Robot programming time reduced from weeks to days
ABB, the global power and automation technologies group, introduces TeachSaver, a new software product that can dramatically reduce robot-programming time from weeks to days - or even hours
This style of gland assembly is also ideal for use when mixed sizes of elements need to pass through a single fitting or when special hole patterns are required.
The new MHM6 is ideally suited to the pressure and vacuum sealing of gradient thermocouples, thermistor probes, tube bundles, or liquid level sensors.
Featuring a flange style rather than a hex cap for ease of assembly, the MHM6 utilises either Grafoil, Teflon, or Viton sealant and can be customised for special hole patterns or sizes.
The assembly is manufactured from stainless steel (AISI grade 316L) and can be used in the temperature range from -240deg C to + 496deg C and with pressures from vacuum to 690 Bar.
The fitting is reusable and easily assembled or replaced in the field.
Conax Buffalo is a leader in the development of engineered solutions for challenging applications in the field of temperature sensing and pressure/vacuum sealing.
Established for over 50 years Conax products are supported by a worldwide network of specialist representatives.
