CF-19 Zone 2 Toughbook

The convertible Toughbook CF-19 can be used either as conventional laptop or as handy Tablet-PC. It is designed to go places that other notebooks just cannot go. The rugged device is capable of withstanding bumps, drops, dust and water and now with new Zone 2 ATEX certification makes mobile working possible in hazardous environments.

iGAS100 Universal Gas Detection System

The iGAS100 series of gas detectors are designed to provide an accurate, cost effective and reliable gas detection solution. The range incorporates a number of sensing technologies, each of which can be utilised in a variety of enclosure options to provide the most effective detection solution. Utilising microprocessor technology the iGAS100 gives a stable process signal output, and allows for a 4-20mA or digital addressable output signal.

Leonova™ Infinity marks a decisive advance in machine condition monitoring

• unique machine diagnostic functions
• precision line laser alignment and balancing
• select what you need approach
• optimal ergonomic design
• revolutionary economic terms

SPM has the organisation and the know-how to increase the availability and profitability of your production equipment. Knowing that your situation is special, we gave Leonova Infinity a comprehensive range of functions and developed a new system of financing condition monitoring.

3 West North (3WN) is one of the newest buildings on the campus, built in 2005 to house a number of research laboratories as part of the Department of Physics. It includes drawing towers for making photonic crystal fibres, a 200-seater lecture theatre and two general teaching classrooms for 100 and 30 people, as well as various labs with equipment including lasers, lathes and furnaces. This vital research, however, is energy intensive, and the building has an annual electricity bill of £70,000.

Within the Department of Estates, significant investment has been made in improving the energy monitoring of buildings such as this, and through the Our Big Energy Challenge project, a departmental energy champion has been trained and now acts as a point of contact for the Energy & Environment team.

Focusing on solutions: MAINTAIN 2009

In 2009, MAINTAIN, the International Trade Fair for Industrial Maintenance, will be held in the halls of Munich's M,O,C, Event Center for the fifth time from October 13 – 15. Since it was founded in the autumn of 2005, MAINTAIN has met with growing success and developed into the leading maintenance exhibition in Europe. MAINTAIN is the marketplace for impetus, strategies and service concepts in the sector for industrial maintenance. It is the industry's most important gathering, and it brings together all decision-makers in the manufacturing and processing industry who use the international trade fair as a business and communications platform. With a common goal: to promote innovations and service solutions in close dialog.
 
As both a reflection of and a source of momentum to the maintenance industry, MAINTAIN is constantly being developed together with leading maintenance experts based on the latest market influences and industry requirements. Norbert Bargmann, Managing Director of Messe München GmbH, explains: "MAINTAIN's emphasizes solutions that translate into concrete competitive advantages and factors of success. Maintenance management and related services are becoming increasingly important in the maintenance industry, so in addition to high-quality components and special solutions, more and more companies rely on complete and system solutions. That is why we and leading industry representatives decided to restructure the fair's exhibition sectors."
 

The ANALEX range of Ferrous Debris Monitors from Kittiwake provide the most accurate means of detecting and measuring ferrous wear debris in lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, and greases irrespective of particle size. The rugged, compact and stable monitors deliver retrievable data quickly and simply, ensuring fast, accurate and consistent management of oil condition samples.

The range is ideal for all industrial sectors from power plants, to mines and quarries, railways and heavy construction, and the technology is used worldwide to improve production efficiency, reduce equipment downtime and increase operational profitability.

Kittiwake are continually looking for ways to cut the cost of testing for our customers. One way of doing this is to decrease the hazardous nature of our tests for use and for transportation. Over the past two years we have reclassified over 80 reagents and a recent breakthrough by our Scientists now enables us to provide many of the Kittiwake DIGI Test Kits in non-hazardous for shipping versions.

The new EasySHIP reagent sachet has been developed solely with shipping costs in mind. For the first time you can now buy the DIGI Kittiwake Water in Oil test which is non-hazardous for transport and for use. On average this will save over 70% on shipping costs, dramatically reducing the overall cost per test*.
