Plant Services - May 2008 - (Page 65) Sharp imager The i5 compact infrared camera is designed to be an easy-to-use, affordable troubleshooting tool. Accuracy of 2% and thermal sensitivity of 0.18°F/0.1°C provide compliance to NETA testing requirements, and QuickReport PC software eases download of standard jpeg thermal images with radiometric data as well as generating reports, analysis, and documenting findings. At only 12 oz., its light weight minimizes user fatigue, and its fully automatic design includes a focus-free lens and a 2.8-in. high-resolution color LCD. Five-hour operation on a single charge allows uninterrupted inspections. The camera comes complete with a 5,000-image 512 MB miniSD Card with adaptor, Li-Ion rechargeable battery with 100-240 VAC adaptor/ charger, software with USB cable, built-in lens shutter and hand strap. Crimp with ConfidenCe A new line of high-quality crimp tools feature a compact, ergonomic construction and deliver 25% more crimping force with 20% less physical effort. A “hard/hard” handle combination stands up to industrial use and exposure to oils and lubricants, and the new ergonomic design provides an improved gripping position to ensure that fingers are not inadvertently squeezed together during use. The handle design also features a new leverage system that decreases the level of hand fatigue and stress – a manual force of 400 N can create a crimping force of up to 14 tons. Finally, an integrated ratchet allows the tool to open only when the crimping process has been fully completed. Extech (781) 890-7440 www.extech.com put eyeS on lift truCkS The iWarehouse enterprise fleet-management solution collects and analyzes real-time lift truck data to maximize fleet productivity and reduce costs. Real-time information from the company’s lift trucks can be accessed via a custom Web portal to generate reports and benchmark lift truck and operator productivity; diagnose potential lift truck issues remotely; reduce the risk of impacts; and optimize lift truck capital and maintenance costs. The system connects with a single connector and the data is not inferred from contactors and sensors, but comes from the vehicle manager itself. A variety of modules enable warehouse managers to collect detailed information about lift truck fleets and even send the lift trucks some instructions. Weidmuller (800) 849-9343 www.weidmuller.com hot and humid? The OM-CP-RHTEMP 2000 wall-mountable temperature and humidity data logger simultaneously displays remote readings of environmental parameters. The eight-button, lock-capable keypad and backlit LCD provide easy access to current data and recorder setup, as well as memory and battery levels, sampling and recording status, and external power status. Available on-screen data includes statistics (min, max, average) for both channels, recording status (start, stop and recording rate), display options (channels shown, units, text size), and calibration information (date calibrated, date for recalibration). It sports a large memory capacity and will retain recorded data even when AC and battery power are lost. The Raymond Corp. (800) 235-7200 www.raymondcorp.com watCh that pump Onboard pump intelligence is now a standard feature of the ANSI Model 3196. The new i-Frame provides early warning of trouble so changes can be made before failure occurs. A stainless steel condition monitor atop the power end measures vibration and temperature. Variations that exceed preset parameters activate flashing red lights. The patent-pending design also incorporates premium severe-duty thrust bearings, which increase fatigue life by two to five times that of standard bearings, and dual stainless steel, bronze-bearing isolators for corrosion resistance.
