cpp INSTRUMENTATION, CONTROL, AUTOMATION Intrinsically safe augmented reality device for helmets Hands free when working in explosive areas The HMT-1Z1 head mounted tablet is a powerful head-worn computer that is controlled by voice commands. This augmented reality device was very well received by international visitors to the Achema trade fair in Frankfurt. With its intuitive hands-free operation, the HMT is ideal for companies seeking to digitally transform work and production processes. water-resistant and dustproof while MIL- STD-810G indicates that it has passed a drop test from a height of 2 m. Picture: I.safe Mobile The HMT-1Z1 head mounted tablet is a powerful head-worn computer that is controlled by voice commands Automation and the Internet of Things make it necessary for modern mobile solutions to also be used in safety-critical environments. I.safe Mobile is a specialist for mobile communication devices that guarantee safe use in hazardous areas. The company incorporates all international stand ards into its product development and is itself a member of relevant standardisation committees. Its products meet the Atex and IECEx standards for explosion protection as well as the high performance and communication requirements for use in in - creasingly digitised and networked work and production processes. To enable hands-free installation and servicing, I.safe mobile developed the HMT-1Z1 head mounted tablet in cooperation with Silicon Valley company Realware. The HMT-1Z1 is an intuitive and completely hands-free, head-worn device for work in zone 1 and 21 hazardous areas. The Android computer, which can be integrated into all common helmets, features voice control, a powerful processor and a high-resolution microdisplay that adapts individually to the line of sight. Certified to Atex or CSA Class I, II, III Division 1, the HMT-1Z1 is perfectly suited for tasks in the oil, gas and chemical industries. The IP 66 rating means it is Explosion-proof mobile devices I.safe mobile also presented another series of robust mobile devices for zones 1 and 21 – the IS520.1 industrial smartphone – at the Achema show in addition to the augmented reality solution. Besides the important Atex and IECEx standards for explosion protection it also meets the high performance and communication requirements for use in networked industries. Apart from robust smartphones the portfolio currently includes the IS910.1 Tablet with Android 8.0 Oreo. This combines the ruggedness of an IP 68-certified tablet with Atex and approvals for safe use in po - tentially explosive environments. The 8" glass capacitive Rugdisplay with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA, 16:10 aspect ratio) works with a Qualcomm 2.0 GHz octa-core processor, which is powered by an 8400 mAh battery – sufficient for even long periods of operation. Support for the LTE band and current Wi-Fi standards ensure a fast connection to the Internet. The robust tablet can also be controlled via Bluetooth 4.1 LE or NFC. The main memory of the IS910.1 has 3 GB and the 32 GB internal data memory can be expanded by a further 32 GB with a microSD card. The almost identical IS910.2 is available for the less explosive zones 2 and 22. www.cpp-net.com Online search: cpp0318isafe 16 cpp 03-2018
cpp TRADE FAIR REVIEW Pills packaging according to Industry 4.0 GMP compliant hotmelt device Picture: Marchesini Group The robotic blister line Integra 320 from Marchesini Group is equipped with the 5-camera-infeed system Valida. This ensures the multi-vision control of the shape, thickness and colour of the pills. Additionally, the system has an NIR active ingredient recognition system. Process monitoring and control is carried out by means of a Scada system. This system checks the mechanical and functional state of the machine by constantly monitoring the quality parameters and informs the operator accordingly. Furthermore, a predictive mainte - nance system was added to pinpoint possible mechanical problems and suggest appropriate scheduled maintenance actions. www.cpp-net.com Online search: cpp0318marchesini Picture: Romaco Romaco Innojet has come with the GMP compliant hot melt coating device specifically for use in the pharmaceutical industry. The IHD series was designed for coating and granulating pharmaceutical products with hot greases and waxes. The design of the device allows CIP processes. All sealing points, gaps and enclosed spaces were eliminated for this reason. The hot melt coating flows through straight tubes to prevent any build-up of product residues. All product-contacted surfaces are positioned in such a way that they are fully visible and suitable for swab testing. To allow precise and uniform heat distribution, the hot melt applicator was designed as a heatable monobloc. The melting container, dosing unit and valve block are included in the same thermal cycle. Hot melt is fed with a pulsation-free dosing piston. www.cpp-net.com Online search: cpp0318romaco Measures even poor flow profiles Picture: Schmidt Technology The measuring principle of thermal anemometry has been integrated into the Schmidt inline mass flow sensor with Multi-Point-Measurement (MPM). By using the MPM technology with its radial arrangement of four measuring points even poor flow profiles can be measured reliably and more accurately. Two parallel positioned sensor carriers integrated into the measuring section of the sensor carry the four high precision and fully independent flow sensor elements. A temperature sensor element, used to determine the air/gas temperature has been placed on a third carrier positioned between them.The inline sensor with MPM determines the flow ve - locity and the sensor sends out a linear current/pulse signal for the mass flow. No additional pressure or temperature measurement of the medium is required. www.cpp-net.com Online search: cpp0318schmidt FCC catalyst for bottoms upgrading Mobile leak detectors BASF announced the commercial launch of Boroflex, the latest evolution of its residuum oil fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts for the refining market. Boroflex is based on the Boron-based technology (BBT), and is designed to optimise refiners’ bottoms upgrading and distillate yields by providing maximum nickel contamination passivation. Boroflex commercial trials have confirmed its ability to deliver better bottoms upgrading and high distillate yields that increase refiners’ profitability to meet the market demand for refined products. It is proven to deliver other BBT-related benefits, such as nickel passivation, and lower coke and hydrogen. www.cpp-net.com Online search: cpp0318basf Picture: Pfeiffer Vacuum The mobile leak detectors SM 390 and 392 from Pfeiffer Vacuum are fully Semi S2 compliant. Leak testing even at large components in clean environments is performed by using a dry frictionless backing pump and a high vacuum pump. Both leak detectors share the same platform and are ergonomically designed with convenient size and height, a secondary handle in the front, a fully rotatable, removable display and an inlet in the front for easy connection to test ports. Thanks to a wide, clear colour touch display panel, an integrated toolbox with modular compartments and storage space for vacuum bellows, the leak detectors are user-friendly. www.cpp-net.com Online search: cpp0318pfeiffer cpp 03-2018 17
