IDEC
called Distamat, enables a predefined
roller gap to be precisely maintained
for optimum production results.
The constant gap between the pan
grinder roller and the die is essential
for pellet quality and stable operation.
The system not only increases the
pellet quality, but also offers a high
degree of automation, which results
in less maintenance work during operation.

Improved HMI tablet usability for
industrial applications

The HT4P Safety Commander (photo)
is an ergonomic device enabling
users to securely hold and protect a
human-machine interface (HMI) tablet,
while providing power, networking
and hardwired emergency stop
(e-stop) and other operator interface
devices. OEMs and automation designers
can now provide flexible and
safety-rated operator interface options
for equipment, robotics, collaborative
robots, automated guided
vehicles, autonomous mobile robots
and other manufacturing system applications.
The HT4P can now hold
tablets ranging from 10 to 13 in.
using adjustable grippers, so users
can take advantage of more display
area and greater CPU processing
speeds. The HT4P Safety Commander
accepts more device sizes than
ever before, and it adds networking
and operator interface options for
using modern tablet interfaces with
industrial equipment. - IDEC Corp.,

Electronic pressure switch for
hygienic applications
The PSD-4 electronic pressure switch
(photo) is a universal solution for industrial
automation tasks. Thanks
to EHEDG and 3-A certification, the
pressure switch is also suitable for
industries with high hygienic requirements.
Due to an accuracy of less
than ±0.5% and minimal long-term
drift, it permanently ensures an accurate
representation of the process
pressure for more than 100 million
load cycles. The pressure switch is
available with a digital output signal,
as well as a switchable and scalable

A next-generation of PES in-out
ultrafiltration membranes
The first polymeric ultrafiltration (UF)
membrane with a completely new
geometry since the seven-capillary
Multibore debuted over two decades
ago, Multibore PRO (photo) combines
19 bores within a single fiber
to enable users to realize both performance
and sustainability benefits
through the increased surface area
and reduced installation area for
a given flowrate target. With more
than double the capillaries, this increased
membrane-filtration surface
area per module means fewer
modules are required in water treatment
installations to achieve higher
productivity and efficiencies, driving
value for operational expenses. UF
modules equipped with Multibore
PRO membranes can achieve floor
footprint savings of up to 15% per
rack, while also reducing both capital
expenditures due to reduced rack
components and assembly costs. -

Work glove coating for amplified
grip in multiple environments
The new VersaTek glove coating
(photo) is an intelligent and durable
technology that adapts to almost any
environment so workers can get their
job done without having to sacrifice
safety, comfort, grip or dexterity. Engineered
stabilizers allow this intelligent
coating technology to read the
environment and adapt to amplify the
worker's grip when working in wet,
dry, slick, abrasive or oily conditions.
VersaTek is designed for maximum
comfort and flexibility so workers can
maintain natural hand movements
and precision when handling small
parts. Plus, this coating delivers over
50% more abrasion resistance than
other glove coatings against materials
such as sandy nitrile or foam nitrile. -
