SAMOSPRO COMPACT-PLUS OFFERS ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY
Wieland Electric has added six new industrial press
function control blocks to its samosPro Compact-
Plus family of programmable safety controllers,
and integrated support for both EtherNet/IP and
EtherCAT fi eldbus communication protocols.
The expanded capabilities of the samosPro
Compact-Plus modules make it simple for anyone
involved in machine design to seamlessly integrate
peripheral devices into the automation network and to
relay control information back to these devices, using
one of several industrial communications protocols.
The use of these pre-designed press control
function blocks allows machine design engineers
to easily and cost effectively add critical safety
control functions to both new and existing
industrial press systems.
The new samosPro Compact-Plus variants
offer enhanced functionality, including certifi ed function blocks for the safe automation
of mechanical or hydraulic presses with support for multiple fi eldbus protocols. The
modules offer six control function blocks to monitor press contacts, ensuring proper signal
sequencing and timing during press operation, whilst controlling press operation during
setup, single-stroke, automatic, and cyclic modes.
NEW ADDITION TO THE
DOBYGRIP RANGE
Doby Verrolec has extended its DobyGrip
wire suspension system with the addition of a
popular accessory: Wire with nail anchor FNA
II-OE. The product provides electricians with an
extremely safe, durable and effi cient method for
fi xing into cracked and non-cracked concrete as
well as structures made of solid sand-lime brick,
natural stone with a dense structure and pre-stressed
hollow-core concrete slabs.
The wire with nail anchor FNA II-OE uses a hammerset installation
principle to allow it to expand automatically under load, reducing
installation time and offering the ideal solution to suspend any static load
including cable tray and luminaires.
Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, it is ETA approved for use in C12/15 and
C50/60 concrete. The new product has a safe working load of up to 50kg when used
with DobyGrip DG2. It can be supplied loose or pre-attached to the galvanised wire
rope and has an extremely short anchor depth that prevents reinforcement hits and
ensures a fast, trouble free installation.

CERTAG’S HEAVY DUTY INSPECTION LABELS
FOR HARSH WORKING ENVIRONMENTS
One of Certag’s most widely used products
is its heavy duty PAT label. Unlike
standard PAT labels that are designed for
environments such as offi ces and schools,
they have been developed to withstand
harsh environments such as construction,
oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing.
They are printed on tear resistant
materials that withstand abrasion,
chemicals and weather.
When wrapped around the cord of
equipment, the automotive grade adhesive
forms a watertight bond that will last for the
life of the test inspection period.
Certag offers off-the-shelf products in
packs of 100 with no minimum order quantity
and free shipping. Designs can be fully
customised for orders of fi ve packs or more
to include company logo and contact details.
