Voice-Capable Alarms Replace Ambiguous "Beep"
Sometimes a "beep" or "whoop" doesn't convey enough information to an
operator of a machine. Floyd Bell Inc., manufacturer of popular
Audiolarm® piezo electric buzzers, has solved this problem with a
new line of high-quality digital audio alarms.
New Announcer™ Series alarms from Floyd Bell play a pre-recorded
audio message up to ten seconds at 95 dB. The same size as a standard
piezo alarm, they provide the ability to replace an ambiguous beep with
voice instructions or warnings.
You have the ability to choose from standard warning messages
("Warning!"), send us your own file, or have Floyd Bell provide the
production of the message at our in-house production studio!
Announcer™ Series alarms come standard with quick connect
terminals, a special grill designed for maximum acoustic output, and
voltage range to fit your application.
Request a sample of the Announcer™ Series
Alarms. For guaranteed delivery and unparalleled quality, you
can count on Floyd Bell, the industry leader in audible alarm technology
for over 30 years. floydbell.com

Prepare to be Productive with Bimba Air Prep
Bimba Manufacturing recently helped one of its
customers outfit an assembly line with a localized FRL system. The Bimba
solution
started with a 50-mm filter and mist-air lubricator. The filtered and
lubricated air was then fed into a 2:1 booster device to ensure that variances in
shop air pressure did not compromise tool functionality. The boosted air
pressure was then stored in a 30-gallon reservoir to provide a
significant local air supply. This allowed for multiple tools to run
simultaneously for short periods and gave the booster time to relax,
increasing its functional life. The stored air then ran through a second
lubricator and regulator to ensure that consistent pressure was supplied
before finally being linked to multiple tools at a valve manifold
station.
With regular observation and maintenance, air preparation components
promote continuous and smooth operation of assembly stations and can be
an asset to virtually any manufacturing operation.

***Airbor Pneumatic Magnetic
Drill***
NORWALK, CT: The AIRBOR AB-4300-2R Magnetic Drill from CS Unitec
answers the safety concerns associated with the need for drilling in
hazardous environments. The motor and magnet of this portable Magnetic
Drill are powered completely by compressed air - no electricity needed -
allowing it to be used in EX zones and around water without fear of
shock or blown circuitry. The Fail-Safe permanent magnet turns on and
off by air pressure. In the event of a loss of air flow, the magnet will
not disengage. This model is ATEX approved for use in hazardous
environments (EX II 2 GcT6), making it ideal for use in oil and gas
refineries, sugar refineries, grain silos, offshore oil, marine, and
other process industries. AIRBOR easily drills up to 2-1/16" diameter
holes with annular cutters through up to 4" thick steel plate. ---CS

***Focusable Micro FlashLED Puts out over
4,300 Foot-candles ***
TORRANCE, CA: The new Micro FlashLED is more powerful than most LED
flashlights on the market today. It has a one-watt, 80-lumen LED chip
that emits over 4,300 end foot-candles (4300cd) of bright Cool White
(8000 Kelvin) light that's powerful enough and lasts long enough to
light your way - all the way home. Other LED light colors are available
for qualified customers. Micro FlashLED operates on three standard,
replaceable, AAA-cell-type alkaline batteries. Since LEDs are 80-90%
more energy efficient than incandescent lamps, the unit operates 20 - 30
times longer than the comparable incandescent flashlight, providing up
to 96 hours or 4 days of continuous illumination at a diminishing light
output rate. It retains 50% of its light output after one hour of
continuous use. The exterior is made of anodized aluminum to resist
corrosion, impact and scratching. ---LEDtronics, Inc.

***Diagnosing Poor
Performance***
Keith Ayers, an international leadership and personnel development
expert and author of "Engagement is Not Enough" says "Diagnosing the
reasons for less than optimum performance is an important leadership
skill, because when you are clearer about the cause, it is so much
easier to implement the most effective solution. There are four primary
reasons for poor performance: the employee is incapable of doing the
work; they are not clear about what is expected; they are lacking the
knowledge of how to perform; or the person lacks the motivation to
perform. Once a leader has figured out why an employee's work is
lacking, they can then solve the issue through a better project
selection process, communication, education or engagement."
