T&M and Monitoring

Fluke has introduced the Fluke 353 and Fluke 355 true-RMS Clamp Meters for accurate readings up to 2000A in industrial and utility applications, without the need to disconnect equipment. The rugged design and CAT IV 600V/CAT III 1000V safety ratings offer excellent protection in high voltage applications, enabling the checking of new installations, troubleshooting and the taking of accurate measurements on UPS and variable frequency drives with noisy loads.

The evolution of infrared continues. FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras are now highly compact - and getting smaller - and much lighter but no less robust. They are also packed with many more features than their forerunners of just a few years ago. This growth path has given FLIR Systems’ thermal imaging cameras much greater application scope and that trend continues apace.

Infrared is certainly the quickest and easiest method of spotting electrical and mechanical faults. These are prime applications for the FLIR Systems’ ThermaCAM® thermal imaging cameras and there is a model in the range to suit every job and every budget.

Sorion has launched the Rigel VCi3 the latest self contained diagnostics controller. This is a low cost, powerful, yet easy to use tool ideally suited for use in the assembly and diagnostics of automotive vehicles and sub-assemblies.

Adept Scientific plc introduces Northwest Analytical’s Quality Monitor 2.4 complete with factory-floor statistical process control (SPC) software.

At only 17mmdiax 6mm thick is this the smallest really cool data logger? The ACR SmartButton data logger, exclusively distributed by JDL now has an improved specification. It now monitors at lower temperatures. Improvements to the temperature sensor enables the SmartButton data logger to monitor temperatures in the range -40°C to + 85°C with an accuracy of ±1degree.

By installing automatic lubrication systems on its electroplating robots, a coatings company has saved around 45,000 euros over the last three years, by eliminating plant downtime due to insufficient lubrication of linear bearings and guideways.

The PRAXIS partnership between FAG Industrial Services (F’IS) and Corus Northern Engineering Services (CNES) is continuing to add value and prevent costly production downtime in many sectors of UK industry.

Analytical Technology Inc. (ATi) announces that its A15/76 Turbidity Monitor is capable of achieving reliable low-range measurements of turbidity levels in both drinking water and industrial water treatment applications. Turbidity is measured in nearly all water systems and is a general indicator of the optical clarity of water. The A15/76 Turbidity Monitor from ATi is capable of accurately measuring turbidity in clean or waste water. In clean water applications, the unique sensor flowcell eliminates sample degassing for precise and reliable results. In dirty water applications, ATi's Auto-Clean system allows reliable accurate measurement without the need for constant cleaning.

Nikon’s ground-breaking AZ100 Multizoom, which combines the versatility of a stereo with the resolution of a compound microscope, is now available with motorised focus and zoom controls. When combined with Nikon’s Digital Sight series of Control Units, the new AZ100M can be remotely controlled by either a hand or a foot switch. Selecting the latter, leaves the operator with both hands completely free to load samples and move the stage. There is even a Photo Release switch for remote image capture control on Nikon Digital Sight cameras.
