NEW PRODUCTS
Abrasive Grinding Wheels
Sigma Green Premium Grinding Wheels, a line of
abrasive grinding wheels that grind fast to reduce
discoloration and warpage on stainless steel, are
now available from Rex-Cut Abrasives. The wheels
feature proprietary construction that provides rapid
stock removal and leaves a nice finish, especially
on 304 stainless steel where these 36 grit discs
produce a 100 RA finish. Featuring smooth,
chatter-free performance to help reduce operator
fatigue, these grinding wheels are available in
4-, 4.5-, 5-, and 7-inch sizes, with and without
hubs, and optional 5/8-11 throw-away adapters.
The wheels contain only 0.035% iron, with less
than 0.1% of iron, chlorine, and sulfur combined.
Designed for use with right-angle grinders, they
provide 50% faster cutting than aluminum oxide
and 20% cooler cutting, the firm claims. The
4.5-inch wheel is also offered in 46- and 60-grit
versions. (www.rexcut.com)
Rugged Process Junction
TURCK introduced its new stainless steel process
junction box. With the ability to consolidate up
to eight individual, localized analog or discrete
signals into a single device, this junction box
streamlines connectivity requirements. For greater
simplicity, the signals are then routed to a control
unit through a single home-run cable. In addition
to simplifying connectivity, TURCK stainless
steel process junction boxes provide a robust
connectivity solution in harsh environments.
The junction boxes feature FM approval for Class
1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous
locations, and ingress protection of IP67-
including the junction boxes receptacles as long
as the ports are covered/connected. Additionally,
TURCK stainless steel process junction boxes have
cast 316 stainless steel electropolished housing to
ensure optimal performance in areas that present
severe environmental conditions including those
with water, salt spray, gases, and other corrosive
materials. (www.turck.us)
Multichannel Thermocouple Data Logger
Onset announced the HOBO UX120 Thermocouple Logger, a
four-channel LCD data logger for measuring and recording
temperature in a broad range of monitoring applications. The
data logger offers a dramatic price/performance advantage over
competitive products by combining a full-featured, deploymentfriendly
LCD display and flexible support for a variety of plug-in
thermocouple probes. It also makes it easy and convenient to
record temperatures over a broad range (−260C to 1820C) and
can accept up to four J, K, T, E, R, S, B, or N type probes. This
flexibility enables the logger to be used in a range of monitoring
projects. In addition to accepting four thermocouple sensors,
the logger features an internal temperature sensor for logging
ambient temperatures. The logger also features a large memory
capacity capable of storing 1.9 million measurements. Once data
has been recorded with the HOBO UX120 Thermocouple Logger,
it can be easily viewed in graph form and analyzed using Onset's
HOBOware Pro software. (www.onsetcomp.com)
