RK Rose+Krieger is expanding its product range of aluminium (Solid Clamps) and plastic (Light Clamps) tube connectors to include a total of seven clamping elements with a size 18 ball joint. Following on from the successful acceptance of four aluminium tube connector models with a size 30 integrated ball joint on the market, three more variants with a ball joint are now complementing the Solid Clamps series. Size 18 base, angle and hinge clamps are the new additions to the range. The series of Light Clamps has also been expanded. Four new plastic tube connectors with ball joints, also size 18, are now available to complement the product range. In addition to the variants mentioned above, this also includes a sleeve clamp. All the new ball clamps have a universal connecting plate that can be rotated 360° to ensure flexible connection and feature two slotted holes and two threads. The connecting plates’ pivoting range is 60° in each case. The clamping elements can be freely adjusted and easily fixed. This makes them ideal for the construction of flexible tube structures, as well as for mounting sensors, reflectors and other elements that need to be precisely aligned or readjusted more frequently, depending on the production requirements and product. A special surface coating on the ball joint makes for a high-strength clamping connection. Features: can be pivoted freely by 60°/can be rotated 360° can be combined with size 18 and 30 tube connectors the clamps feature a universal connecting plate for flexible integration high-strength clamping thanks to special finishes

This electronic module was developed to control two hydraulic positioning axes. Both axes can be controlled completely independently or in synchronism via a field bus. The differential outputs are designed to control continuous valves with integrated or external electronics (differential input). Alternatively, the output signal can be parameterized to 4…20 mA. The module is intended for the connection of analogue position sensors 0…10 V or 4…20 mA (scalable) or digital SSI position sensors. The internal monitoring signals errors and operating states to the higher-level control. Operational readiness is signaled via a switching output. Typical applications: positioning controls or synchronous controls with hydraulic axes. Features • Two independent positioning axes • Can be combined for synchronization control • Setpoint specification, actual value feedback, control byte and status byte via a fieldbus interface • SSI sensor interface or analog sensor interface (0… 10 V or 4… 20 mA) • Simple and user-friendly scaling of the sensors • Speed resolution 0.005 mm/s • Principle of path-dependent braking for robust positioning • Highly precise positioning • Advanced control technology with PT1 controller, drift compensation and fine positioning • Superimposed synchronization controller as PT1 (optimal for hydraulic applications) • Optimal use with zero-cut control valves • Master / slave or mean value control • Error diagnostics and advanced function testing • Simplified parameterization with WPC-300 software

The aim of marking a workpiece is to create a marking that is permanent, high-contrast and high-resolution. In addition, the material should only be subjected to minimal stress or have its properties altered. These requirements are optimally met by the laser systems in the Business Fiber USP series. Compared to comparable systems, the ultrashort pulse laser DFL Brevis Marker guarantees: short pulses and very high pulse peak power thanks to ultrashort pulse laser technology (USP laser technology) combined with the advantages of a fiber laser, extended application possibilities for high-contrast markings on plastics, burr-free, dimensionally accurate deep engravings on tools or jewelry as well as transparent materials, high quality engravings with high cutting edge quality and minimal heat exposure.

With its multiplicity of types, the PFLITSCH cable gland system UNI Dicht fulfils all the EU requirements for line and cable entries. Whether solutions for EMC or explosion protection, multiple elbow and flange glands or combinations with corrugated tubes and protective conduits for safe, reliable cable protection – UNI Dicht cable glands have a practically unlimited range of applications. The UNI Dicht cable gland consists of a gland body and a corresponding sealing insert. The cable gland bodies are available in the metals brass, zinc, stainless steel and aluminium as well as the plastics PVDF and polycarbonate. We manufacture the sealing inserts for the UNI Dicht system from the high-quality materials TPE, TPE-V and silicone, which are resistant to chemicals, improve strain relief and meet high ingress protection ratings up to IP 68 (10 bar) and IP 69 as standard. Simply put together your individual, application-specific cable gland and choose from a wide range of specific criteria such as connection thread, bending protection, increased strain relief, elbow glands, flat cable sealing, etc.

EMC cable glands must combine several properties: they should not only reliably eliminate electromagnetic interference fields, but also undesirably high shield currents. In order to be able to use them in limited installation space, compact dimensions are required. A large sealing range is ideal so that the user only has to stock a few variants to reliably seal the cable diameters used. In addition, the components should be time- and cost-saving as well as safe to assemble. These requirements are met by the new UNI Dicht TRI, which complements the extensive range of EMC solutions. The advantages of high-quality EMC contacting via TRI spring - known from the blueglobe series - are combined here with the compactness and individuality of the proven UNI Dicht modular system. For the user, this means that the cable gland is particularly easy to install, as the TRI spring allows the cable to be easily corrected during installation. In addition, the UNI Dicht multiple TRI product variant is the only EMC cable gland available on the market that allows the insertion of several shielded cables and the reliable contacting of each individual cable with separate triangle springs.

How do you route assembled cables through standard hole cut-outs for 24-pole connectors and seal them securely? PFLITSCH has developed a solution for this: the splittable UNI FLANSCH. The UNI FLANSCH is the only splittable flange solution based on the sealing principle of a cable gland. This flange solution combines the properties of the UNI Dicht system with the advantages of a splittable frame plate and splittable pressure screws. The UNI FLANSCH is available in plastic and metal. The metal version has been designed for use in harsh industrial environments (UNI FLANSCH HD - Heavy Duty). With the UNI FLANSCH and UNI FLANSCH, PFLITSCH has a unique product solution for the simple and safe assembly of assembled cables and conductors. Repairs, maintenance or retrofitting are also no problem with the completely splittable systems. No disconnecting of cables or dismantling of connectors is necessary. The splittable flange systems can be mounted around the cables. This enables easy retrofitting, servicing and maintenance without interrupting production. Three double nipples are integrated into the splittable frame plate made of PA plastic or zinc die-cast, into which more than 100 different sealing inserts from the UNI Dicht system can be inserted. The sealing inserts - made of TPE-V - guide cable cross-sections from 2.0 mm to 20.5 mm safely into or out of the enclosure. The soft crimping prevents the cable from being pinched, which would severely damage the cable sheath. This sealing principle also ensures the high strain relief class A according to EN 62444. The sealing inserts as well as the all-round seal on the frame plate prevent the ingress of dust and jet water and thus achieve protection class IP 66 and Type 4 or Type 4X. The two flange versions offer all these advantages at operating temperatures from -20 °C to +80 °C.

The UNI Split Gland series supplements the PFLITSCH product range with splittable cable glands made of plastic and metal. The divisibility of the cable gland not only enables the installation of preassembled cables, it also offers the advantage of being able to re-install cables as required - without having to dismantle preassembled cables and without interrupting ongoing production. The installation of the UNI Split Gland is quick and easy thanks to the few components. Both the gland body and the pressure screw consist of two halves. The sealing inserts are slotted at the sides and thus enable the insertion of assembled cables. The highlight of the UNI Split Gland: Due to the division of the gland body, the entire bore diameter can be used for the feed-through of already pre-assembled connectors. The UNI Split Gland is based on the UNI sealing principle and thus ensures a secure sealing of the cables without irreparably constricting them. The corresponding TPE-V sealing inserts from the UNI Dicht range - from closed to multiple sealing inserts - can be inserted into the split cable gland and realise a large sealing area. The UNI Split Gland made of polycarbonate or die-cast zinc also scores points with strain relief according to EN 62444 and an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +80 °C.
