Emka hygienic locking systems for food industry and medical engineering

Emka hygienic locking systems for food industry and medical engineering

Emka has extended its online Guidance notes for locks, handles, hinges and gaskets into the specialist areas of Food and Medical/Pharmaceuticals where hardware has to offer a high degree of sealing to cope with high-pressure wash-down cycles. The products covered all display detailed attention to the requirements of maintaining laboratory-style working conditions in large scale production situations, starting with smooth designs to prevent build-up of organic material and to facilitate easy cleaning. These designs are generically executed in stainless steel with a mirror finish to prevent the build-up of biological waste.

IFM delivers quality control without the cost and complications

IFM delivers quality control without the cost and complications

The new PMD laser line-scan profilers from IFM Electronic offer a convenient, cost-effective and easy-to-use solution to the challenge of inline inspection of components and assemblies to detect manufacturing faults. Much more reliable than manual inspection - yet capable of detecting even small and subtle faults - PMD profilers are a fraction of the price of conventional vision systems and can be configured in minutes using just three integrated pushbuttons – no software is required.

More safety in harsh environments

More safety in harsh environments

3D safety systems are a good option for reliably monitoring danger zones. They present a safe alternative, even in harsh environments where e.g. sparks, dirt and dust occur. They are therefore also a solution for applications where previously optical sensors were unable to provide a reliable answer
