47 www.drivesncontrols.com February 2025 NEW PRODUCTS n Yokogawa has released a highperformance power analyser designed to enhance complex power measurements such as e ciency and harmonic analyses. The WT1800R analyser combines high and low current input elements, supported by a power supply for a current sensor, to verify the e ciency and power consumption of a wide range of applications. Users can combine the measurements with results from other instruments to perform eld-oriented control measurement on motors and drives. Yokogawa claims that the instrument is the only one in its class to guarantee a power accuracy of 0.05% of reading, plus 0.05% of range. It is capable of harmonics analyses up to the 500th order of a 50/60Hz fundamental frequency. The basic power (AC measurement) accuracy is 1–110% of the selected voltage and current range, which equates to voltages from 15mV to 1.1kVrms and currents from 0.1mA to 5.5Arms (for a 5A input element) and 10mA to 55Arms (for a 50A input element). Yokogawa Test & Measurement https://tmi.yokogawa.com/eu Micro-Epsilon has announced a non-contact laser distance sensor that can measure distances of up to 150m with an accuracy of <±1mm. The optoNCDT ILR 3800-100 measures accurately on di cult surfaces such as dark, structured or weakly re–ecting objects. Without any adaptations to the target, the sensor has a range of up to 100m. Adding a re–ector to the target extends the range to 150m. Additional modes are available to tune the device to specic applications. The sensor provides a repeatability of <300µm, a resolution of 0.1mm, and a linearity of <±1mm, resulting in stable measurements. Its small footprint (102 x 53 x 50mm) and low weight (254g) represent a 65% reduction in size and weight compared to its predecessor, the ILR2250-100. A mounting plate ensures easy changeover to the new model, while an adaptor can convert from the previous M16 connector to the M12 connectors used on the new model. The sensor provides a continuous measurement output via a 16-bit, scalable 420mA analogue output, or via an RS-422 serial port. Support for IO-Link, EtherCat, Pronet and Ethernet/IP is planned. Micro-Epsilon 0151 355 6070 www.micro-epsilon.co.uk Beckhoƒ’s MP8620 supply module and the AMP8805 distribution module are now available with an extended voltage range for the AMP8000 distributed servodrive system. There is also an extra option for controlling the holding brake for the distributed servodrives. The AMP8620-2005-0x10 supply module is suitable for 120-240V AC and up to 8A DC link output current, or 200480V AC and up to 20A DC link output current. The AMP8805-10100000 distribution module now oƒers an input range of 155-848V DC. The distributed servodrives have a holding brake and an M8 connection for manual control, allowing the brake to be controlled during installation or servicing, if this cannot be done by a main controller. www.beckho .com Power analyser performs complex measurements Phoenix Contact says that its new M12 distributor boxes, with push-pull fast-locking, set a new standard in automation technology, cutting installation times by up to 80% compared to screw connections. Master cables and M12 connectors are connected securely by plugging directly into the boxes with toolfree installation. This ensures simple, secure cabling that saves time. The fast-locking is standardised in accordance with IEC 61076-2-010. The duo contour of the M12 thread enables the connection of M12 screw connectors or M12 pushpull connectors. The range includes plastic boxes with four, six and eight ports for single or double occupancy, with or without LEDs. The portfolio includes versions with preassembled master cable connections, M23 plug-in connections, or plug-in hood connections for self-assembly. With snap-in locking, the connector hood is mounted on the header without any screws. Locking clips ensure a secure hold. If needed, the connector hood can be released without tools. Master cable conductor connections are also achieved without tools, using PCB terminal blocks with a push-in technology. The distributor boxes are shock- and vibrationresistant and o¤er IP65 and IP67 protection. Phoenix Contact 01952 681700 www.phoenixcontact.co.uk Emis has announced the availability of a high-current three-phase EMI lter for highpower applications, that blocks unwanted electrical noise which can a¤ect the performance of sensitive equipment and degrade components. The TMF3333 lter is designed to handle maximum expected currents without overheating or causing excessive voltage drops. The chassis-mounting lters with busbar connecting terminals have current ratings from 150– 2,500A and operating voltages of 520/760V AC at 50/60Hz. They o¤er attenuation across the frequency range including both common-mode and di¤erentialmode noise. The lters have been designed for low thermal resistance and use materials that can handle high temperatures. Typical applications include three-phase servodrives and power supplies, wind turbines, and energy conversion devices such as inverters and frequency converters.
