Is this the Death of the Salesman?
Britain is the biggest online shopping nation in the developed world Consumers in the UK are using their devices to shop more than ever. Figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that six out of ten British adults use the internet to buy products such as food, clothing, music, holidays, engineering products and services. This is twice the average of the OECD’s 34 member states, which include the US, Germany, Australia and France. On average, just three out of ten people in OECD nations buy goods or services online.

according to IMRG, a body which represents the UK’s online retailers. “We are seeing a change in the way our clients are sourcing Variable Speed Drives and Motors today”, says Kevin Brown, Managing Director of Quantum Controls. The UK’s leading supplier of ABB Drives and Motors since 1994. Engineers and procurement professionals all have internet access today and buying online is becoming a preferred method. In the past it has been a problem as company credit cards would not generally be issued, hence making an online transaction impossible. But this is not the case today even if a company credit card is not available buyers can purchase through Quantum’s innovative website using PayPal or the traditional official order number method making it the easy option for buyers of engineering goods and services. You don’t have to be an existing client either simply place on order online with Quantum and the order will be processed. “It’s never been easier to order ABB Drives and Motors online, full technical specification, part numbers, schematic dimension drawings and
net prices are accessible in seconds” says Brown. “Our clients have more pressure on their time than ever before so buying online provides a quick and reliable way to shop in our industry; it is inevitable that the buying methods within engineering follow society as whole”.

IWMA 14th annual conference: Call for Papers out now Last year in October the IWMA board of directors announced that the 14th International Water Mist Conference will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on 22nd and 23rd October 2014. Now the call for papers has been published and can either be downloaded from the IWMA’s homepage or requested from the IWMA’s office in Hamburg. The procedure as well as the schedule have been overhauled for this event. That means that those wishing to give a presentation will have to hand in their abstract by 31st May 2014. The IWMA’s scientific council will then check the submissions and on 30th June 2014 the speakers will be notified if their topics have been accepted. From this year onwards they will also be given a template to standardize the incoming papers. By starting this process at this stage, the IWMA wishes to take away some of the pressure, to give the speakers more time to prepare, possibly also to attract new speakers and thus to make the conference even more interesting and attractive”, says Bettina McDowell, IWMA association secretary.

Sensor Protection
White Paper

Sensor Protection Protecting sensors simply and securely Sensors are used everywhere in the world. Whether they are battery driven or powered from the grid, it is important to have suitable protection for electronics. For this purpose, SCHURTER offers such SMD fuses for primary and secondary protection. These fuses stand out due to their compact design, low power dissipation and a tight time tolerance for tripping.
Smart meters provide one of many applications for sensors (Source: shutterstock)
Secondary protection Many sensors are fed with power independent of the power grid. Instead, they have either a battery or get the required energy from an autonomous system, for example a solar system. In order to function in such autonomous systems, sensors must meet equally high requirements, which among other things, include maintenance requirements and the desired service life. Accordingly, battery operated devices should consume as little power as possible so as to achieve a long, maintenance-free operating time. Further, effective overcurrent protection is essential for providing the necessary protection of sensitive components in case of a malfunction. Among the safety-related technical aspects are a short, precise response time and high reliability in both low and high temperatures of course
over the entire service life of the sensor. A compact form factor and a good price/ performance ratio are additional key criteria.
Smoke detector reliability and long life are important properties (Source: shutterstock) Because batteries in autonomous systems have very high power density, a short circuit can be all it takes to start a fire. To prevent damage to electronics and the environment, overcurrent protection is thus indispensible. This can be implemented both with an active solution as well as with a simple fuse. Here fuses offer clear advantages: compared to active solutions they are more reliable and take up less space. In addition, the latestgeneration fuses are convincing because of very low power dissipation and precise tripping characteristics.
The USx line from SCHURTER — low-loss and precise acting In order to meet the requirements of sensor protection in an optimal way, SCHURTER developed the USx line for overcurrent protection in secondary circuits. The USx line consists of six types (see Table 1) in various SMD sizes from 0402 to 1206 and with rated currents from 50 mA to 25 A. Considerable breaking capacity as large as 600 A at rated voltages of up to 125 VAC/VDC make the chip fuses in the USx line unique in the market. The partially gold-plated contacts also have a positive impact on usability, storage life and the electrical qualities of USx fuses. The special design of these chip fuses also results in a low voltage drop. For example, it is only 87 mV for the 0.2 A design of the USFF
Circuit Protection
1206 at rated voltage. For the 1 A version of the USF 0402, the voltage drop at rated voltage is a low 65 mV, a feature which no other product on the market claims. A further aspect that makes the USx line special is the tripping time. For the USFF 1206 and for a tenfold rated current, the UL 248-14 standard prescribes a tripping time between 0.1 and 1 millisecond; the SCHURTER fuse reacts with a typical tripping time as short as 0.5 milliseconds with a tolerance band of from 0.4 to 0.6 milliseconds (see figure 1). These performance characteristics also do not change even under high pulsed loads such as those that can arise in an environment with electronically commuted motors. 10000

Sensors of various types help monitor and control processes. They relieve people of tasks, particularly in dangerous environments, and simplify work processes. Often sensors are equipped with a sort of "intelligence" in the form of electronics that process the sensor signal. Further, many sensors have a communications interface so they can transfer data over a network to a central computer. The application range of sensors is equally large and continues to grow: smoke alarms, motion detectors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, level detectors, smart meters as well as flow and volume metering are just a few of the application areas, whereby this list could continue indefinitely.

Safety in UK rail The UK has one of the safest rail networks in Europe, but further improvements are always needed. The latest health and safety report from the Office of Rail Regulation shows that in 2013 there was a notable 6.4% reduction in the overall mainline system safety risk and evidence of a “continuing improvement” to mainline workforce safety. However, despite the country’s positive rail health and safety record, it is crucial that companies do not allow complacency to set in. That’s why the Safety in Rail newsletter, produced by McGinley Support Services, is one of the country’s leading sources of health and safety rail infrastructure information and best practice advice. The newsletter is published quarterly and is a widely respected source of health and safety news and analysis for the UK’s rail infrastructure market. McGinley is well known as a recruitment specialist for the rail sector, so it uses its expert knowledge – speaking to clients and partners – to inform its newsletter. The latest issue features: A review of a safety and compliance workshop as part of the Track Safety Alliance Information about driving approval and driver policy An overview of Network Rail’s Sentinel 2 system So if you’re interested in the importance of safety in the infrastructure market, sign up to the newsletter today.

Automate or Die! Now is a good time to be involved in manufacturing in the UK. Not only are we seeing growth but confidence throughout industry. Yet in the battle to constantly compete in globalised markets, it is essential that we address weaknesses in our industrial base as well as celebrating strengths. Growth has been partly internally driven and assisted by positive rhetoric, and increasing action, from HM government. UK manufacturers have a track record of competitively innovating for both product and process development and that they have made strides in the application of lean engineering for efficiency. However, in the battle to compete in globalised markets, it is essential that we recognise the weaknesses in our industrial base as well as the strengths. When it comes to the flaws in UK manufacturing, its poor investment in capital equipment, especially 20|

Sensor Protection
White Paper
schurter.com/downloads www.schurter.com/downloads Primary protection Sensor applications can in some cases be attached to the power grid. This applies especially for those with more intelligence. Examples include smart power meters that are used in a "smart grid". In places where sensors are connected to the power grid, they need primary protection that can handle short circuits and grid spikes such as those that can arise from a lightning strike close to the equipment. Here, too, fuses are very well suited for protecting sensors. They offer the same advantages as protection in secondary circuits: precise response time, reliable tripping
across a wide temperature range during the entire service life of the fuse, low power consumption, compact design and an attractive price/performance ratio. Today, fuses in the SMD form factor have no problem achieving the performance of the well-known 5x20 cartridge fuses and can replace them.
The UMx line from SCHURTER — compact with high performance The UMT-H, UMF 250 and UMT 250 SMD fuses were developed for primary protection on SMD circuit boards. They are designed for rated voltages as large as 277 VAC,
respectively 250 VDC and are available with various current ratings (see Table 2). With a high breaking capacity extending up to 1500 A, the UMx line offers the ideal solution when dealing with high fault currents. The cuboidal design of the UMx line meets all the requirements of SMD technology as regards processing. Based on their encapsulated qualities, they can also be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The model UMT 250 is also available with pre-attached clips.

Cleanroom Pressure Cleanroom integrity depends on three parameters - pressure, temperature and humidity. Pressure is perhaps the most important for cleanroom safety. It is the differential pressure that is measured between the cleanroom and the external atmosphere and this differential pressure is often low, often below 0.5 millibar (0.2 inch water). Critical pressure measurements require accurate, reliable pressure sensors. The Protran® PR3202 is designed for low level pressure measurement in all type of cleanroom, including those classed as hazardous areas. Fully temperature compensated and EMC protected,

these pressure transmitters combine precise pressure measurement with the robustness required for the harshest environments. ESI Technology design and manufacture – so options are almost infinite. Ultra low levels can be made to custom requirements and there is a choice of housing depending on environment. Service and calibration can be done in situ thanks to access by the front covers. This is important because sensitivity of the measurement and sensor technology mean that calibration in the laboratory is invalid in the cleanroom.

Test and measurement instruments will need to be calibrated for performance enhancement, so that reliable and accurate readings can be taken. Is the instrument doing what it should be doing? Naturally, the sensors within an instrument can drift over time, some faster than others. The result of sensor drift means that the instrument will require calibration to ‘tune up’ and have ‘adjustments’ where necessary. It is also important that the whole system needs to be calibrated and not just the sensor itself, as any associated electronics are just as likely to change characteristics as the sensor.
Why is calibration so important? Calibration tests are required to check that the instrument’s readings adhere to the manufacturer’s performance VSHFLîFDWLRQ $V PHQWLRQHG DERYH regular calibration is seen as good practice and can help an organisation

Arbil Lifting Launch New Platinum Range
www.arbil.co.uk
The nationwide one stop-shop for lifting gear components and fabrications; Arbil Lifting has now launched the new Crosby Platinum Line range. Arbil’s strength in manufacturing and servicing lifting gear products has led to it becoming a preferred supplier for the new Crosby® Platinum 8/10 Chain Fittings Range. The new range incorporates both Grade 80 & 100 components, with grade 100 20-25% stronger than its grade 80 counterpart. These new grade 80 & 100 components have the added benefit of dual chain use, but most importantly the grade 100 offers the most economical and effective solution when compared to competitor grade 100 solutions, due to its compatibility and cross use with grade 80 chains. Willy Caubergs, Managing Director Crosby Europe, comments, “We decided to develop the Platinum Line to bridge the gap between premium ranges of lifting components, such as our Kuplex® range and the budget brands also available on the market. Our new Platinum line has been developed by the same engineers as our Kuplex® range and is being produced within the same fully equipped UK premises. The added benefit of these Platinum components is that they have dual chain use, meaning the grade 100 chain type can be used with both the 80 & 100 components. As with Kuplex®; all of our Platinum Line components are individually proof tested to 2.5 times the WLL.’ ‘All components in the Platinum range are quenched and forged from alloy steel, which include Quic-Check angle and deformation indicators as standard. The new line meets European chain standard: EN1677 & EN818, with full traceability and certification of each of our product lines accessible. At Crosby® we pride ourselves on the highest levels of quality control procedures being followed and this is part of the reason why Arbil make the perfect partner.” Dave Nicholls, Arbil Lifting’s General Manager explains why Arbil was chosen as a preferred supplier, “We have been selling and servicing Crosby’s Kuplex® range of lifting components for over 20 years now and during this time we have established a close working relationship with The Crosby
Group. We keep large stock holdings of Crosby’s products, so we can quickly cater for component requests.’ Nicholls continues, ‘The over 20 year workings with Crosby®, not only mean we have established relationships with the Crosby® team, but also that our engineers, service teams and sales staff are extremely familiar with the product groups available and as the new Platinum range is manufactured using the same techniques and is even produced on the same premises as Kuplex®, it was an extremely quick and logical process to utilise our staff to train up on the new line.” The new Platinum Line makes up the most comprehensive range of Grade 80 & 100 chain fitting components available and includes all of the high performance properties that are expected from Crosby®. As The Crosby Groups largest seller of both Kuplex® and now The Platinum Line, Arbil Lifting is well positioned to facilitate bulk and varied orders and also offer product advice. For further details around The Platinum Line or to place orders simply contact the Arbil team on: 0845 600 8007.
