Help Your VFD's Live Longer!

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 by Holly Lampi

If you have problems with your existing variable-frequency drives (VFDs), MTE 3-phase line/load reactors may be just the solution!  A line reactor acts as a current-limiting device and filters the waveform (the mathematical representation of a wave) and reduces electrical noise and currents associated with the system. You can install reactors in HVAC equipment, pumping equipment, machine tools, elevators, printing presses, UPS equipment, computer mainframes, robotics equipment, ski lifts, wind generators, electric cars, cranes and many other types of equipment to extend the service life of the VFD and motor.

Keep your variable frequency drives running longer! Marshall Wolf Automation is your source for 3-Phase line/load reactors and other AC drive accessories!




 



What is a Capacitive Proximity Sensor?

Friday, August 27, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro

You may have heard of both inductive and capacitive proximity sensors, what is the difference?

Inductive proximity sensors are generally used to sense metal while capacitive proximity sensors will sense metal as well as nonmetallic materials including paper, glass, liquids and cloth.

capacitive proximity sensorsInductive proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field while capacitive proximity sensors produce an electrostatic field.

A common application for capacitive proximity sensors is level detection through a barrier.

Visit our site now for a complete listing of capacitive proximity sensors from all the top manufacturers including Pepperl + Fuchs, Baumer Electric, Carlo Gavazzi Sensors and Autonics.

We are authorized industrial automation distributors for every product on www.WolfAutomation.com!

Great Reasons for Installing a Control Relay In Your Equipment

Friday, August 27, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro
Do you want a user to be informed of abnormal operating conditions? This would allow monitoring relaysthem to take the necessary actions to correct the fault before an expensive breakdown occurs!

Would you like to monitor and detect abnormal electrical or physical values such as voltage, current and phase? Once an abnormality is detected the relay will emit a visible signal and trigger a change in the output contacts.

Is your goal to avoid production shutdowns and keep your lines running smoothly? Our Crouzet line of control relays and monitoring relays will help you do this!

Here is a quick list of common applications for the Crouzet C-Lynx control relays:
  • Supervision of motors - check phase sequence and phase failure
  • Temperature control in lifts - monitor temperatures
  • HVAC - stop the motor in case of faults
  • Pump and level control - manage and protect equipment
  • Load monitoring - monitor overloads  on driving motors and detect jams
  • Speed monitoring - react and alert the operator if machine operating rate is high or low
Marshall Wolf Automation is your industrial automation distributor for the complete line of Crouzet monitoring relays, phase monitors, temperature control products and three phase monitors!

Sonic Boom!

Thursday, August 26, 2010 by Holly Lampi
"Ultrasonic", a fancy word with a fancy meaning, after all it's not just sonic, it's "ultra" sonic! Technically ultrasonic is defined as "of or relating to acoustic frequencies above the range audible to the human ear, or above approximately 20,000 hertz." So what does all this have to do with Marshall Wolf Automation? One word - sensors.

Ultrasonic sensors have set new standards in the world of automation and MWA is an industrial automation distributor for all your sensor requirements including photoelectric systems and ultrasonic range sensors.

Ultrasonic sensors are vital to the market by providing a cost effective, sensing method with unparalled properties not seen in other sensing technologies. By using a wide variety of ultrasonic transducers and several different frequency ranges, an ultrasonic sensor can be designed to solve many application problems that are costly or cannot be solved by other sensors.

We are your source for  Baumer, Carlo Gavazzi and Pepperl & Fuchs ultrasonic sensors - engineers are on staff to assist you!

Phase Monitors, what can they do for you?

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by Amy Becker

 

Phase Monitors are protective devices that can shut the compressor down if there’s a problem with the incoming power.  There are different versions that can sense all or some of the following:

  • Unbalanced voltage
  • High Voltage
  • Low Voltage
  • Loss of a phase
  • Phase reversal

Any one of these problems can cause serious and expensive damage to the compressor. In areas where the quality or consistency of incoming power is questionable, phase monitors are cheap insurance against an expensive failure.

Marshall Wolf Automation has single and 3 phase monitors to protect your equipment. We are authorized industrial supply distributors for Simpson Meters, Carlo Gavazzi Sensors as well a numbers other lines and products. 

Take a look at our website www.wolfautomaion.com and see how we can help to keep your equipment safe.
