Increase Reliability and Efficiency
of your Weighing Process
Even small inefficiencies can
add up to big costs. Why
settle for inefficient operations
when you can improve overall
productivity with innovative
POWERCELL® technology from
METTLER TOLEDO.
New maXYmos NC for monitoring and
controlling Kistler NC servo press modules
The new Type 5847 maXYmos NC
represents a significant improvement
to the capabilities of the Kistler NC
servo press modules. The maXYmos NC
will monitor, evaluate and document
the XY characteristics of joining and
press-fit processes using the force and
displacement data from the servo press
module.
Modern weigh modules with
POWERCELL® technology help
predict and diagnose issues
before they even happen to
avoid downtime and production
problems - keeping your
equipment running until repair
is possible.
The new version extends the capability of the NC Servo Press system
to monitor and control the shape of the measurement curves against a
defined profile in real-time. A significantly greater degree of control in
terms of position, velocity and force, is possible compared with equivalent
hydraulic systems. As a result, optimum cycle times can be achieved with
the highest degree of process repeatability.
METTLER TOLEDO’s accuracy

checklist can help increase
yield, reduce risks and enhance
the efficiency of your weighing
process. Stand-alone batch

Densoband aids prevention
of concrete surface
cracking
Winn & Coales Densoband was specifically developed to
meet Highways Agency requirements for concrete-toasphalt joints and asphalt-to-asphalt road joints. Now,
a new use has been found by CLS Civil Engineering of
Brigg, Lincs., which does not rely on Densoband’s longterm water sealing properties. Following discussion with
Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd a 55x8mm version of Densoband was used to provide
an expansion joint between the concrete and the steel anchoring in a gap in the
channel of a steel anchor plinth base for a wind turbine foundation. The purpose
was to prevent cracking on the surface of the concrete base to which the turbine is
anchored, which can be caused by temperature differences and the vibration that
can arise from movement of the wind tower. The Densoband strip also prevents
any stone or gravel debris getting into the channel.

trucks. The Terex® Stackace™ E 5 8, E 6 8, E 6
9 and E 7 9 empty container handlers replace
existing TPS models, combining the strengths
of their respective predecessors with many new
features. The Stackace™ lift trucks are cost
effective, easily serviced and ergonomic. The compact container handlers
feature a user friendly cab design and offer ease of manoeuvrability. The
machines have a maximum load capacity of 8 or 9 t. They offer low fuel
consumption and simple access to all maintenance points.

Thanks to a new range of BEKA intrinsically safe and Type n rugged panel mounting
indicators, it is now possible to safely install 4/20mA loop powered indicators in
Ex e increased safety and Ex p pressurised cabinets located in Zones 1 or 2 and
in Ex n cabinets located in Zone 2 without invalidating the cabinet’s certification.
Housed in a 316 stainless steel case with an impact resistant IP66 front, these
IECEx and ATEX certified indicators significantly reduce installation complexity and
cost. The instrument certificates define in which certified cabinets and in which
Zones the indicators may be installed.

The Ex nA non-sparking certified indicators do not require a Zener barrier or
galvanic isolator and may be installed in Zone 2 cabinets. For Zone 1 applications
the intrinsically safe models should be used. Both are supported by Application
Guides, AG310 for Ex nA and AG300 for Ex i applications.

In-Line Panel Cleaning
KSM Superclean are pleased to announce the launch
of the new SC-IPC Inline Panel Cleaner. The SC-IPC is
designed to clean rigid panels from 125 micron to 6mm
thick and will remove dry, unattached particles from
your critical surfaces to the sub micron level.
The SC-IPC is a slim 243mm wide and will slot nicely
into your production line to clean substrates directly
before any critical process that could be ruined by the
presence of micro-contamination.
Some of the outstanding features of the SCPC include,
4 x 36mm dia particle transfer rollers for double sided
cleaning, variable speed control, panel counter and beacon. The PTR
cleaning core can be completely removed for cleaning and maintenance
and the
