Baumer Laser Sensor News

Thursday, August 18, 2011 by David Sheets
Baumer has expanded its portfolio of distance measuring sensors with the OADM 260 laser distance sensor.  The new time of flight technology sensor measures distances up to 13 meters.  With its compact housing it is one of the smallest and at the same time most powerful sensors on the market.

OADM260

Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Baumer Electric distributor.

The OADM 260 laser distance sensor is especially suited for path measurements in large-format machines, i.e. in wood, metal, or paper processing, or in hydraulic lifts and raised platforms.  The repeat accuracy (+/- 5mm), linearity (+/- 20mm) and short measuring repetition rate 0f 10 ms allow precise measurements even on moving objects. 

The compact design of the sensor facilitates its integration into the application.  The measuring range of the OADM can be adjusted via a teach-in button or the connector cable.  The robust metal housing, the washable glass pane, and protection class IP 67 guarantee a high durability, even in harsh industrial applications.

Please visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com and view our vast product offering.  In addition to Baumer Electric, we offer AC Tech Lenze and Teco drives, Bonfiglioli USA gearboxes and Euchner switches, just to name a few.

Variable Frequency Drives and Generators

Wednesday, August 3, 2011 by Scott Welch
An email repsonse from: scott@wolfautomation.com

I received the following from technical support at AC Tech Lenze. He is looking at this as a backup generator that would turn on and off in certain circumstances. In your case this is our permanent power supply. Being that we do not sell generators I do not have a very good background in that area. By looking at the information below the main concern seems to be the phase to phase control coming from the generator. If the generator manufacturer can give you more detailed information on the output of the generator itself you would have to make sure we are getting what we need to maintain a smooth running AC drive/motor combination.

Although switching from line power to a backup generator is an accepted practice in many applications, there are some limitations you should be aware of pertaining to our Variable Frequency Drives. Many portable backup generators have a larger voltage swing on their phase to phase voltage input than our recommended phase to phase voltage tolerance which must be less than 2%. Although our AC Drives are equipped with surge guards in the input rectifier circuit, it may be necessary to use external protection for severe input disturbances such as surge arrestors. Larger variances cause greater ripple on the DC bus caps and this will damage them and other power components over time. Our drives need a minimum of 2 minutes between cycling of power. Otherwise it can damage the charge relay circuit or at the very least will blow the input fuses or trip the circuit breaker.

In cases where input power has “moderate” spikes in voltage which causes current surges, a 3% line reactor may help the situation.

Another solution is to add a voltage monitor with a suitable time delay. It has a protection trip level that shuts down in cases of under-voltage, over-voltage, a loss of phase and voltage imbalance between phases. This device ensures that our VFD will not see unbalanced input power or never be powered up until these other voltage tolerances and proper delay times are met.

Protect your people and equipment with ASO SKL Safety Contact Edge!


aso logo
aso

Safety contact edges are employed to guard closing edges at possible crushing or shearing points.  They are used in gates, machine and handling facilities to protect people and equipment.  They consist of an aluminum support profile, the contactor profile and the safety contact edge.  The special shape of the EPDM or NBR rubber profiles protects the inside safety contact edge in the best possible way from damage and allows actuating angles to exceed 90°.

The SKL profiles are constructed according to the one chamber principle into which the contact surfaces have been extruded.  Adhesive film or a special mounting on the side facilitate the installation.

ASO products are available from Euchner through Marshall Wolf Automation.

Marshall Wolf Automation wants to be your full-line industrial automation distributor.

Please visit our website www.wolfautomation.com.  Marshall Wolf Automation distributes
products for nationally known manufacturers such as KEBCO, Ac Tech Lenze, Leuze electronics, Pepperl & Fuchs, just to name a few.
