VLT low harmonic drives
30 July, 2009 | Supplied by: Danfoss (Australia) Pty Ltd
The VLT Aqua Drive, VLT Automation Drive and VLT HVAC Drive are now available in a low harmonic version. The VLT low harmonic drive reduces the harmonic distortion and load on the supply network by actively imposing currents in counter phase, so that the high-quality sine wave of the network current is restored.
Low harmonic drives
30 July, 2009 | Supplied by: Danfoss (Australia) Pty Ltd
Danfoss Drives claims to have launched the first mass-produced VLT low harmonic drive. The drive eliminates the harmonic disturbances on the supply grid by actively imposing currents into the grid so that the high-quality sine wave of the grid current is maintained.
Low-cost thermal imaging camera
30 July, 2009 | Supplied by: Emona Instruments Pty Ltd

Discrete-input transmitters
21 July, 2009 | Supplied by: Honeywell Process Solutions
Honeywell has added two discrete-input transmitters to its family of XYR 6000 wireless devices. The STXW 500 and the STTW 401 transmitters can convert any measurement device with a contact-closure switch input into a wireless input, enabling manufacturers to decrease costs and improve efficiency by wirelessly monitoring more processes at their plants. The transmitters are suitable for applications such as wirelessly monitoring level switches, pump status and system alarms.

Modular docking connector system
25 June, 2009 | Supplied by: HARTING Pty Ltd
The Han-Modular system now allows ‘blind’ insertion by automatic processes. The newly developed docking frame makes it possible to set up a modular docking connector without a housing. This allows the modular system to be used in insertion processes that are not hand-guided. With Han-Modular, users can select and assemble their customised connectors themselves.
Pump and fan drive
25 June, 2009 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has announced a low-voltage AC drive, specifically targeted at pump and fan applications ranging from 0.37 to 22 kW. Built-in PID controllers are used to vary the drive’s performance in response to changes in pressure, flow or other external data, modifying the performance according to the needs of the application. This can eliminate the need for an external PLC and helps to save energy.
Quick disconnect sensor-cordset combination
25 June, 2009 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has expanded its range of FM approved 12, 18 and 30 mm 3-wire DC barrel sensor and cordset combinations.
