INTEGRATED SYSTEMS 56 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS March 2020 www.hpmag.co.uk A wide range of HepcoMotion’s products are now available on the TraceParts CAD content platform, the provider of 3D digital content for engineering. HepcoMotion comments that as it is committed to improving customer usability and convenience, it chose TraceParts as it is one of the primary resources for engineers and design professionals from all over the world to download 3D CAD models for industrial parts. With over 3.5 million registered users, many of HepcoMotion’s existing customers will already be using TraceParts, making HepcoMotion’s presence a welcomed addition. As a global company, it was key for HepcoMotion to find a solution that would meet the needs of its customers worldwide. TraceParts is available in 24 languages, including core markets for HepcoMotion such as China, Korea and the US, ensuring that customers worldwide can quickly and easily access models. 3D CAD models are available from TraceParts in over 60 formats, thereby maximising compatibility with all commonly used CAD systems. As with many industrial component suppliers, CAD downloads play a key role in providing sales leads. Peter Jones, marketing manager at HepcoMotion, comments: “The CAD download leads are very valuable to our sales force. This is a clear signal that a customer is thinking about using our products and gives our experienced sales engineers the opportunity to assist project engineers and to provide advice on the application.” The introduction of TraceParts means HepcoMotion customers will now have a choice of two platforms to download 3D CAD models, offering customers more choice and convenience. www.hepcomotion.com HepcoMotion chooses TraceParts as a service provider to publish product data in 3D Emerson has introduced its newly redesigned ASCO Series 353 pulse valve, designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users achieve a more effective, efficient and convenient bag cleaning every time. With a higher peak pressure, wider temperature range, patented quick mount clamp connection and overall part simplification, the new series provides longer bag and filter life and lower maintenance. The new valve can be used in a wide range of applications, including concrete processing, grain, agriculture and feed, metalworking (abrasive blasting), food processing, foundries, pharmaceutical, mining, rubber mixing/processing, metal processing, lime industry, cement factories, power plants and steel mills. Without optimum peak pressure, dust collector cleaning becomes inefficient and the consumption of compressed air rises. Because it hits peak pressure quickly, the Series 353 creates a more effective cleaning process. The new design also leads to improved airflow through the filter bags or cartridges for optimised dust collector performance while reducing costly compressed air consumption. Rigorous engineering design and testing “Through a rigorous engineering design and testing process, Emerson has optimised the ASCO Series 353 pulse valve to open, hit peak pressure and close faster than the competition. This gives our customers optimised filter cleaning and significant compressed air savings across all reverse-jet dust collector system applications,” says vice president of global marketing for Emerson’s industrial automation business, Erik VanLaningham. In addition, the valve is designed with fewer moving parts for increased reliability and simplified maintenance. A longer valve lifespan – over one million cycles on average – results in more time between valve maintenance cycles. The Series 353 also offers a patented quick mount clamp connection, providing faster, easier installation, as well as connection options, like the classic dresser connection and threaded version. Emerson’s redesigned Series 353 provides a broader operating temperature range of -40degC to 140degC, making it suitable for moderate-to-harsh industrial and hazardous environments. www.emerson.com New pulse valve delivers higher peak pressure for longer bag, filter lifespan and maintenance
