Extreme lifetime even with difficult materials
Zweibrücken, Germany (8 August 2011) – Originally developed for reprocessing tyres, Pallmann’s “Tiger” single-shaft shredder is increasingly turning out to be a universal machine for numerous applications. The lifetimes of the cutting tools, as well as the output, exceed all original expectations.
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product range with a 9-port version of the OCTOPUS OS20 series. The Hirschmann™ basic software is installed on this layer-2 switch, which meets the requirements of protection class IP67. This software supports both various management and security functions and fast redundancy methods such as HIPER-Ring, MRP and RSTP. The new Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 BASE-TX) have vibration-resistant M12 connections in D-coding. Further features include a robust metal housing and an extended temperature range from -40° to +70° C. The OCTOPUS also meets EMC and fire protection requirements for use in rail vehicles. An E-1 approval with the German Federal Motor Transport Authority has also been applied for. As the switch can be cascaded in any way, decentrally structured automation networks with short transmission paths can be implemented with the respective terminal devices. The OCTOPUS’s redundancy method and a redundant voltage supply guarantee high network availability. 
Despite a significant growth in demand for switches and their increasingly higher performance, Hirschmann™ retains a strong focus on Quality – so that customers can be certain of getting the best possible solutions.
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product range with a digital I/O media module for the MICE family Fast and Gigabit switches. Available with version 7.0 of the "Layer 2 Professional” software this module with four digital inputs and outputs enables MICE Switches to send signals and status messages via the network to be analyzed. An auxiliary output provides 24 VDC voltage with 3W power to control the connected components directly without an additional power source. Further features include IP20 protection class, high shock and vibration resistance and extensive immunity to electrostatic discharges and magnetic fields. The standard version is configured for a temperature range of 0° to +60° C. Two versions with an extended range of -40° to +70° C are also offered, which differ in that one of their PCBs have a conformal coating to protect them against condensation. The I/O Media Module can therefore also be used under extreme climactic ambient conditions.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – June 30, 2011 – SABIC Innovative Plastics today announced that its versatile, high-performance Ultem* polyetherimide (PEI) fiber has found an important new application in high-end work wear and protective clothing. Japan Wool Textile Company, a division of NIKKE Group, is now blending Ultem fiber with wool and other materials to produce yarn, fabrics and garments that offer a unique combination of comfort and protection, including permanent, non-halogenated flame retardance (FR) and excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance. Unlike traditional aramid materials, Ultem fiber can be easily and cost-effectively colored in a wide range of shades using conventional polyester dyeing processes, enabling Japan Wool Textile Company to enhance the aesthetic appeal of its new line. SABIC Innovative Plastics continues to penetrate and grow new market segments and expand the range of applications for its globally proven Ultem resin technology to give customers innovative new options for product differentiation and exceptional performance.
