Rack Stores Frequently Used Shop Tools
Guardair Corp. has debuted the Quick- Select tool rack, for organizing frequently used shop tools and keeping them within easy reach. Made from heavy-duty aluminum, the rack features an array of slots and holes sized to accommodate the most pop- ular tools, including L wrenches, dead-blow hammers, screwdrivers and safety air guns. Also featured: a 1.75-in.-dia. hole lined with a plastic bushing for storing sensitive instru- ments such as tool holders or gauges.
The QuickSelect, with a slim profile (12 by 5 by 3 in.) that minimizes intrusion into active workspaces, is available in two versions—with eight holes for custom mounting, or with dual, high-strength mag- nets for simple mounting on steel surfaces. Guardair Corp.: www.guardair.com
Ultrasonic Sensors
Designed for
Application Variety
The new UCC*-50GK-series ultrasonic sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs, intended for distance measurement in a variety of applications, uses ultrasonic pulses to measure the distance to the target and reports information through one of three sensor outputs. It can be integrated into an application without a PLC, with simple incorporation into an existing engineering environment via UART, LIN-Bus or PWM, according to company officials. It also features a power-save mode and is opti- mized for battery operation, making it ideal for wireless communication requiring longer operation times.
A compact, threaded housing design
allows mounting in confined containers, and the sensor’s pre-stored sound profiles enable users to choose an ideal beam width for restricted space. Three unique beam patterns and a sensing range to 4 m provide flexibility to adapt to any space constraint.
It features an IP66/67 rating, with a protective film preventing contaminants from adhering to the transducer, and an
ambient-temperature range of -25 to 70 C with integrated temperature compen- sation adds to the sensor’s durability and ability to function indoors or outdoors.
The series is designed for an abundance of application scenarios, including as a collision-avoidance device for smaller auto- mated guided vehicles and feeding robots. Pepperl+Fuchs: www.pepperl-fuchs.com
