Trash Compactors – PS61 Series Pressure Switch from Gems Sensors & Controls

 

Trash compactors are one way that we can improve the environment by reducing the volume of trash that goes into a landfill.  Smaller bags, smaller loads means that dumpsters can hold more trash and smaller loads entering the landfill.  This also yields fewer times the dumpster needs to be emptied which equals less use of fuel to dump the load. A pressure switch is needed to monitor the amount of hydraulic pressure in the compactor’s system.

Q&A With HELU: Robotic Dress Packs

 

Robots are an integral part of the manufacturing industry worldwide to the extent that they are indispensable. In production, robots and cobots frequently encounter each other, working and interacting side by side with humans, but also performing tasks independently. The latest industrial robots move in a three-dimensional space and can therefore perform a wide variety of tasks. In order to ensure optimum system performance, the use of a dress pack is required to keep a robot running as frequently as possible. Regional Sales Manager Gordon Post discusses some of the questions he hears in the field about robotic cable protection systems.
