AC line regenerative system: Digital
power and motion control systems provider
Magnetek Inc. has added the Impulse R+ to
its high-performance series of AC line regenerative systems.
The new Impulse R+ line regenerative unit
was designed to increase the energy efficiency of overhead cranes. Available with ratings
from five to 400 horsepower, the Impulse R+
connects to a network, via ethernet and a
PLC, to monitor status in real time. The unit is
simple to install and can be easily retrofitted
to replace dynamic braking units and resistors
on existing controls. Wiring and maintenance
generally associated with traditional dynamic
braking resistors is eliminated.
Magnetek’s AC line regenerative units capture surplus regenerative energy from the
motor that would normally be expended
by resistors and return it to the AC power
source, reducing total energy consumption
and creating industry-leading gains in energy
efficiency. Initial investment “payback” can
be realized in as little as one year, the company says. (Magnetek Material Handling, www.

Mezzanine system: Cubic Designs now
offers full stainless steel mezzanine systems.
The company’s manufacturing facility has a
bead blast system and dedicated welding stations that provide proper metal segregation
practices and ensure that stainless projects
have the highest-quality finish.
According to Cubic Designs, it’s the only
company in the industry producing pre-en-gineered, pre-manufactured stainless steel
mezzanines. Stainless products go through
a passivation process on all welds and are
finished using a #8 bead blast process that
provides a platform finish acceptable within
the food and beverage industry.
Round railing is now a standard option for
any Cubic Designs system. As a result of an
investment in a new hydraulic pipe bender,
Cubic Designs’ round railing is made without
bulky and cumbersome connector fittings.
Instead, it’s made in welded panel sections
for a smooth and clean look. (Cubic Designs,
