Industrial Automation and Safety The increase in  industrial automation   across the globe has increased the chances of unexpected interaction between humans and equipment or moving machines. This makes safety very crucial both in the design of industrial machines and within the production floor to avoid injuries or deaths. Its importance has seen several institutions come up with numerous national and international safety standards that apply to different types of industrial machinery, equipment, and processes. Among these standards are; ANSI ISO 13856-1 ISO13849-1 ANSI B11.1-2003 CSA Z432-16 Equipment and machinery designers, therefore, need to familiarize themselves with the applicable specifications before they design any industrial product. Omron Industrial automation Omron  is a global renown supplier of reliable and advanced electronics and control system components. Omron’s products include timers, limit switches, power supplies, timers, saf...

Meat slicing machines Meat slicing machines are arguably the best invention after sliced bread. They have become a must-have equipment for restaurants, catering businesses, groceries, cafeterias, and other food establishments. They come in handy in slicing and chopping meat, cheese, and other produce. They are very versatile and make out food handling process easy. There are numerous meat slicers from different  meat slicer manufactures  but the operating principle is the same. Safety first Meat slicing machines are made up of sharp parts that need to be handled with care. It is, for this reason, the operation of these machines is left to adults. One should also first go through the manual supplied by the meat slicer  manufacturers  to acquaint themselves with how it operates before using it. Better still if you have someone who is already using one, you could ask them to train you. Listed below are more safety measures you should consider when using the mea...

Nothing hits the spot quite like a savory and hearty bowl of soup well-made soup. That is why a soup maker is the latest must-have for all homes around the world. Its popularity has gained traction and is showing no signs of slowing down. They not only allow you to whip up healthy and tasty soups quickly but also with very little hassle. However not every  soup maker  gives you the same quality of soup. Not all soup makers are versatile and efficient. So, what kind of soup maker can offer you tasty like that made from iMettos Soup Kettle tick? Discussed below are the factors to consider when making a soup maker. Factors to consider when choosing a soup maker Soup makers have very many different variations.  These variations cumulatively influence its capabilities and quality. Discussed below are the features that you need to consider since they bring about the variations. Speed The goal is to get your soup ready quickly. The faster the soup maker the bette...

Voltage and Power Monitoring Industrial controllers employ switch mode transistor, rectifiers and thyristor device to control power by manipulating the duty cycle of the input waveforms. However, the resulting waveforms are very complex hence in order to measure and monitor their power levels, the RMS levels of current and voltage must be determined. It possible to perform programmed calculation on a waveform acquired by an oscilloscope to determine the RMS. However, this can be very time consuming.  RMS-to-DC converter  comes in handy in remedying this. RMS-to-DC converter simplifies power measurements by outputting a DC level that is proportional to the input waveform RMS level. They used in power monitoring control and instruments to simplify the measuring the RMS level of complex, non-sinusoidal waveforms. Complex Waveform and RMS Modern electronics do not use just DC or sinusoidal voltage waveforms. Quantifying and measuring these waveforms becomes difficult. Tra...
