The company has launched its new air test stand to conduct quality airflow calibrations on gas meters. The system includes a set of seven sonic nozzles arranged in a common manifold. Each nozzle has its own control valve allowing a quick connection to the calibration manifold. In a system with constant upstream pressure, sonic nozzles are a constant volumetric flow meter, but with regulated pressure supply, the sonic nozzle becomes a gas flow regulator. The test stand can therefore dial in a flow rate by setting the inlet pressure to the nozzle. They have no moving parts and offer long term accuracy and repeatability. They also create a shock wave at the throat of the nozzle. Once this shock wave exists at a fixed flow rate, downstream fluctuations cannot propagate upstream. With a set of calibration target points, the software controls a pressure regulator, which sets the flow rate, and monitors inlet temperature and pressure to the nozzle that determines actual flow rate. This error is used to calculate a correction factor that can be downloaded to the meter in real time. After calibration, the software creates a detailed calibration certificate that is supplied to the customer The combination of sonic nozzles, manifolds, and the customized software provides a test stand that is highly accurate over a wide flow range while maintaining ease of use. With the new Easy-2-Combine configurator from Rexroth, users can calculate and display entire handling modules online quickly and precisely The configurator can quickly and easily compile a handling module a pick-and-place unit, for example — without any extra calculation work. As an added benefit, the configurator also provides complete documentation including CAD data for the user The tool is easy to use and can be accessed by anyone over the Internet. Before configuring a module, users must enter information required for design: the working space and work piece weight as well as whether or not rotary movements are necessary. After choosing the type of installation, users are presented with further parameters such as the rotation angle or the maximum time per movement. Using this data, the system works out the components while taking the mass moments of inertia into account This tool saves users much of their time usually spent on complicated calculations. Users can select from a variety of gripper versions, rotary compact modules, and linear axes. Once specific parameters have been entered — the necessary stroke, for instance — the system determines all components that are compatible with one another and which optimally meet all the requirements At the end of the process, a complete parts list is generated which even spans cylinder switches and fittings. Additionally, the user is given a material number which can designate the handling module as either a kit with mounting parts or as a preassembled unit, depending on customer request.

This new feed-through unit will prevent twisted or broken cables connecting the end-effectors Electric sensors and actuators that are connected to the rotational axis are difficult to connect. The necessary cables must either be routed to the side, in order to compensate for the rotation, or they must be fed centrally through the axis. The advantage of the latter is that the cable is only twisted, but its position is not changed. However, this route is difficult because space inside the axis is mostly very restricted With the new electric rotary feed-through, EDF-SRU, SCHUNK now offers a complete, ready-to-connect solution for the SRU rotary actuator. It enables digital signals to be conveyed to sensors, and power to be supplied to digitally operated actuators. Using a jumper, the EDF-SRU can be reconfigured to Bus operation very rapidly by routing the power supply and the Bus signal e. CAN, ProfiBus or DeviceNet via the feed-through Connection is quick and uncomplicated, as the input and output ends of the EDF-SRU are equipped with housing connectors or sockets. In the event of a pressure drop or total loss of pressure, this unique valve maintains cylinder position by locking air on both sides of the cylinder. A single air pilot signal can exhaust trapped air to atmosphere.

Standard features include push to connect fittings and threaded vacuum ports at both ends Contact Anver Miniature Two-stage Diaphragm Pressure Regulator with Threads Beswick Engineering designs and manufactures high-performance miniature fluid power devices Beswick introduces a new two-stage non-relieving diaphragm regulator PRD3—ANB-C-DEF. The new PRD3 pressure regulator is the third generation of our award winning PRD series of regulators. It improves upon the Beswick original two stage diaphragm regulator PRD2 by incorporating larger ports for higher flow and easier integration into systems. It is roughly the size of 10 quarters stacked on top of each other. It weighs approximately 23 grams in aluminum and 50 grams in brass and stainless steel. Normally small regulators are subject to droop and rise of the output pressure setting with wide swings in input pressure however the PRD3 regulator maintains a constant output pressure despite input pressure swings The PRD3 has three major characteristics that make it innovative and high performance. The device features a low-friction sensor and a proprietary valve arrangement to achieve excellent regulation. An innovative spring arrangement gives this regulator the capability of handling a range of regulated output pressures while maintaining a very small envelope. The stages of the regulator are "nested," keeping the regulator on a very miniature scale. The superior performance of the PRD3 makes it a perfect choice for applications with varying input pressures, such as with a gas storage tank where the pressure decreases as the gas is consumed. It allows other new and more innovative products to be made into a small envelop. Such products can be found in Portable Fuel Cells, UAV Aircraft, Instrumentation Equipment, and other applications where size and weight are critical Applications include: Instrumentation Devices, Portable Fuel Cells, UAV Aircraft, Portable Medical Equipment, Miniature Jet Engines, Toxic Gas Detection, Ink Jet Print Engines, Pharmaceutical Machinery and many more For more information, please contact Mike Donati Beswick Engineering Co. As with all magnetostrictive sensors, the D-Series requires no recalibration after initial installation and eliminates wear, noise, and erroneous signal problems. These sensors are designed for original equipment manufacturers that need a durable, low-cost sensor in injection molding machines and related plastic machinery Each D-Series sensor is equipped with a waveguide sensing element, conditioning electronics for output position data, a protective IP 67 rated application housing that accommodates the complete modular electronic interface with active signal conditioning. The sensor can be easily mounted to machine surfaces with adjustable mounting clamps. Electronic connections are accomplished using the industry standard 4 pole socket DIN connectors. This avoids the dreaded whiplash effect — the massive backlash of pressurized hoses. The system meets the requirements of ISO and has already proven its effectiveness with smaller nominal diameters. A further plus for the practical single-handed coupling is the resistant plastic sleeve. During one of these events, the vacuum-command signal is lost, but the system can detect the presence of a part and continue to maintain the vacuum state. Additionally, if the system detects that a vacuum state is not present, the vacuum state will not continue and will close to eliminate and unnecessary air consumption Air economizing features are controlled by the sensor outputs to minimize air consumption during normal operations.

The five sizes have a range gripping forces from 50 lbs. This saves an extra step as well as the expense of another axis of movement. The toggle mechanism greatly increases in power as the jaws near the fully closed position and become self-locking when past parallel. The internal linkages are guided by two groves that run the length of the body. This will keeps the tooling jaws from loosing the center repeatability. Close attention must be made to the tooling jaws when designing them. Because the jaws swing an arc, the mechanism produces higher velocity at the end of your tooling during the stroke. Therefore, tooling jaws should be short, lightweight as possible, and flow controls are recommended. In cases where longer jaws are needed, bumpers or miniature hydraulic shocks should be used to decelerate the jaw at the end of the stroke.
