Rate controller
09 June, 2009 | Scale Components Pty Ltd
Hardy Instruments’ HI 4060 is a compact, single-feeder, closed-loop rate controller for use in a variety of applications, including auger, belt and vibratory-based feeders, converting them from volumetric to gravimetric. After supplying excitation to the load sensors and digitising the weight signal, the rate controller provides an analog output to control the feeder speed and adjusts this signal based on the required rate at which the feeder is losing weight. This rate controller features an embedded web server, true five-point automatic rate calibration, automatic feeder refill, various alarms including rate tolerance and disturbance, and optional DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, remote I/O, Profibus, Modbus TCP/IP and analog communications. It also includes Hardy’s Waversaver technology to eliminate the effects of surrounding vibration for fast, stable weight display, electronic calibration without test weights, an <0x000A>SD memory module card for fast transfer of configuration data and integrated system diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Modelling and simulation software

Thermal dispersion flow switches
09 June, 2009 | Control Components Pty Ltd
The Kayden line of products is based on the thermal dispersion principle of operation. The Classic 800 was conceived to meet the extreme demands of the oil and gas industries, and there are no moving parts to fail, no mechanical trim pots to adjust.
Load cell
09 June, 2009 | Control Overload Pty Ltd
The KIMD-M load cell module is for harsh environments and heavy-duty applications and has a movable load point to allow for thermal expansion of the weigh system.
Temperature controllers with ladder logic
09 June, 2009 | Yokogawa Australia Pty Ltd
The UTAdvanced is a digital indicating controller with a sequence control function, which offers greatly improved measurement, display, operation, control and networking functions. It also eliminates the need for peripheral devices and associated wiring.
Inline liquid density measurement
09 June, 2009 | Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd
With Liquiphant M, Endress+Hauser has used the ‘vibrating fork’ principle of liquid level measurement to enable the accurate and in-situ measurement of liquid density. The resonant frequency of the Liquiphant M’s vibrating fork changes with the varying densities of the materials in which it is placed. This change is used to compute the density or concentration of the medium resulting in instantaneous, repeatable density measurements.
Low-power RTU
09 June, 2009 | Rockwell Automation Australia
Rockwell Automation has introduced an all-in-one controller with SCADA capabilities which is suitable for remote and harsh environments.
Heavy-duty rod locks
09 June, 2009 | Norman G Clark Pty Ltd
Nexen’s RLSS Series rod locks deliver good holding capabilities with low backlash for demanding linear motion control applications where high accuracy is required. The spring-engaged, air-released series — available in a wide array of standard and custom sizes — features a wide clamping surface to ensure high holding forces even during power/pressure loss.
Pinpoint photoelectric sensors
09 June, 2009 | SICK Pty Ltd
Sick has released a range of photoelectric switches and photoelectric proximity switches in which pinpoint LED technology concentrates energy on a smaller area and increases the intensity of the light spot.
Polymer extrusion control system
09 June, 2009 | Tasman Machinery Pty Ltd
Dynisco Instruments has recently released the OPT.TROL polymer control system for control of extrusion lines. This system is designed for small to medium-sized extrusion lines and can either be equipped onto new extrusion lines or retrofitted to upgrade existing extrusion lines.
Basic bulk bag filler
09 June, 2009 | Flexicon Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited
The Model BFB basic bulk bag filler performs low-capacity filling operations at minimal cost and can be upgraded with performance enhancements including a material delivery system integrated with the user’s process equipment or bulk storage vessels.
Evcco FRAS polymer safety conduit
09 June, 2009 | Albatech Pty Ltd
The Evcco FRAS polymer safety conduit offers a halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) polymer formulation developed as an alternative to PVC and metal conduits.
M9200 thermal imagers
09 June, 2009 | W&B Instruments Pty Ltd
Mikron Infrared has released the M9200 series of process thermal imagers. The imagers operate at short wavelength and are specifically designed for high temperature applications up to 3000 °C with an accuracy of ±0.5 of reading.
