Increased governmental and societal focus on emissions mean that industry is under ever greater pressure to increase the agility and reliability of emissions monitoring in real-time. ABB says its Datalyzer is designed to help customers respond to this challenge. The company says the comprehensive, cloud-based modular application provides real-time status across a fleet of analysers and plants and in doing so, it lowers ownership cost and reduces capital expenditure. Datalyzer collects data from emissions monitoring analysers which is then routed to an on-site Edge device (Micro PC). The Edge device sends the relevant information up to Datalyzer which sits in the Microsoft Azure cloud. The application analyses the data received transforming it into a concrete information for decision-making. The end user receives the information from Datalyzer across three different dashboard views. w | www.abb.com Making the shift towards predictive maintenance Maintenance Matters High performance Hole Saws range Autumn is here - Time to reflect ESAB says its Robust Feed U82 wire feeder includes a full suite of advanced process control functions that help users increase competitiveness through consistent weld quality and appearance, address workforce skill issues, improve productivity and reduce operating costs. The feeder accepts 200- and 300-mm wire spools and is designed to work with ESAB’s Aristo 500ix and Aristo Mig 4004i Pulse power sources for MIG/MAG, pulsed MIG, flux cored, TIG welding and carbon arc gouging. The company says the Robust Feed U82 combines the extreme durability of a portable, enclosed feeder and the precision and control of a shop-style feeder and its PreciDrive wire drive system delivers better arc starts and stops without backlash or play in the gears. Large diameter (38 mm) drive rolls offer more gripping area and provide more pushing force without deforming soft cored and aluminium wires. w | esab.com Wire feeder offers unmatched combination HH Accreditation Metrel warehouse manager, Alex Biddiscombe can fulfil multi-function testers on next-day delivery
