Up Time Magazine - February/March 2009 - (Page 63) upgrade Applied Robotics Inc. announces its new family of Solid State Electrical Switches. The new switches employ solid state pressure sensors and surface mount interface electronics, all self-contained within a sealed housing. The new switches are used with the company’s line of QuickSTOP Collision Sensors which operate on air pressure to immediately send a shutdown signal on impact. The Quickstop Collision Sensors are ideal from many industrial applications including material handling, machine loading/unloading, pick and place operations, and spot welding. All QuickSTOP models feature dynamically variable trip points allowing the user to program your collision sensor at all speeds of an operation. The breakaway threshold adjusts to match the working force ranges of your robot/application. for more info www.appliedrobotics.com Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announces the launch of the new TITAN 4000 Total Nitrogen/Sulfur/Chlorine (NSX) analyzer. This streamlined NSX analyzer, up to 60% smaller than competing analyzers, offers users in the refinery and petrochemical markets superior sample introduction and enhanced oxidative combustion performance. Its innovative detectors enable increased analysis speed (TN/TS samples within an unsurpassed two minutes and TX samples in under four minutes) and productivity, as well as maximum accuracy and reliability of results. Its extensive working range covers total nitrogen/sulfur/chlorine applications from low ppb (parts per billion) to high ppm (parts per million) concentrations. In addition, the use of a powerful combustion method allows the analyzer to cater for a wide range of applications in refinery and chemical samples.

The FluidScan monitor can be used to quickly check the condition of lubricants such as hydraulic fluid, engine oil, turbine engine oil for contamination. Current practices require maintenance crews to extract fluid samples and send them to remote or centralized laboratories for testing to determine whether or not maintenance is required. We battle “bugs” everyday. Let us show you how to eliminate defects and begin the road to Continuous Improvement. Commtest Instruments, Ltd’s vb8™ machinery analyzer is a powerful four-channel vibration analyzer and balancer. Couple the speed and power of this dynamic instrument with Commtest’s new patented 6Pack™ technology, and reliability professionals can acquire 6 recordings each on two channels simultaneously with a plethora of asset condition information – all in a mere two seconds! The analyzer has preset measure-mode diagnostic features including: cross-channel phase, bump test, bode plots, long time waveform, etc. The analyzer can acquire 12,800 lines of resolution, has 1GB memory, a memory-stick port for data transfer alternative, triax enabled, has greater than 95dB of dynamic range, 40 kHz Fmax and, as is standard with all of Commtest’s family of vbSeries® Analyzers, is C1D2 certified. Spectro, Inc. 978-486-0123 info@spectroinc.com www.spectroinc.com Powerful, Multi-LED, Broad-Beam UV-A Lamp Ideal for NDT Inspection Spectronics Corporation has introduced the powerful Spectroline® TRITAN™ 365 — an ultra-high-intensity, multi-LED, broad-beam UV-A inspection lamp perfect for NDT applications. The TRITAN 365 features three ultra-hi-flux UV-A LEDs for NDT inspection, plus a white light LED to illuminate dark areas. It produces a nominal steady-state 365nm intensity of 5,500 µW/ cm² at a distance of 15 inches (38 cm). This versatile lamp meets MIL and ASTM intensity specs for FPI and MPI. 1-800-274-8888 Outside US and Canada, 516-333-4840 www.spectroline.com www.uptimemagazine.com US - 877 582-2946 Other +64 (3) 374 2337 www.commtest.com Shimpo Instruments has released their DT-209X series laser hand held tachometer for RPM, RATE and LENGTH measurements.
