Baumer’s new FKDK 14 contrast sensors for print mark detection are fast and accurate, making them the ideal, economical solution for print mark detection in packaging and printing machines. Utilizing white light as the light source, the FKDK 14 series can precisely detect print marks of all colors.
Optimized for high throughput speed, the new contrast sensor offers a response time down to 50 µs. This allows very short throughput times to be achieved. At the same time, the contrast sensor is very compact and can be integrated easily into any machine. The 2-point teach-in procedure is simple and intuitive and can also be conducted dynamically during the process.
Since the light source is white light, the contrast sensor can reliably detect print marks of all colors, even with slight contrast to the background. The switching status is indicated with an LED, which is clearly visible through the transparent housing base of the contrast scanner.
The FKDK 14 is ideally suited for applications in packaging and graphic machinery. Providing an economical solution for print mark or printing plate detection, the FKDK 14 diffuse contrast sensor combines short response time and a compact housing with the unique white light source.

Camera Systems provides a complete camera portfolio for industrial process monitoring and security surveillance for hazardous and industrial areas. Due to our innovative SNF*-technology, all cameras are considerably lighter than any existing ones, and extremely robust. Almost all of our cameras are designed for operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +75°C, even our infrared camera with day/night vision.
We are therefore able to design complete surveillance systems for any type of production plant, be it an oil rig, a tank farm, onboard ship or in process plants in the pharmaceutical or chemical industries. For control and standard monitoring, we have the ISview software package.
Larger surveillance systems with up to several hundred cameras are covered by the professional SeeTec software.

Aerospace & Defense
When the military relies on a line of resolvers for proven performance, you know it’s a top-of-the-line product. Precise feedback and speed control of their aircraft at all times is imperative to pilots. That’s why they trust Harowe brand resolvers to deliver reliable and accurate feedback.
Thrust reversers, throttle valve indicators and starter/generator feedback are just some of the critical mechanical and jet operation applications that Harowe brand resolvers control. They are also used for flap position indicators, fuel control valve indicators, inertial guidance systems and auto-pilot controls. Battling gravity and top speeds, pilots must be confident their resolvers will perform to specification.
Harowe products are designed to meet aerospace and defense requirements, including: high-speed applications (over 30,000RPM), high-temperature environments (up to 200C), high-shock and vibration environments, dual speeds, and tandems for redundancy applications. We can supply COTS, Modified COTS and ITAR solutions.

New Digital Thermostats will Improve the Performance of Refrigeration and Heating Applications
West Control Solutions has launched the CAL Thermostats family, a range of easy-to-use temperature thermostats that improve performance and efficiency for food and beverage manufacturers. With a simple user interface, large clear display and a high ingress protection-rated casing, CAL Thermostats offer precision monitoring of temperatures within ovens, fryers, refrigerators and other chillers.
Self-Tuning Digital Thermostat
The CAL ET2011 digital thermostat is an easily programmable standard thermostat for heating or cooling control, with a 4-digit display. A simple panel clamp enables quick installation and release, while a range of input options for thermocouples or PT100 provides capability to meet a wide range of application requirements. The automatic, ‘self-tuning’ calculation of PID parameters, soft-start functionality and the option for relay or SSR output to be assigned as the main control output all contribute to the flexibility and efficiency of the instrument.
Defrost Thermostats for Compressor Defrost or Fan Control
For refrigeration applications where defrost is required, the CAL EDT defrost thermostats offer different output options for compressor defrost or fan control, up to two NTC thermistor sensor inputs and an option for an external digital input to trigger a defrost event. The devices support different defrost cycles: compressor shutdown, electric or hot gas defrost cycles. Fast set-up is enabled using the “CAL key”, a flash memory key that allows configuration settings to be copied from a master device to any further devices that share the same configuration, saving time and ensuring commissioning or down time is minimised. An RS485 option is available for monitoring and reporting, while a real-time clock for initiating the defrost cycle at a specific time of day.
The CAL thermostat range provides an aesthetically-pleasing design featuring a large display that is ideal for both industrial and non-industrial applications.
