New Controls and Controllers Products

Solid-State Contactors accept potentiometer input.

Power switching products accept 0-5 k potentiometer signal and convert it into time proportional output. With cycling capability of twice per second and set-point resolution of 0.5 sinewave, contactors reduce thermal stress and include finger-safe caged terminals, integral heat sink, and universal mounting bracket for DIN-rail or bolt-on installations. Products are available in single-phase...

Pneumatic Assembly Tool Control has error-proofing ability.

Smart Torq(TM) Error-Proofer learns correct fastener installation characteristics, monitors entire assembly process, and controls final torque. It identifies variations such as differences in workpiece characteristics, fasteners, or assembly tool performance and detects and identifies cross-threading, premature shut-off, re-hits, cam-outs, missed fasteners, and incorrect torque. Supplied with...

Motion Controller includes data acquisition capabilities.

Compatible with CompactPCI, PXI-7350 provides 8 axes of stepper or servo motion control from single slot of 3U PXI chassis. Module includes eight 16-bit analog inputs for single-point data acquisition and 64-bit digital I/O lines for controlling solid-state relays or reading digital encoders. It features arbitrary position triggers, sinusoidal commutation, and LabVIEW and Motion Assistant...

Ink Viscosity Controller retrofits to sealed cup pad printers.

Model VC-1 continuously monitors ink viscosity inside sealed ink cup. If viscosity varies outside preset range, solvent is automatically added to bring ink back to proper viscosity, without operator intervention. Unit mounts directly in ink cup, eliminating need for off-printer ink reservoirs. Model VC-1 works with single or 2-component inks.

Gas Ignition Controls simplify HVAC applications.

Fully integrated controls feature PC board platforms that can be designed to perform discrete (heat only) or multiple (heating and cooling) functions. Offered as direct spark and hot surface ignition systems, controls use plug-in style connectors and can include outputs that drive other accessories. Hardware- and software-configurable controls are UL/CSA/CE approved.

Temperature Controllers feature modular design.

Series N7 can handle sophisticated control algorithms, as well as monitor and count various events. High voltage output module provides up to 6 high voltage relays, while custom firmware allows multiple applications in one controller. Up to 4 sensor inputs can be customized to include thermocouples, RTDs, or process inputs. Ethernet communications module enables NAFEM protocol options. Units...
