Available with immediate effect are upgrades to the 2.2 and 2.6kW Profi lifter and puller winches in the air powered range of J D Neuhaus handling equipment. All products in this range can now be supplied with the DN control pendants. These incorporate larger diameter hose feeds, capable of utilising the full airline flow and pressure (6 bar), to take advantage of the robust vane motor capacities. An approximate 30% increase in rope speeds can be achieved, without any adjustment required to the recommended load capacities. Where time taken on the lift/lowering procedures represents the major part of a handling process, then appreciable savings can result from higher production efficiencies without any compromise in operating safety.

The Process Filtration Division of Parker Hannifin has launched an integrated LC/MS gas generation system, developed to increase user profitability by eliminating the need for costly and inconvenient gas cylinders. The visually integrated and functionally modular SOURCE-LCMS-5000 produces high purity nitrogen, zero air and exhaust pump gases for all Applied Biosystems – MDS Sciex LC/MS/MS instruments.

Elscint Automation has developed a vibrator bowl feeder for feeding, orienting and stacking of chain links. These chain links are of various sizes and types with two holes in the same. They are stacked in a magazine which consists of two rods which go into the holes in the chain links. This ensures that the chain links do not fall after stacking.
