How Omron’s Technology Makes Safety Solutions More Interactive

How Omron’s Technology Makes Safety Solutions More Interactive

A lot of safety-related troubleshooting requires the input of a safety expert, but what happens when you need answers ASAP and a safety specialist isn’t available? With the right technologies, many safety issues can be resolved without extensive expertise. Omron is developing a new concept dubbed “interactive safety” in which solutions are designed to help the average operator take the necessary steps to troubleshoot and maintain a safety system.

 

 

 

Allied Electronics & Automation: Orion Fans High-Efficiency EC Fans Reduce Power Consumption by 50%

Allied Electronics & Automation: Orion Fans High-Efficiency EC Fans Reduce Power Consumption by 50%

Designed to reduce power consumption by up to 50% in a variety of AC fan applications, electronically commutated (EC) fans from Orion Fans offer a significantly lower‑power, energy‑efficient cooling solution. The AC‑input fans utilize a brushless DC motor and incorporate voltage transformation within the motor for significantly lower power consumption. For custom requirements, dual‑speed EC fans can be programmed at the factory to deliver even more power savings.

 

 

 

Wieland Electric: High Current, High Voltage Power Bus for Manufacturing, Conveying & Logistics

Wieland Electric: High Current, High Voltage Power Bus for Manufacturing, Conveying & Logistics

The podis power bus system provides decentralized and flexible power distribution for factories, airports and warehouses. With its unique design and connection technology, the podis system is easy, fast, & safe to install and maintain. The new 5-core tray cable system provides higher load capacity to allow for more drives per segment and longer cable sections. Compared to other installations that require long cable lengths, the voltage drop along the bus is significantly reduced.

 

 

 

Rockwell Automation: Short-Circuit Current Ratings

Rockwell Automation: Short-Circuit Current Ratings

What is short-circuit current rating (SCCR)? The maximum available short-circuit current an electrical component can sustain without the occurrence of excessive damage when protected with an overcurrent protective device. Determining the SCCR of a complete industrial control panel or control switchgear can be challenging, especially if proper considerations are not made during the initial stages of the component selection process.
