New on the
MARKET
Product of the Month
Nexa3D, Ventura, CA, announced commercial availability of its highest throughput additive
production system, the QLS 820. With a print speed of up to 8 liters per hour and up to 20 percent
packing density, it is designed for high volume production of thermoplastic components. At the
core of the QLS 820 is the patented Quantum Laser Sintering (QLS) print engine consisting of
four CO2 lasers with a power of 100W each. It features an exchangeable build station that operators
can use for continuous production during the cooldown process. It works with standard materials
such as PA11 and PA12 - direct replacements for injection molding grade materials - and is also compatible with
higher-temperature materials, such as PA6.

Digital Isolator
from
tor
The STISO620 digital isolaSTMicroelectronics,
Geneva,
Switzerland, contains
two channels of the same directionality,
having inputs on one
side of the isolation barrier and
outputs on the other. It provides high noise immunity with up
to 100 Mbit/s switching speed and pulse distortion less than 3
ns. Peak impulse voltage (VIOTM) is 4000 volts, isolation voltage
(VISO) is 2830 Vrms and maximum working isolation voltage
(VIOWM) is 849 Vrms.

Remote I/O Modules
Acromag, Wixom, MI, has released
two new Remote Input/Output (I/O)
modules, the NT2510 and NT2530, as
part of its Busworks® NT Series. These
modules are designed to be a cost-effective
solution for monitoring and controlling
analog and discrete signals in
industrial applications. Eight models
have bidirectional discrete I/O, voltage
or current analog inputs, and optional analog current outputs.
They have field-selectable Modbus TCP/IP or EtherNet/IPTM
communication.
