of applications, including calibration and monitoring of pneumatic assembly tools, as well as material removal using hand drills, sanders, grinders and polishers. www.apextoolgroup.com; 410-773-7800 Compact, Single-Point Load Cells METTLER TOLEDO (Columbus, OH) has announced the launch of its new compact, single-point SLP85xD load cells. Their speed and ability to be built into large networks enhance productivity when multiple bot- tles, cans or drums are weighed within a fraction of a second simultaneously and in parallel. Fully integrat- ed electronics can capture 1,200 weight values per second, making them ideal for multi-line filling and checkweighing applications. Quick connectivity via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO RT or PROFIBUS DP is in- corporated into the compact unit for easy integration and start up, and it also minimizes ef- forts for wiring and requires less material, which saves costs for the machine manufacturer. Features include: • Comprehensive overload protection, leading to extensive product service life. The protection safeguards the module from outside forces regardless of direction of origin, protecting the accuracy of the module both during normal operation and equipment malfunction events. • Hermetically sealed (IP69K) SLP85xD load cells, meaning they can be cleaned with high-pressure water jets. This fulfills Clean-In-Place requirements and reduces down- time for the cleaning process. • The load cell can be used either to control the entire filling process with its digital outputs or as a sensor only to provide fast weight results to the control system. In both cases, a fast update rate of the weight values ensures the fastest reaction times for controlling the filling valves. • The ability to transmit diagnostic information to the control system about its own health status and about the status of the filling application. This information can be used for predictive maintenance to minimize downtime. www.mt.com/SLP85xD; 800-638-8537 Turn Your iPad into a Vibration Measuring Device ACE Controls (Farmington Hills, MI) announces the new VibroChecker PRO native iOS app, designed to turn iP- hones and iPads into professional vibration and impact measuring devices, providing users with a high-perfor- mance, lightweight alternative to more costly systems. The original VibroChecker app from Ace Controls uses the acceleration sensors, gyroscopes and microphones integrated in the iPhone and iPad to measure vibrations on machines and components within a frequency range of up to 50 Hz. Upgrading to the new 'PRO' version of the app increases the range up to 8,000Hz. The user simply has to connect an external USB sensor (available from a 3rd par- ty) to the iOS device via the lightning port and an adaptor. www.acecontrols.com; 800-521-3320 u-Remote Safe Power-Feed Modules Weidmuller (Richmond, VA) announces the release of the newest addition to their award-winning u-remote distributed I/O module line-up – the u-remote Safe Power-feed Mod- ules. Unique to the market today, the new UR20-PF-O safe power-feed modules feature: • Integrated functionality to safely switch off power to all modules that are within a safety segment, eliminating the need for a safety controller. • Stringent machine safety standards that include SIL 3 CL and Category 4 PL e, and can help increase efficiency and reduce wiring costs in applications by eliminating costly home run wiring while providing immediate feedback on the status of the safety circuit. • The ability to safely switch off the power to all output modules when supplied from the safe power-feed slice. This function creates a "safety segment" that is managed locally by the UR20-PF-O safe power-feed module. The safety rated input works to- gether with pulsed inputs to detect broken wires and short circuits. These safe pow- er-feed modules go beyond standard safety relays by providing real-time feedback on which safety circuit is down. Since this functionality is built into the modules, there is no need for expensive safety controllers and complex safety programs. Available in 1 input, 2 inputs, or 2 inputs with delay, the UR20-PF-O safe power-feed mod- ules can offer cost savings for a wide range of safety-related equipment. www.weidmuller.com; 800-849-9343
