It's the scales that count
A new range of industrial counting scales suits the needs of a variety of industries where parts counting is essential for inventory control, packaging checks and component handling.
Alarming performance from weighing scales
Adam Equipment has introduced a new range of industrial weighing scales to suit the needs of a wide variety of industries from building supplies to electronics manufacturing.
Trevor Nicholls, Lab-Impex Systems Sales and Service Manager, commented: "We have designed this unit in anticipation of the more stringent safety regulations coming into place for the most demanding nuclear environments".
"The modularity of this new range also ensures that users of our new CMS-Gamma, can upgrade to the CMS-Gamma-SIL should they, in future, be designated a SIL rated area".
A compact, mains-powered unit the CMS-Gamma-SIL is designed specifically for installed applications, but can also be used with a transportable frame or trolley to provide temporary monitoring during decommissioning or to supplement permanently installed monitors during site maintenance procedures; providing essential, reliable measurement of gamma radiation levels to personnel.
This versatile unit can also supply interlock control in hot areas.
The unit supports a wide range of detectors such as GM, ion chambers and scintillation counters, which can be installed at distances of up to 1000m from the CMS station.
To ensure maximum user safety, the unit continues to monitor even when power loss occurs, for a period up to one hour.
All system parameters may be passcode and key switch protected and can be modified and read using the local intuitive keypad and display or can be updated and read remotely via RS485/RS232 and TCP/IP web enabled interfaces.
