Energy chain specialist, igus invites companies to enter the vector award 2014 competition, a biennial competition that recognising innovative and creative applications for energy chains, and is open to entries from companies all over the world.
‘JetBlack’, the blower powered personnel de-dusting unit from ACI, has been re-modelled, and upgraded. The new unit is more compact yet has a greater air output without any increase in energy consumption.
DE Controls, the manufacturing arm of Hylec-APL, has developed a range of hinged door enclosures that offer similar degrees of impact resistance to metal enclosures of similar sizes, with the added advantage of lower unit costs and quicker installation.
Rittal air/water heat exchangers are capable of cooling the air in an enclosure to a temperature lower than that of the ambient air. Heat to be removed is transferred to a water circuit and may be conveyed to a remote location before being dissipated.
igus has developed five specialist tools for opening its energy chains, cutting the manual work time to open a metre length of chain from 33 seconds to within just 2 seconds.
