Trial Offers New Products IEN / DECEMBER '16 25 www.ien.com Application-Specific Tool Cart Supports Switchgear Manufacturing Creform Corporation (Greer, SC) has designed and built an applica- tions-specific tool cart to support the production operations, machine setup and changeovers of a switch- gear manufacturer. Integral to the cart's development was to optimize tool configurations and placement for both tools and other setup sup- plies. The design of the cart allows the user to add only the accessories needed in order to save space and the ability to configure the cart for the operation. The cart is available as parts only for the user to design and build, as a kit or fully assembled by Creform. In each instance the cart is ideal to promote job efficiency and to reinforce tool accountability. Other benefits include: • An open design, promoting easy visual management; there are no enclosed cabinets or drawers. • The framework of the cart, built with 28 mm blue pipe and black joints, but available in a wide variety of color options. • An integrated metal pegboard on two sides to allow for flexible tool storage and posi- tioning, as well as a bottom horizontal shelf for bulk storage. • Four angled height adjustable shelves with solid surfaces. The shelf surfaces ensure that anything placed on the shelf remains stationary during transport. The surface holds a variety of box sizes or loose parts and the design allows for the easy replace- ment or reduction of shelves. The cart shown is 38"W x 78"H x 25"D and comes with 4" urethane wheels and four large diameter casters—two that swivel for easy rolling and positioning. It has a load capacity of 400 lb. and can be custom configured with the Creform system of pipe and joints. www.creform.com; 800-839-8823 A Non-Invasive Way to Detect Flow Rates Enhanced Optical Sensor Switches from Aalborg Instru- ments (Orangeburg, NY) provides a non-invasive way to de- tect high or low flow rates that can damage your equipment and processes. Easy to operate, the user simply powers up, slides and sets the carrier with the set of self-contained minia- ture photoelectric sensors to monitor the desired level of flow. Excellent for OEM applications, the enhanced sensors, con - sisting of transmitter and receiver, will signal a cut-off valve, alarm or other device (not included) when the float passes above or below the desired setting. Features include: • Enhanced Sensor Switches with one or two rigid carriers. • Can be used in conjunction with a customer-supplied con- trol relay to power alternate equipment or monitoring devices. • Works with all float materials including transparent red-col- ored floats made from sapphire due to the sensors' enhanced design consisting of receiver and trans- mitter. • Response time: 0.5 MS. • Sensors are compact- ly designed and easy to operate. www.aalborg.com; 800-866-3837 Lock-Out/Tag-Out Valves Fabco-Air, Inc. (Gainesville, FL) announces the launch of the new RLT Series Lock-Out/ Tag-Out Valve product line. The 3-Way, Rotary Turn, Lock-Out/Tag-Out Valve Product line is a modular addition to the Fabco-Air FRL components. The connection can be made with NPT port or manifold interface items. These valves are available in the following 3 different inlet port sizes: • ¼" • ⅜" • ½" These manually operated valves are used to prevent undesired operation. While in the ex- haust position, the valve can be locked to prevent an unintentional system start-up. Fur- thermore, this prohibits the unexpected cycling of equipment due to any stored energy in the airline. www.fabco-air.com; 352-373-3578 Food-Grade Lubricant Protectsat Extreme Temps Kluber Lubrication (Londonderry, NH) offers its NH1 CH 6-120 Supreme food-grade lu- bricant that: • Is NSF H1-registered to protect against wear up to 1,200-degrees Fahrenheit. • Does not evaporate at extreme temperatures or require constant re-lubrication. • Provides a solid lubricant formulation that allows particles to become impregnated into the chain, which can substantially extend lubrication intervals. www.Klueber.com; 603-647-4104
