Eyesight is precious, so protect it with LASER COMPONENTS‘ laser safety eyewear. The company can quickly assess the protection level required and match this to one of over 150 standard filters. It supplies both absorbing filters in plastic and glass as well as coated reflecting filters for high power use.

The researchers, from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute and Konkuk University in the Republic of Korea, coated cotton and polyester yarn with an analogue called Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The yarns were then wrapped in graphene oxide sheets. Graphene is an incredibly strong one-atom-thick layer of carbon and is known for its excellent conductive properties of heat and electricity.

A broad selection of MAPA Professionnel industrial gloves for handling and cut protection, featuring “Grip and Proof” Technology that gives superior user safety and dexterity has been introduced by RS Components.  Grip and Proof provides an answer to the fact that 90% of professional skin complaints are eczema or dermatitis caused by irritation or allergies.

Major construction sites are tending to become very congested - in efforts to better exploit the available building space and speed project times. The workhorse tower crane is critical to the efficiency of such sites, and crane operators today often have to work in very complex 3D space envelopes with many potential collision zones.

ADIPEC, Abu Dhabi, is a premier global show for the oil and gas industry and certainly the most important platform in the Middle East. E2S Warning Signals, the UK based independent audible and visual warning device manufacturer, has exhibited at the show for many years. At this year event on Stand 8320 in the UK Pavilion E2S is launching two brand new families of alarm horn sounders and light strobes and introducing two ranges launched earlier in 2015. The stand focuses on explosion proof and intrinsically safe warning signals developed to meet the challenging needs of the offshore and onshore oil and gas industry.

Ogden Safety Systems Ltd design and manufacture radar based collision avoidance systems for on and off-highway vehicles that range from refuse collection trucks to heavy-duty wheeled quarry and mining equipment. Characterised by the elimination of unwanted alarms, these console-controlled programmable devices utilise Ogden’s continuous wave multi beam radar that allows on-site set-up that exactly suits the application – essentially maintaining a precise detection zone with three individual but connected areas that are monitored and, via a CANbus networked machine interface, trigger various warnings and alarms such as the switching the vehicles’ reversing camera for the first stage to applying the brakes for the third stage.

  E2S Warning Signals has announced the ‘D1x’ range of alarm horns, loudspeakers and integrated alarm horn/Xenon strobe warning units. The ‘D1x’ employs the latest electronic technology and acoustic engineering, in robust, marine grade, LM6 aluminium enclosures.
