Pneumatic Rotary Hammer Drill
CS Unitec's SDS Plus Air Rotary Hammer is safer than similar electric hammer drills in hazardous atmospheres and wet environments, making it ideal for use in utilities. The SDS Plus Air Rotary Hammer is ATEX certified for working in EX zones 112GcT6. The drill includes a water-flushing attachment for suppression of sparks and dust.
The Model 2-2404-0010 Pneumatic Rotary Hammer has 0.7 hp, and drills anchor and through holes up to 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) in diameter in concrete and masonry. CS Unitec's tool uses SDS-Plus solid carbide-tipped masonry drill bits up to 1 inch (2.54 cm) and SDS-Plus carbide core drill bits up to 2.5 inches. It delivers 3000 blows per minute. It can also be converted to straight rotary drilling with 625 rpm for steelor wood. It drills steel up to 0.50-inch (1.27-cm) diameter and wood up to 0.75 inches (1.9 cm).
Quality features of this pneumatic tool include a safety clutch that protects against overloading and jamming. The maintenance-free gearhead has permanent lubrication and sealed gears. It operates at 90 psi and uses 21 ft

Fiber-Optic Temperature Measurement Systems
LumaSense Technologies has released its Luxtron 800 series fiber-optic temperature measurement systems for temperature monitoring in harsh EMI, RF, MRI, microwave and high-voltage environments.
The Luxtron 800 series are industrial-grade fiber-optic temperature-monitoring systems configurable with either one or two measurement channels at 4-Hz or 10-Hz measurement speeds. The table-top Luxtron 812 version features an easy-to-read two-line LED display and is encased in a tamper-proof metal enclosure. The systems have RS-232 or analog output ports for downloading of data and integration into industrial control schemes. The 800 Series board-level systems are an easily integrated component into OEM products where accuracy, low or no drift, and fast measurement speed are required.

32-Port Substation Switch
GarrettCom Inc.'s newest convection-cooled managed Ethernet switch, the Magnum 6K32FC, offers up to 16 standard fiber ports or 8 gigabit ports in a rack-mount space-efficient package.
For use in fiber-rich power-utility substation applications, the 6K32FC supports double the number of standard fiber ports and double the number of gigabit ports as the Magnum 6K32TRC switch. A typical application may include fiber connectivity to IEDs, RTUs, HMI computers, routers, video-surveillance cameras, smaller field switches, and other managed switches including multiple gigabit-backbone interconnections and redundancy.
The environmentally friendly 6K32FC uses techniques such as internal heat barriers, multiple heatsinks throughout the unit, extra cooling space and premium high-efficiency components to optimize cooling efficiency. The switch comes with comprehensive LAN software support and network management security, and is available in two versions: MNS-6K basic and MNS-6K-SECURE. The four configuration slots in the Magnum 6K32FC support more than 30 port modules, offering a comprehensive variety of port types and combinations, including Power over Ethernet.

PCS Active Harmonic Filter
Schneider Electric's newest model of the Square D AccuSine PCS Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) provides an effective means to mitigate harmonics, reduce process-related voltage fluctuations, and improve electrical equipment operating life and distribution system capacity.
The new model includes the Telemecanique Magelis XBT-G 3.8-inch (9.7-cm) graphical touch-screen terminal, a small and compact HMI terminal that is powerful enough to support high-end HMI applications to cater to customer needs. The compact, yet highly visible 320- by 240-pixel Magelis XBT-GT touch screen supports multiple languages and font sizes. It integrates Ethernet; can be connected on Uni-Telway/Modbus, Modbus TCP/IP; and includes an alarm function with fault logging for better traceability.

Low-Profile Digital Load/Force Sensors
Loadstar Sensors Inc.'s iLoad Pro Series digital load/force sensors are available in capacities ranging from 10 lbs to 25,000 lbs (4.5 kgs to 11,340 kgs) to measure compressive and tensile loads at accuracies up to 0.05% of full scale.
iLoad Pro sensors offer ease of use with digital USB or analog 0- to 5-Vdc output without the need for additional signal conditioning. The iLoad Pro Series sensors are designed for use in heavy-duty or industrial environments, and have a rugged female-threaded mounting structure for easy attachment and improved cable-strain relief.
The iLoad Pro Digital USB sensors are designed to plug directly into the USB port of a PC, and enable users to measure loads, forces or weights without need for any additional signal conditioning, data acquisition system or special software. The sensor appears as a virtual COM port on a PC enabling a user to directly read data using simple ASCII commands with any terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal. Users can also easily write their own Windows applications with the open command set that comes standard with all digital load sensors.
