Turck's new monitor checks
temperature and humidity
A
t the Hannover Messe in April, Turck will
be showing an entirely new device
class: the IMX12-CCM (Cabinet Condition
Monitoring) cabinet guard. The new device
appeared in prototype form at Achema last
Tiny turbopump is a big performer
The HiPace 30 is the smallest high-performance turbopump
on the market, says Pfeiffer Vacuum
feiffer Vacuum has introduced the
new and powerful HiPace 30, the only
turbopump on the market in its size class
offering pumping speeds of 32 l/s. Its small
installation footprint and low level of vibration
make this pump particularly suitable
for integration into compact analytical systems
such as benchtop mass spectrometers,
small electron microscopes and leak
detectors. Weighing as little as 2 kg overall,
the HiPace 30 is also ideal for mobile
applications.

The sophisticated rotor design of the
Turck's new IMX12-CCM cabinet guard
detects creeping changes in the physical
environment of the control cabinet
year, and will be available ex stock from the
beginning of the Hannover Messe.
Installed in a control cabinet or protective
housing, the CCM continuously
monitors the actual degree of protection
provided by the enclosure. Whenever the
temperature and interior humidity fall outside
preset limits, or the cabinet doors are
not properly closed, the device alerts the
control system via a simple switch signal.
The rail-mounted 12-mm wide IMX12CCM
comes with an intrinsically safe 2-wire
isolating transducer interface, thus enabling
it to be used in hazardous areas. The simple
teach-in process can be carried out directly
on the device without the need for a computer
or any additional tools. A standard
HART interface provides additional diagnostic
options such as reading out the absolute
measured values.
Turck's control cabinet guard monitors
the environment via three sensors: a
temperature sensor, an absolute humidity
sensor, and a triangulation sensor. This
last sensor measures the distance to the
enclosure cover or cabinet door, and thus
monitors correct closing. To detect humidity
problems, the IMX12-CCM monitors longterm
trends and compares them with the
safe condition it has been taught.

HiPace 30 achieves high gas throughputs
and very good compression of light gases.
This ensures the low residual gas background
that is desirable for mass spectrometry
applications, Pfeiffer Vacuum says.
The HiPace 30 is designed with a socalled
hybrid bearing. This combination
of ceramic ball bearings on the backing
vacuum side and permanent-magnet radial
bearings on the high-vacuum side makes
for a particularly sturdy bearing design. The
pumps therefore have a long life, with a
maintenance interval of around four years.
Founded in 1890, Pfeiffer Vacuum invented
the turbopump and today employs
around 2,250 people. The company offers
a full range of hybrid and magnetically levitated
turbopumps, backing pumps, leak detectors,
measurement and analysis devices,
vacuum chambers and systems.

Ultrasonic flowmeter sets standards
FLEXIM presents a new generation of clamp-on ultrasonic
flowmeters: the FLUXUS F/G 721
W
ith its new hardware design and improved,
powerful digital signal, the
FLUXUS F/G721 sets standards in accuracy,
reliability and versatility, says FLEXIM.
It offers non-intrusive flow measurement
of virtually any kind of liquid or gas, from
the smallest tubing to the largest penstock,
independent of pressure and over a very
large temperature range.
Sophisticated signal filters and substantially
improved measurement algorithms,
together with the proven transducer technology
and sturdy mountings, make the
FLUXUS F/G721 a state-of-the-art measuring
solution even for the most challenging
applications, such as liquids with entrained
gas or solids, or wet gas. The meter adapts
itself automatically to the measurement
conditions and compensates for perturbations.
Extremely fast measurement cycles
allow for precise real-time monitoring of dynamic
processes. Independent calibration
of transmitters and transducers aids accuracy
under real plant conditions.
The FLUXUS F/G721 comes with all common
digital communication protocols, including
Ethernet, for bidirectional field
communication, parameterization and online
diagnostics. It can also be parameterized
via USB. Explosion-proof versions for
hazardous areas are available.
