ESAB says its Rogue ET 180i and 200iP PRO inverters deliver professional arc performance and full-featured digital controls for TIG and MMA welding. The 200iP PRO has a pulsing feature with frequency adjustable from 0.2 Hz to 500 Hz to control heat input on thin metals, delicate parts and stainless steel. Pulsing also narrows the weld bead profile and increases travel speed. The units weigh less than 10 kg and deliver a maximum TIG output of 180A (180i) and 200A (200iP PRO) at 25% duty cycle. The Rogue 180i connects to 230VAC while the 200iP PRO uses 90 – 270VAC. w | esab.com . ALIAXIS says demonstrating its continued commitment to product development, it is excited to introduce the new PROFIBUS Actuated Valve range, as part of its portfolio of solutions for the industrial and waste water treatment markets. Designed for use with the solution provider’s SuperFlo ABS, FIP PVC, Durapipe Polypropylene and Corzan CPVC industrial pipework systems, the intelligent PROFIBUS Actuated Valves can provide users with greater control and enhanced visibility of the wider system’s performance. Paired with a central programme logic controller (PLC), PROFIBUS allows for up to 250 valves to be controlled via the leading network. This will enable users to operate a network of valves remotely, either individually or in unison, to create patterns and commands for valve operation. The PROFIBUS valve can also feedback to the central PLC on various operating parameters. e | valvesuk@aliaxis.com w | www.aliaxis.co.uk/actuated-valves SENSONICS says it has been working with industry for nearly 40 years, developing effective and affordable monitoring and protection devices including those for smaller items of plant where the need for low-cost sensors which offer direct connection via 4-20mA current loop, is more important than ever. However, matching this type of product to the application is not always straightforward. Sensonics has recognised the need for a sensor which can meet the demands of protecting smaller machinery such as fans and pumps which can be utilised on a wide range of plant with reduced sensitivity to auxiliary systems. The VEL/GDC is an electro dynamic sensor providing a 4-20mA current sink output proportional to velocity vibration and offers the advantage of offering double isolation in conjunction with a low impedance circuit making it suitable for high noise environments. t | 01442 876833 e | sales@sensonics.co.uk w | www.sensonics.co.uk / www.sensonics.co.uk/ resources/datasheets/vibration-transducers/ SKF has unveiled its new entry level asset health system, said to make predictive maintenance accessible for all. SKF Plug and Play allows key data to be quickly measured and assessed, preventing asset downtime. If an alert is triggered, this can be sent directly to the experts for analysis and advice. The SKF Plug and Play package includes an SKF QuickCollect sensor, the downloadable SKF Pulse app, 24 free pulse checks and access to the e-learning platform. The QuickCollect sensor measures velocity, acceleration and temperature, ensuring that the readings are within the pre-set parameters. Results are displayed on the app which can be downloaded to most iOS or Android smartphones or tablets.
