Business couldn’t be further from normal right now but HENKEL reports it has a long-established online network for its customers to access support and instruction to ensure the wheels of industry keep turning. Take LOCTITE threadlocking, for example, there are now multiple ways for customers to learn more about the technology. The first port of call is HENKEL’s new website on the subject - http://henkel-adhesives.com/uk/ threadlockers - which is packed with application information including a downloadable user guide, videos on topics such as why assemblies fail and how to disassemble threadlocked assemblies. There are also videos of how various industrial sectors have benefited from the technology. The HENKEL sales engineers continue to provide on- line consultations and demonstrations. To request this support go to https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/uk/ en/insights/loctite-services-signup.html. w | www.henkel-adhesives.co.uk ESAB WELDING & CUTTING PRODUCTS has announced it has launched Coreweld 55 LT H4, the newest product in its series of Coreweld metal cored wires designed for welding high strength steel (HSS). Coreweld 55 LT H4, which conforms to AWS A5.36 E91T15 M21A6-G H4 and EN ISO 18276-A T 55 6 Z M21 2 H5, offers a typical impact toughness of 110 J at -60o C, a yield strength greater than 550 MPa, a tensile strength of 670 MPa and less than 4 ml diffusible hydrogen per 100 gr of deposited weld metal. Applications include semi-automatic and automatic welding of bridge members, crane arms and other lifting equipment, mobile machinery and hoppers and containers. Produced and stocked in Europe, ESAB offers Coreweld 55 LT H4 in 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 mm diameters. w | www.esab.com BUNTING has announced it has added two new models to its range of Permanent Overband Magnets. The company says the two new designs – the PMax and Easibelt - meet specific requirements of reduced maintenance time and lighter weights. These models expand the Overband range, which also includes the classic PCB model. The design of the Overband Magnet is simple with two pulleys mounted on a frame either side of a permanent magnetic block. As the name suggests, the Overband Magnet is positioned above a conveyor, either over the head pulley, or more commonly across the belt. In operation, conveyed material passes under the Overband where the strong magnetic field attracts, lifts and then automatically discards tramp ferrous metal such as rebar. e | press@buntingeurope.com w | www.buntingeurope.com As a leader in oils, cutting fluids and lubrication, ROCOL has announced it has published a ‘Machine Shop Solutions’ brochure to highlight just a selection of the industry leading solutions that can improve productivity, reduce costs and significantly reduce environmental footprint. From product concept, design and development through to technical expertise and customer services, ROCOL says it supports all machine shop needs, and this latest brochure shows how a business can benefit from ROCOL’s expertise. The 20-page brochure is just a snapshot of the comprehensive range of fluid solutions that are available from the Leeds based manufacturer. Well known for its hand applied RTD cutting and tapping lubricants, ROCOL says it is also a pioneer in cutting fluids, fluid care products, slideway lubricants and cleaners and much more. t | 0113 232 2600 e | shaun.heys@rocol.com ‘Fluid Solutions’ brochure The extensive range of proximity sensors available from condition monitoring specialists SENSONICS now includes its fully integrated PRI Series. Building on their established Senturion proximity probe range, the PRI Series offers a single probe assembly solution with direct processed outputs which eliminates the need for a separate driver. The company says recent design enhancements have resulted in improved performance for less demanding OEM applications with operating temperatures up to 120ºC such as; industrial gearboxes, pumps fans, blowers and hydro-generator applications. Meanwhile the 180ºC rated standard XPR04 probes with separate drivers would be suitable for use on higher temperature machines such as turbines. Proximity probes play an important role in machine shaft vibration, position and speed measurements, providing operators critical information on the rotating plant dynamic performance and bearing condition. t | 01442 876833 e | sales@sensonics.co.uk w | www.sensonics.co.uk Permanent overband magnet models DCO SYSTEMS has announced it has developed equipment sensors that are ready for immediate use. Manufacturing sectors are finding that they need a remote monitoring solution that is easy to deploy, self- installed and ready to gather data within minutes. To meet this demand, DCO Systems says it has created a practical solution that allows engineers to remotely gather valuable information including temperature, pressure, energy usage and detect leaks and system variations in real-time. Moreover, DCO Systems’ equipment sensors are easily retrofitted to existing equipment and are compatible with already in-place systems. “Our sensors are available, adaptable and scale-able,” explains managing director, Andrew Doherty. “We realise that the industry needs a quick and simple solution and we can help.” t| 01285 359059 e| info@dcosystems.co.uk w| https://dcosystems.co.uk/ Remote monitoring solution Maintenance Matters May 2020 www.pwemag.co.uk Plant & Works Engineering | 19 Low-temperature strength Online support & CPD Fully integrated proximity probes
