n Fume Hoods
Fume hoods from
HEMCO, Independence,
MO, are offered in 24,
30, 36, and 48 in. wide
models. The EcoFlow
fume hood size makes it
ideal for additional hood
space
applications. Because
of the reduced
size, this hood requires less exhaust air to be
drawn from the lab. A fully adjustable sliding
sash is made of 3/16 in. thick shatterproof Plexiglas
and is fully adjustable to allow easy access
into the fume chamber. Easy-Touch operation
allows for precise positioning. A full selection
of accessories and components including
work surfaces, base cabinets, plumbing and
electrical services are available.

n Coin Cell Holders
A lithium coin
cell holder for maximizing
PC board
capacity when installing
high capacity
2477 lithium coin
cells in high-density
applications is now
available from Keystone
Electronics,
New Hyde Park, NY. The sturdy holder is supplied
in a thru-hole version and is extremely
rugged, making it ideal for retaining the
larger 2477 cells securely in severe shock and
vibration environments. Manufactured with
nickel-plated phosphor bronze contacts in a
PBT, UL rated 94V-0 base, it is ideal for circuit
back-up power and will accept all major
manufacturers' batteries

n Precision Grinder
A precision grinder from ANCA, Melbourne, Australia, is designed
for producing tools such as ballnose, corner radius endmills, and complex
or intricate profile tools. The FX7 ULTRA includes a one-nanometer
control system, a servo control algorithm for smooth motion,
system and mechanical upgrades to enhance stiffness and rigidity, and
in-process measuring, balancing, and runout compensation for consistent
accuracy. The unit, which can grind down to a size as small as 0.1
mm, includes the company's patented Motor Temperature Control.
The nanometer control enables micro-adjustments for smoother axis
movement, resulting in optimal tool geometry.

n ERP Software
Cetec ERP, Austin, TX, has introduced a new scheduling
feature that allows users to estimate static buffer time occurring
before or after work is completed at a given work location.
This single step will drive a scheduled entry for the work
order without impacting labor time, estimates, or cost. The
new field, called Buffer, can be managed in two ways: Defaults
can be set from a table in the Data Maintenance page named " OrdlineStatus, " or they can be
set manually/overridden in a part's labor plan or order specific labor plan. Previously, modeling
a traveler/router's schedule to include a " buffer " period occurring before or after work
was completed at a work location took several steps.

n Simulation Software
COMSOL, Burlington, MA, has added data-driven surrogate
model functionality to its simulation software for efficient
standalone simulation apps and multiphysics-based digital
twins. COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.2 also features
high-performance multiphysics solvers for the analysis of electric
motors, up to 40 percent faster turbulent CFD simulations,
and an order of magnitude faster impulse response calculations for room and cabin acoustics.
Additionally, it is now up to seven times faster to perform boundary element analysis (BEM)
for acoustics and electromagnetics when running on clusters. The latest software version also
introduces the ability to make simulation apps with automated updates through timer events.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
EPOXY RESISTS
REPEATED
STERILIZATION
Master Bond EP41S-5Med
is a two-part epoxy that
meets the requirements of
ISO 10993-5 for non-cytotoxicity and can be used for
bonding, sealing, and coating in medical devices. It
has been successfully tested against many sterilization
methods, such as autoclaving, STERRAD®, Cidex®
and Steris®, resisting a hundred cycles.

n Linear Servo Motor
A linear servo motor from Moticont, Van Nuys, CA, combines high
precision and high force in an easily integrated package. The GVCM095-064-01
linear voice coil servo actuator, also called a moving coil
motor, features zero cogging, high speed, high acceleration/deceleration,
and high precision accuracy and repeatability when operated in
a closed servo loop. The precision ground 0.1572 ± 0.0003 in. (3.993
± 0.008 mm) diameter shaft guided by a linear bearing in the extended
position is 2.500 in. (63.5 mm) long. It can tolerate a side load to 2 lbs. (9.0 N) and has 1.500
in. (38.1 mm) of travel with a high-force-to-size ratio of 24.4 lbs. (108.6 N) of continuous force
and 77.1 lbs. (343 N) of peak force at a 10% duty cycle.

n QA Software
Master Control, Salt Lake City, UT, has released quality management
software that allows users flexibility to configure processes,
build forms and, capture data around their quality events. The
Quality Event Management (QEM) platform is a cloud-native, nocode
solution allowing life science quality managers to completely
own and iterate on their quality process. The no-code functionality
means users can easily modify workflows as processes or regulations change. Additionally, the
software has embedded, automated validation testing with patented Validation on Demand to
ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
