Compressed Air Industry PLASTICS BLOW-MOLDING | 04/08 | PRODUCT PICKS New Booster Compressors to 650 psig New ISO 15407-1 Pneumatic Valve & Fieldbus System The Pneumatic Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation has introduced Isys HA (26mm) and HB (18mm) ISO 15407-1 valves. The new valves are equipped with a central 4-pin M12 connector that provides a single electrical connection for single and double solenoids via a cord set linked to an M12 fieldbus output module or I/O distribution block. The cord set reduces wiring time because it eliminates conduit runs and wire pulling while improving line management. Isys M12 valves were developed in direct response to industrial requirements for a rugged stainless-steel connector with IP65 rating. The M12 connector is available with both Isys 18mm and 26mm valve sizes for use with industry standard cables. Designed to fill a specific market niche, Isys valves are perfect for industrial markets with an automotive focus and OEMs standardized on M12 connectors. ISO standardization provides OEM security, especially for European-influenced global machine builders. The new Isys M12 model is the latest addition to the Isys family of pneumatic valves, which use ISO 15407 and 5599 dimensional and electrical standards as its foundation. IsysNet is the family’s Fieldbus System for providing communication between the valve’s pneumatic and electrical components. Utilizing a common platform compatible with all Isys ISO valves, IsysNet provides preferred connectivity with EtherNet/IP and Rockwell Automation’s ™ ControlNet. Parker’s Isys eConfigurator is a 3D CAD manifold configuration system that reduces the time it takes to configure a manifold, with drawings and a bill of materials, by 80%. Parker Hannifin (269) 629-5000 clandis@parker.com www.parker.com New Remote Monitoring & Data Logging System Onset Computer Corporation launched the HOBO Remote Monitoring System, a state-ofthe-art industrial-grade data logging system that provides energy managers, facility managers and others with instant access to energy and HVAC/R systems data anywhere, anytime via the Internet. The new system combines data logging hardware with built-in GSM cellular ™ communications and HOBOlink, a new webenabled software platform. HOBOlink allows users to access current and historical data, set alarm notifications and relay activations, and manage and control HOBO Remote Monitoring systems right from their desktop. Kaeser Compressors has expanded its proven line of booster compressors. Providing pressures to 650 psig and flows to 685 cfm fad, these units are a convenient, economical way to boost existing plant pressure for PET bottling systems while eliminating the need for expensive, separate high-pressure systems. Mounted on heavy-gauge base plates with anti-vibration pads, Kaeser boosters do not require special foundations and fastenings. Standard N Series High-Pressure compressors come complete with TEFC motor and starter, as well as aluminum cylinder heads and finned copper cooling pipes for efficient aftercooling. Booster Extra Pressure (EP) compressors include precision manufactured, two or three cylinder pumps with 100% duty cycle and a new forced lubrication system with continuous, full filtration. These features, combined with an automatic v-belt tensioning device, provide reliable operation and extended equipment service life. Kaeser Compressor (800) 777-7873 www.kaeser.com The HOBO Remote Monitoring System provides fully integrated data logging and cellular communications in a single unit, eliminating the need for users to integrate components separately. And, the system features a plugand-play architecture, which enables users to easily connect a range of Smart Sensors without programming, wiring or calibration. The system features a double weatherproof enclosure for applications where rooftop HVAC or other outdoor systems need to be monitored. Users have access to a wide selection of sensors for measuring a range of parameters including temperature, relative humidity, kW, kWh, AC voltage, AC amps, DC amps, gauge and differential pressure, CO2 and more.
