                    <description><![CDATA[Balluff sensors and systems in the new stainless steel line meet all the specifications and guidelines for the pharmaceutical and foods industry. Optimized for extreme environments, resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, Ecolab certified, tightly sealed (IP 67, IP 68 and IP 69K) and temperature rated to 120°, they guarantee long service life and process reliability. Precisely matched fastening and connection techniques using stainless steel and IP 69K round out the comprehensive product line. This all makes Balluff stainless steel product groups the first choice for hygienic processes in the foods and pharmaceutical industry. A complete line of sensors based on various physical operating principles is available.

Regardless of whether users choose BOS photoelectric sensors, BMF magnetic field sensors or the inductive versions of the product range, they always get components which meet all the specifications of the foods and pharmaceutical industry. The same is true of the BCS capacitive and BUS ultrasonic sensors. These are the first choice for level monitoring. In additional to traditional cylindrical housing styles, block-style and flat disc types made of chemically resistant materials are available for the greatest possible range of applications.

The new, FEA3A certified Micropulse transducers with FDA conformal housing design set new standards in product-contacting application, such as level monitoring of fruit juices, milk or beer in bottling equipment. HALT tested, the stainless steel versions offer the highest degree of functional reliability over years.

BIS inductive RFID systems are ideally suited for use in process technology or the foods industry. Since they can read the information even through stainless steel panels or covers, they are the perfect choice when there are strict requirements with respect to data integrity.]]></description>

                    <link><![CDATA[http://news.directindustry.com/press/gerstel/automated-dynamic-headspace-dhs-34398-335697.html]]></link>
                    <guid><![CDATA[http://news.directindustry.com/press/gerstel/automated-dynamic-headspace-dhs-34398-335697.html]]></guid>
                    <description><![CDATA[An automated Dynamic Headspace (DHS) Option is available for the GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler (MPS). A DHS station in the MPS is used to efficiently extract and concentrate VOCs from up to 196 liquid or solid samples placed in standard Headspace vials. 
The DHS station provides thermostating and agitation as well as purging of the sample headspace with a controlled flow of inert gas. Sample temperatures can be selected from 200 °C to as low as 10 °C, enabling control of the amount of water vapour released and ultimately retrapped. 
The DHS station additionally holds a replaceable adsorbent- or sorbent filled tube used for analyte concentration. The temperature of the adsorbent tube during the DHS process can be varied from 20 °C to 70 °C for optimal trapping of the analytes in question. 
Adsorbent tubes used are standard GERSTEL Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU) tubes. Following analyte concentration, the tube is automatically transferred to the TDU for Thermal Desorption and analyte transfer to the GC. Tubes are fitted with individual adapters enabling both automated movement and leak-free sealing during the DHS and Thermal Desorption steps and during storage in the autosampler tray.
Automated DHS combined with sample introduction to a GC or GC/MS system is performed by the MPS and TDU. Up to 98 samples can be processed automatically in one sequence.
Automated liquid handling in the MPS can be used for additional sample prep steps. As part of the sample prep procedure, standard addition can be performed automatically for best possible analytical results. 
Parallel processing of samples enable the DHS process to be performed during the chromatographic run of the preceding sample for optimal productivity and for highest system utilization.
Sample prep steps are selected by mouse-click from a pull-down menu using the PrepBuilder function of the GERSTEL MAESTRO software. A graphical scheduler display for the DHS process provides an overview of the time required for each individual step and for the complete sequence of samples for easier planning. 
Just one method and one sequence table controls the complete process from DHS through sample prep and sample introduction to GC/MS analysis. Integrated control ensures a more efficient operation with less risk of error. The GERSTEL MAESTRO Software operates stand-alone or fully integrated with the Agilent Technologies ChemStation or with MassHunter Software.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[LXE Inc. has extended its industryleading line of vehicle-mount computing solutions with the new VX8 and VX9 rugged mobile computers. The VX8 and VX9 computers are rugged, wirelessly enabled Windows XP-based mobile PC's with 10.4&#8221; and 12.1&#8221; touch-screen displays that are designed for vehicle-mounted use in tough environments.
&#8220;With these new Windows XP vehicle-mounted computers, LXE offers a broad product line to meet customers' specific rugged computing requirements. The VX8 and VX9 enable
organisations to run more advanced applications, but still leverage existing computer support resources. That, combined with LXE's industry-leading customer service and support network,
can equate to greater cost savings, flexibility and reliability.&#8221; Recent LXE customer research has revealed that a greater number of customers now have a preference for Windows XP over Windows CE as the operating system platform for vehiclemount computers. The growing interest in Windows XP among LXE's current customer base was attributed to several factors, including the ability of the operating system to handle a wider range of mobile applications and to simplify network administration. &#8220;As warehouses and port facilities become more operationally complex, so too is the information required by employees at the point of interaction or activity,&#8221; said David Krebs, mobile & wireless director, VDC Research. &#8220;To support more advanced data collection and communication applications, VDC is seeing increased demand for vehicle mounted computers supported by a full OS &#8211; such as XP &#8211; in these environments. Moreover, additional benefits in the form of cost savings are expected as organisations adopt a single OS platform strategy.&#8221; The compact VX8 computer is ideal for applications where users need high-performance computing in a small package. The slim-line VX9 computer, which is available with an XGA display option, is targeted at users that need a larger screen area. Available with WWAN, WLAN and Bluetooth radios, both the VX8 and VX9 computers are suitable for a range of vehicle-mounted applications in challenging deployment environments, including those on forklift trucks, container handling machinery, forestry and construction equipment, and emergency service vehicles.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Pilz GmbH and Co. KG, based in Ostfildern, is to be the exclusive supplier of decentralised I/O periphery with protection type IP20 to automotive manufacturer BMW, with immediate effect. In future, the automotive group will use the PSSuniversal decentralised I/O system worldwide. A prerequisite was the development of a new head module with Profinet interface, which was achieved in close co-operation with BMW. This was a convincing control solution from both a technical and an economic point of view.  
Thanks to the customised, certified Profinet interface, the decentralised I/O system PSSuniversal can be integrated seamlessly and safely into existing or new plant structures. Under the scope of AIDA (Automation Initiative of German Domestic Automobile Manufacturers), German automotive manufacturers have opted to use Profinet as a standardised communication medium, but AIDA has also stated that competition needs to be guaranteed where the connected control solution is concerned.
The decision in favour of Pilz was preceded by a comprehensive evaluation of the market and all available products by experts from BMW. In addition to its openness towards Profinet, other criteria included the system's cost-effectiveness plus the ability to link standard control functions and safety functions. Intense co-operation and continual co-ordination with BMW during the two-year development period paved the way for the launch of a user-friendly system which meets the exact requirements.
The integrated safety principle of the PSSuniversal represents a key distinguishing feature in comparison with existing solutions.

On the control system, the head module alone represents the safety-related subscribers, so that users only need to make the necessary settings at this central point. There is no need to assign awkward sub-addresses. Consequently all safety-related addresses on the Profinet Master can be put to optimum use.
Not only does this reduce the administrative work in assigning safe address ranges, it also reduces costs, as less hardware is needed because the safety technology is concentrated exclusively in the head module.
Initial projects with the decentralised I/O system Pilz PSSuniversal with Profinet connection will be implemented in BMW's plants in Regensburg, Munich and Leipzig.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Spray treatment: This process is based on the synergy among chemical &#8211; physics action of the solution of process and the strong impact of the liquid in pressure on the pieces to be treated.
The nozzles convey the liquid of process in order to reach uniformly the whole surface to be treated. In order to maintain, in the time, the efficiency of the plant of spraying and avoid the blockage of piping and nozzles, is necessary to install a good system of filtering.
The treatment can be "to warm" or "to cold", the choice mainly depends on two factors: thermo &#8211; physical characteristic of materials, and the characteristics of the process to be effected. The high temperatures reached in the process "to warm" on the one hand accelerate the phase of drying, on the other hand could lengthen times of attended before passing to any following treatment. In case of process "to cold", the times of drying are more dilated because of the low temperatures.

Immersion treatment: This process is based on a direct contact among the elements to treat and the solutions of process, are them water based, solvent based or mixed system.
The treatment can be "to warm" or "to cold", the choice mainly depends on two factors: thermo &#8211; physical characteristic of materials, and the characteristics of the process to be effected. The high temperatures reached in the process "to warm" on the one hand accelerate the phase of drying, on the other hand could lengthen times of attended before passing to any following treatment. In case of process "to cold", the times of drying are more dilated because of the low temperatures.
Immersion process can be effected in plants endowed with one or more vats, the choice depends on the specific necessities of the treatment to effect.
Immersion process is often sustained and accompanied by a mechanical action (rotation, agitation, flushing, ultrasounds, hydrokinetic, etc.).]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[FRITSCH premium line &#8211; the first planetary ball mill with sunken grinding bowls.

Discover with the new FRITSCH premium line high performance planetary mill, a completely new dimension of high tech grinding: For the first time you will see a planetary mill with sunken grinding bowls. 

Why did FRITSCH sink the grinding bowls?
Characteristic features of conventional planetary ball mills are grinding bowls clamped onto the solar disk of the mill. This limits the maximum rotational speed, because from a certain borderline rotational speed the centrifugal powers asserted on the bowl, are so high, that the fasteners may not be able to hold the bowl. Resulting in damaged mills and bowls.

On the other hand, the grinding of materials into the nano ranges require &#8211; an increasingly demanded task &#8211; much higher applications of energy and therefore higher rotational speeds as previous planetary ball mills allowed.

The sinking of the grinding bowl into the solar disc of this mill solves this problem! Now the center of gravity of the bowls is on the level of the solar disc. The appearing centrifugal powers produce considerably lower moments of tilt, which in turn allow clearly higher rotational speeds of the mill. So with the new FRITSCH premium line an up to 150% higher application of energy is possible. The grinding time into the nano range is hereby considerably reduced. For certain materials this increased application of energy makes the production of nano particles with planetary ball mills possible.

An additional decisive advantage of the sinking of the bowls into the solar disk is the new tensioning unit for grinding bowls SelfLOCK. The accidental dismantling of the bowl during grinding is impossible. Additionally, the user cannot operate it incorrectly. This new safety concept fulfils the risen demands of customers.

FRITSCH therefore sets new standards in the area of communition!

The new FRITSCH planetary mill premium line was awarded on the occasion of the Hannover fair with the Innovation Award Industry in the nano technology category. Among 300 participants FRITSCH GmbH &#8211; Manufacturers of Laboratory Instruments secured this award.

Test it yourself:
We could probably tell you a lot &#8211; convince yourself! Experience the FRITSCH premium line in action, call us or simply register at: www.fritsch.de. We will stop by for a sample grinding. Or mail us a sample now for a test grinding and compare for yourself!]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[The Hafner pump production run offers a great range of hose pumps for the application in the industry and laboratory.
Depending on the particular viscosity of the media the pumping up to 6000 mPas is possible. Soft solids up to a size of 2mm are no problem and media with the temperature of -5°C to +70°C can be pumped and dosed. The output volume is 
0,5l/m to 5l/min.
The pump consists of high-strength aluminium and its coating is suitable for use in food. The castors are made in stainless steel and habe foler bearings- so they are much more durable then plastc versions. Thanks to the steel version also very robust hoses can be compressed.
Due to the modular ancillary transmission even very small amounts can be dosed with an accuracy of 1%. The pumps are ATEX-certified and FDA and TA-Air compliant.
The pumpe head can be adapted to the customers need via the multi-channel version. This can also be done subsequently and in an uncomplicated way. The space-saving pumps are easily to clean and the hose can quickly be changed.]]></description>

SeTAC is particularly ideal for application in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines where several producers mount it as standard equipment for safety and control reasons. Thanks to its high technological profile, the SeTAC is able to overcome the weaknesses of traditional vibration analysis systems unable to give clear and unequivocal alarms and inaccessible because of high prices. Real time frequency analysis permits to check continuously different components (resonances, unbalancing) and fundamental vibration components breaking turbines if vibrations overcome the limits. 

&#8226;	Detects anomalous behaviours such as collisions, unbalancing, overcharges and/or wears
&#8226;	Intervenes promptly through digital alarms able to interface with the control logic 
&#8226;	Registers and catalogues permanently the vibration history of the turbine
&#8226;	Elaborates internally the acceleration signals thanks to the powerful microprocessor integrated discriminating the single vibration components 
&#8226;	Quick configuration of thresholds and working parameters through user interface for PC 
&#8226;	No periodic calibration thanks to the use of MEMS accelerometers

                    <description><![CDATA[The newest generation of the proven FISCHER XDAL and XDLM x-ray spectrometers is now available. During the development process the improvement of the units` performance was focused as well as ergonomics and design.

The XDLM spectrometers with micro focus tube and proportional counter tube are ideally suited for the inspection of parts where small structures are measured. Typical applications are measurements on pc-boards, plug contacts and electronic components. XDLM spectrometers are equipped with four exchangeable apertures and a programmable XY(Z) measuring stage. This makes them ideally suited for testing mass-produced parts.

The XDAL spectrometers with silicon PIN detectors provide reliable analysis results and coating thickness readings even with small concentration and very thin coatings. With their fast and highly precise XY(Z) measuring stage, they are ideally suited for automated sample measurements.

The XDAL and XDLM spectrometers have an excellent long-term stability, which is reflected in a significantly reduced calibration effort, among other things.
Using the FISCHER fundamental parameter method, coating systems as well as solid and liquid samples can be analyzed standard-free.

The new instruments are now available at all FISCHER offices.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Wiesbauer makes light work of heavy work! This Wiesbauer motto can also be applied to the SENNEBOGEN 5500 Star-Lifter. The 180 t crawler crane was recently added to the extensive Wiesbauer fleet along with a SENNEBOGEN 3300 Star-Lifter. This well-established company was founded in 1958 and has developed successfully over the years through healthy growth and expansion. Today, Wiesbauer is a leading name in Germany in the field of cranes, transport and assembly and is now under the management of Thomas and Jochen Wiesbauer, the 3rd generation of the Wiesbauer family to run the business. 

&#8220;We are extremely satisfied with the two new SENNEBOGEN crawler cranes. The robust, durable design and straightforward technology are of particular importance for us in the rental field&#8221;, states Marco Wilhelm, authorized representative at Wiesbauer. The ease of transportation between construction sites and the self-assembly system of the SENNEBOGEN Star-Lifter crawler crane make it an extremely cost-effective solution that can be deployed almost instantly. 

One of the first tasks for the SENNEBOGEN 5500 Star-Lifter was the construction of the new logistics centre for Fressnapf Tiernahrungs GmbH in Feuchtwangen. With a total investment sum of 16 million euro, the distribution centre is one of the largest investments made by Fressnapf GmbH to date. From as early as November, over 100 HGVs will be delivering products to Fressnapf outlets in southern Germany from this centre each day. The Max Bögl Group with headquarters in Neumarkt is the general contractor responsible for this major project. The SENNEBOGEN 5500 was rented by Wiesbauer complete with driver specifically for the heavy lifting work. With a boom configuration of 29.9 m on the main boom and the same length on the luffing jib, the machine was used to position solid walls, main girders, frost barriers, supports and other heavy components safely and precisely, including parts weighing way over 30 t. With its ability to move and turn safely under full load, the SENNEBOGEN 5500 offers maximum flexibility on construction sites. The extremely high loads are also impressive, particularly on the luffing jib, as is the flexibility of the boom system and the straightforward technology, enabling the machine to offer maximum availability and reliability.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Enhanced productivity, class-leading durability and exceptional comfort and safety have all been built into the new DP/GP IC-powered Cat® lift trucks &#8211; making them among the most sophisticated and durable handling workhorses available with some of the lowest lifetime costs. 

Downtime has been reduced to an absolute minimum on the updated diesel and LPG-powered range with a variety of features. The previous analogue display, for example, is replaced by a new digital version that not only warns truck drivers if an unexpected fault occurs but also provides error codes to ensure an engineer brings the right parts with them, keeping repair times down. An engine timer, meanwhile, keeps track of hours worked, providing a countdown that helps fleet managers schedule regular maintenance in as efficiently as their operation allows. 

All of the diesel engines are rugged industrial units that have been designed for long life and simple maintenance, raising uptime and reducing servicing costs. Gear wheels, for example, are used instead of a can-belt, doing away with the need for the regular replacement of such items.  

Further enhancing the durability of the updated DP/GP range is a new design of bush-mounted rear axle that improves the service life of this very important lift truck component. 

The new trucks also incorporate LED work lights as standard, which can last for the entire life of the vehicle, removing the chance of a sudden failure putting the truck out of service at a critical moment.

The LPG-powered models all come with electronic engine control as standard which makes for more sophisticated regulation of the fuel injection process, resulting in better fuel economy as well as smoother, quieter performance. Electronic control is also an option on diesel-powered models. 

Comfort is also given a boost by a modified shape of overhead guard, set slightly higher than previous models to give truck operators greater internal space, making cab entry and exit easier. 

An optional high-visibility overhead guard can be specified to replace the standard longitudinal steel bar design with a solid steel plate incorporating a transparent section made of polycarbonate and glass. This innovative design not only gives improved visibility when working with loads at height but also protects drivers from any small parts that might fall from the racking and otherwise find their way through a standard overhead guard &#8211; all while offering superior strength to traditional steel bar designs.]]></description>
