Webinar: Verifying De-energization – Time to Get Serious

Keep your employees safe – verify the de-energization of equipment! Keeping employees safe at work has to be responsibility number one for any company and yet electrical incidents continue to occur yearly despite awareness campaigns and best efforts. A number of these incidents occur due to unintended contact with energized conductors and one root cause could be the standard Test Before Touch approach that relies on using a meter and opening the electrical cabinet door. With changes to NFPA70E and CSAZ462 introducing a new product designation – absence of voltage tester – I-Gard has developed a product that is in full compliance with all requirements and whose application could reduce electrical injuries.

ROLEC: Compare Diecast Enclosures With Built-in EMC Shielding

Diecast aluminium enclosures are much better at dealing with radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) than their plastic counterparts. Aluminium enclosures can provide some degree of inherent RFI/EMI shielding due to the conductive properties of the metal. But RFI/EMI can still affect the equipment. The shielding effectiveness of a metal enclosure depends on various factors.

Siemens Offers Optimized Control Panel Construction
to Machine Tool Builders

Panel building on machine tools is no longer as simple as wiring a few components and calling it a day. Now, there are more deadlines, cost pressures, standards, new directives, plus an increasing pressure to innovate. Besides commonly encountered problems related to time, cost, compliance and quality, there is also an increased degree of automation in the pre-fabrication of cables and the automated production of sheet metal parts. In addition to the mechanical design and development of the automation concept, planning of the electrical power supply and distribution is the third engineering discipline involved in the production of a new machine.
