Quality Australian-made static overbelt magnet

Pulling large tramps off an Overbelt Magnet or Tramp Iron Magnets, as they are sometimes called is a task in itself. There is a high risk of hand injury as the metal is often sharp, and a lot of force is required to remove it from the magnet.

MSA has offered easy-to-discharge Tramp Iron Magnets for many years now with growing demand since the 2016 Report “In Safe Hands” The State of Hand Protection in Australia, compiled by the National Safety Council of Australia Foundation and Ansell.

Our Stainless-steel drawers make cleaning operations simple and safe. The drawer can be easily pulled out from under the magnet, and the collected tramps will fall from the magnetic field for an easy and safe collection. Quality bearings are used to prevent the collected tramps from pinning the drawer to the magnet, and a stopper is in place to prevent the drawer from opening too far and falling.

Imported magnets trying to copy our concept usually have more rudimentary designs without bearings and stoppers. These basic copies often result in the captured tramp pinning their drawer to the bottom of the magnet. MSA has seen drawers that open over the belt which discharge back into the burden, instead of being discharged off to the side of the conveyor belt, as our Overbelts do.

A truly dependable means of tramp metal extraction:

• These Australian-made units are installed over conveyors to remove unwanted iron and steel items, such as machinery damaging roof bolts, bucket teeth, or product contaminating items like fencing wire, screws, staples, and other steel items. • Eyelets are rated for shear loads allowing flexibility in your install. • All MSA units conform to current engineering standards and best practices. • Large stockholding, rapid delivery of spares and components.

Manufactured in Australia, the Static Over-belt Suspension Magnets are highquality and durable machines. They are designed to provide low maintenance and effective metal separation. Protect yourself and others from injury with our quality, easy, and safe-to-discharge magnet from MSA Magnets.

Flexible EMC/VSD cables and accessories

Treotham Automation have a complete range of VSD/EMC cables and cable glands to meet all your requirements. All of the EMC/VSD products are produced in Europe to the highest standards.

The Treoflex TA6 range is a VSD cable with UV stabilised special transparent orange outer sheath and cross-linked XLPE core insulation to guarantee the maximum carrying capacity is achieved, while at the same time maintaining a low cable capacitance in comparison with cables with a PVC insulation.

The specially constructed Treoflex TA6 cables have a double screen made up of tinned copper braid and 100 per cent aluminium tape and are used to supply power to motors from frequency converters while maintaining full electromagnetic compatibility. They are suitable for both fixed installations and moveable connections in industrial equipment, process lines and machines operating in dry and damp rooms.

The standard cable stock ranges from 1.5sqm up to 240sqm. From 6mm² to 240mm² the cables utilise the three split earth design which features a symmetrical 3 core design improving EMC compliance compared to the 4 core version. The three split earth design also reduces the outer diameter of the cable allowing for easier termination into cable glands.

The range of Ultra VSD cables from LAPP has a black outer sheath with a double screen made up of tinned copper braid and 100 per cent copper tape wrap. Our standard stock ranges from 1.5mm2 to 120mm2.

Treotham also has a full range of EMC control cables with number coded cores and a clear outer sheath starting at 2x0.5mm2 and going up to 25G2.5mm2.

Treotham offers a full range of Lapp EMC cable glands that perfectly compliment the EMC cables. The SKINTOP MS-M BRUSH brass cable gland with double lamella gasket is faster, has a low resistance 360° screen contact, and is simple to assemble. The SKINTOP MS-SC-M brass cable gland with low-resistance screen contact is a highly conductive, flexible EMC contact that is also easy to assemble.

Treotham also supplies an extensive range of other cables including control cables, power cables, data cables, crane cables, single cores, high temperature cables, bus/Devicenet cables, solar cables, instrumentation cables and chainflex cables for moving applications. With a full range of Lapp cables and accessories, Treotham offers a total solution for any application.

BST presents iBase’s AGS102T ultra-compact IoT gateway edge computing system

Backplane Systems Technology is proud to present iBase’s AGS102T is an ultracompact IoT gateway edge computer powered by Intel’s Apollo Lake Atom x7/x5 series, Pentium N4200, and Celeron N3350 SoCs.

It enables seamless and secure data flow to the cloud in IoT-focused edge computing applications with enterprise-grade security, and easy manageability.

The fanless AGS102T offers maximum reliability and longevity support, featuring a wide-range operating temperature of -40°C to +70°C and dimensions of 160 x 110 x 44mm. It is suitable for space-constrained applications in harsh environments that require devices equipped with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology. The system comes with an extra advanced security TPM 2.0 chip to provide a high level of hardware-based security. By using TPM together with Windows 10, it carries out cryptographic operations for access control and authentication. TPM enables integrity measurements during system boot and makes TPM-based keys unavailable outside the TPM to prevent attacks and authorization value guesses.

The rugged AGS102T features 4GB DDR3L-1866 DO-DIMM, a 64GB MLC industrial-grade mSATA SSD, dual display ports (DVI-I and DisplayPort), 4x USB 3.0, 2x GbE, 4x COM, a DC-in terminal block for 9V~36V input, GPIO 4-in & 4-out multi-purpose interface and over/under/reverse voltage protection. Expansion is available with a full-size Mini PCI-E, a 2230 M.2 E-Key socket for WLAN & BT, a 3042 M.2 B-Key socket for WWAN & SSD, an mSATA socket (Mini PCI-E), and a 2242 M.2 B-Key socket for mSATA SSD.

Key features:

• Intel Atom x7-E3950/x5-E3940/x5-E3930 & Pentium N4200 / Celeron N3350 series processors; • GPIO 4-in & 4-out with isolation function; • over/under/reverse voltage protection; • wide-range operating temperature from -40°C to +70°C; • 9V~36V DC wide-range power input; • supports DIN-Rail and wall mount; • supports TPM 2.0; • 4x RS232/422/485 serial ports; and • rugged, compact, and fanless design.
