Washdown Resistant ToughWash Signs and Labels

Tired of replacing signs and labels that just won't stay stuck?

Brady ToughWash materials are engineered for the rigors of typical washdown cycles used in food and beverage processing. They have tested their products against a wide range of washdown temperatures and pressures over hundreds of cycles using common sanitizers, harsh scrubbing and high pressure sprays.  The end result....some of the most durable signs and labels you can find.

Brady's flexible B-854 ToughWash sign material is metal detectable in addition to being highly durable in washdown cycles. It is developed with an integrated metal detectable element so common detectors will detect sign fragments during the quality assurance or production process. Furthermore, this design will not delaminate and split into layers like other products, reducing the possibility of contamination.  You can use this material with some of Brady's most popular, powerful and versatile printing systems to design and print your own custom signage on site.

TURCK Introduces Multiprotocol Ethernet In-Cabinet, Block I/O Stations

TURCK is expanding its line of In-Cabinet, Block I/O stations with the addition of the FEN20 I/O stations for Industrial Ethernet. This station incorporates TURCK's Industrial Ethernet multiprotocol technology into a fixed, economical, in-cabinet I/O product ideal for applications where digital I/O needs to be elevated to an Industrial Ethernet layer such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP.

The FEN20 I/O stations are available with 16 configurable I/O, with power isolation between I/O zones, and an embedded Ethernet switch to support a variety of application topologies. The station can be addressed via an external rotary switch or via a webserver which makes troubleshooting easier, quicker, and more cost-effective. The FEN20 supports DHCP, LLDP, and includes LEDs for status and basic troubleshooting.

TURCK's Industrial Ethernet multiprotocol technology is an innovative approach to Ethernet applications. A single station can operate on a Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP or PROFINET network. Upon power-up, the station automatically recognizes the protocol of the master that tries to connect to it, and dedicates the outputs to that master while still allowing other protocols to access the input data and diagnostic information.

"The FEN20 in-cabinet I/O modules employs a unique housing that makes it perfect for uses in light towers, push button, or operator panels" said Christian Vitale, Sr. Product Manager at TURCK. "The FEN20 I/O station completes our family of in-cabinet, block I/O stations that can also be used in PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, AS-interface and now multiprotocol Ethernet fieldbus applications."

TURCK Expands Inductive Sensor Line Designed for Harsh Applications

The Q80WD is an addition to the uprox+ family of factor one sensors that require no correction factor to detect any metal type.  

The Q80WD features an improved design with a durable, stainless steel M12 connector and chemical resistant PPS thermoplastic housing that delivers resistance to chemicals and caustic cleaning agents, as well as shock and impact.  Additionally, the housing materials are food-safe and meet FDA Regulation 21CFR 177, 1500(9) for the U.S. and FDA/EGVO 1935/2004 for the E.U. The Q80WD features 2 side mounted LED's for optimal viewing.

"The introduction of  the Q80WD allows us to offer an even wider range of washdown sensor solutions for our customers", said John Murphy, Product Manager for TURCK. "With an extended range of 75mm, the uprox+ washdown family can provide a perfect solution in a variety of applications including food and beverage, mobile equipment, and many outdoor installations.

The existing uprox+ washdown family is comprised of 8, 12, 18, and 30mm diameter barrels, 42mm Qpaks with sensing ranges between 1.5 and 50mm. The uprox+ technology is able to sense all types of metals at the same distance, not only eliminating the need to change the position of the sensors for different metal applications, but also reducing the number of sensor types needed for plant operations. In addition to an extended sensing distance, the Q80WD delivers reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -25 degrees to +70 degrees Celsius and is IP68 approved or IP69k approved with optional back plate.

Benefits:

• Offers a longer sensing range than previously possible
• Delivers resistance to chemicals and caustic cleaning agents, as well as shock and impact
• Food safe materials
• 2 side mounted LED's for optimal viewing
