PRODUCTSSTAUFFs Compact Mobile Hydraulic Tester The STAUFF PPC-04-plus fea- tures robust construction and an oil- resistant rubber coating to withstand impact, vibration, dust and moisture. Designed for use in harsh conditions, mobile tester measures pressure, tem- perature, ? ow rate, frequency and speed in industrial hydraulic systems. Available with either two analog sensor inputs or a CAN interface, measured values can be read quickly and reliably from the multi-line, backlit LCD graphic display. A USB port and software al- lows measurement values to be easily read and transferred to PC, where they can be displayed, analyzed and processed. www.stauffusa.com Net-Logics NavWatch Compass/Course Monitor The NavWatch Dual Compass Monitor and Selector with integrated Course Monitor allow sys- tem redundancy on any gyrocompass combination, enhancing safety and func- tionality while reducing overall cost. Vessels over 500gt are required to carry a Gyrocompass, and must be capable of correcting heading and bearings to true at all times. NavWatch monitors input from any combination of gy- rocompass pairing and alarms when threshold is exceeded, monitors vessel course and alarms when user de? nable threshold is exceeded and provides a combined display of Course and Compass Monitor using an intuitive design. www.net-logic.co.uk Imtechs HVAC on board EGV Bonn Imtech Marine has pro- vided the German Navy vessel (EGV) Bonn with engineer- ing, material delivery, instal- lation and commissioning of the HVAC-system, hot and chilled water plant, the refrig- erating plant for provision- and waste-cooling as well as the chilled water units. Imtech Marine implemented a number of notable innovations for the German Navy. In the fresh air supply of the modular air ? ltration unit for example, Imtech implemented a humidi- ty control with a compulsory emptying of chillers and heat- ers in case of freeze alarm, in order to protect the system. www.imtechmarine.com Tideland Marks 1,000th Racon Milestone Tideland Signal recently dispatched the 1000th SeaBeacon 2 System 6 racon from its Houston facility. With hundreds of earlier versions of the racon in service, SeaBeacon 2 System 6 is the racon most widely speci? ed by global users. One au- thority has calculated the cost of through- life ownership for a Tideland Signal ra- con to be lower than that of other designs and 5% of the initial purchase price, based on trouble-free service life to date of over 15 years. SeaBeacon 2 System 6 is available in three variants, with a number of options to match different applications. www.tidelandsignal.com Tube and Pipe Weld Purge Systems Huntingdon Fusion Tech- niques has reached the Fifth version of its PurgElite range of Tube and Pipe Weld Purg- ing systems for diameters from 1? to 24? diameter inclusive. Suitable for marine industries, shipbuilding, ship repair and offshore industries, PurgElite systems can be used in tube and pipework where the in- ternal surfaces may be polished to ensure minimum en- trapment and low corrosion resistance. With the new in line purge valve and synthetic hose protection, there are no metal parts to scratch tube or pipe surfaces. www.huntingdonfusion.com Jet Edges EDGE X-5 5-Axis Water Jet System Waterjet systems manu- facturer Jet Edge, Inc. has introduced the Jet Edge EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet system cuts complex taper-free and 3D parts from any material. Featuring Jet Edges Permalign EDGE technology, the EDGE X-5 is capable of cutting chamfers, weld bevels and sophisticated 3D parts such as impeller blades. The AquaVision Di Controllers open architecture design gives operators the freedom to ? ne-tune programs from any CAD/CAM/nesting software, utilizing standard G&M code. An Intelligent Work Envelope automatically adjusts depending on the angle of the cut to protect the operator, material, and system components. www.jetedge.com August 201358 MNMN August2013 Layout 50-58.indd 587/23/2013 11:10:01 AM
