Safety gate system: Pilz has added the
Psenmlock to its line of safety gate systems.
The Psenmlock offers safety gate monitoring
and safe guard locking for the protection of
personnel. The slim-line yet robust design and
the many different installation options make
Psenmlock both flexible to use and easy to
install, the manufacturer says.
Psenmlock is a reliable door guard for small
and light as well as large and heavy doors and
gates. The flexibly mounted actuator ensures
high tolerance compensation and unrestricted
functionality even with sagging gates. Thanks
to a bistable magnet, the currentless guard
locking system reduces the energy consumption of the safety gate system. Diagnostic
data is easily identifiable in many installation
positions: LEDs on three sides of the housing
support user-friendly diagnostics whatever
the installation situation.
With a holding force of 7,500 Newton (N)
and an integrated latching force of 30 N, the
safety gate system prevents the guard from
opening inadvertently. This makes Psenmlock
particularly suitable for machines with a hazardous overrun that makes guard locking
absolutely essential, such as rotating knives,
flywheels, or robots. In addition, an integrated mechanical restart interlock prevents the
guard locking system from being activated
inadvertently, without the need for separate
accessories. Not only does the restart interlock make operating the machine safer, but
it also prevents an inadvertent restart during
maintenance operations. (Pilz, www.pilz.com/

Evaporative condenser: SPX Cooling
Technologies Inc. has added to its Cube
Evaporative Condenser product line.
Engineered for industrial refrigeration applications that require safe design, installation,
and operation with ammonia and other refrigerants, Cube Evaporative Condensers are
available in both forced draft/blow through
and induced draft/draw through (DTC) models. New DTC models are now available in
8.5-foot nominal widths.
Produced as part of a unique collaboration between SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
and SGS Refrigeration Inc., a manufacturer
of industrial evaporators, Cube Evaporative
Condensers are fabricated and assembled at
U.S. manufacturing plants. Strong galvanized
steel houses high-quality mechanical and heat
transfer systems. Stainless steel component
options allow customization to address the
most demanding environmental and service
life requirements. (SPX Cooling Technologies

Vehicle utilization application: Sustainable composite pallet provider RM2 has
implemented a technology platform focused on its client-side supply chain and
logistics operations. The DAQS application is designed to improve vehicle utilization.
It’s a user-friendly Web-based tool that provides a transparent view of logistics processes as well as visually mapping out supply chain flows.
The DAQS tool is designed to improve logistics efficiency and allows RM2 to
make tactical business decisions that will result in fewer empty running miles. DAQS
architecture was created to exchange data seamlessly with vehicles carrying RM2
pallets via existing technology used by the carrier. (RM2, www.rm2.com)
