PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
Federal Signal's Breakthrough LED Technology Reduces Cost by 50-60%

Models 191XL, 225XL, 27XL and 2000 Series LED feature eXtreme Light Technology (XLT™), a high-intensity LED array that optimizes light output with superior lens fill. In addition to outperforming conventional LEDs with increased illumination and greater versatility, these lights also offer the vibration and shock resistance, reduced power consumption and extended service life that is inherent to LED technology. The costs of servicing an incandescent signal light, including replacement parts and service man hours can be two to three times the cost of installing a new Federal Signal LED with XLT™. Available in both DC and AC voltages, variety of lens colors and multiple mounting configurations. www.federalsignal-indust.com

HOT NEW PRODUCTS - Editor's Choice
***High-Speed Laser Sensors Enable 2D Measurement*** WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ: The new versatile KEYENCE high-speed LJ-G Series 2D laser sensors accurately measure the surface profile of targets in the X and Z directions. Considered the fastest in its class with a high-speed sampling of 3.8 ms and high-accuracy of ±0.1% F.S. in the Z-Axis, the LJ-G can perform 8-point measurements, making 100% inspections possible. Five sensor-head types ranging from 15 mm to 200 mm can handle tight specifications for many applications in a wide range of industries. The all-in-one controller allows easy setup on screen or using the LJ-G Navigator software (optional). Also available is the capability to connect two sensor heads to one controller. Designed for intuitive operation and user-friendly setup, programming and troubleshooting are simple. The LJ-G achieves a high-speed of 3.8 ms with the Quatro link system that enables accurate measurements on fast production lines or moving targets. Equipped with the E3-CMOS image sensor that provides stability, the LJ-G can measure virtually any targets ranging from black rubber (weak reflection) to metals (strong reflection). ---Keyence Corp. of America Read More

***Line-of-Sight Hose Sleeving Protects Operators from Bursts, Leaks*** DENVER, CO: Gates LifeGuard™ sleeving system is specifically designed to protect machine operators from the hazards of catastrophic hydraulic hose failure due to line-of-sight hose bursts and pinhole leaks. The Lifeguard sleeve has an inner layer of tightly woven nylon that elongates to absorb the energy of a burst or pinhole leak. The outer nylon layer restrains the fluid and redirects it safely to the clamped ends. Fluids then exit the system via specially designed "channel" clamps at each end. A noticeable pool of leaking fluid serves as positive verification that a failure has occurred so corrective action can be taken immediately. The sleeving provides containment of 6,000-psi bursts and 3,000-psi pinhole leaks at 212°F for up to five minutes. ---Gates Corp. Read More

INDUSTRY TRENDS
***Leading By Example*** "One of the defining characteristics of a great leader is his or her ability to lead by example. If you want your team to adhere to high standards of honesty and integrity, it is vital that you show them the way forward," states Keith Ayers, an international leadership and personnel development expert. "Too many senior executives take the 'do as I say, not as I do' approach to this issue. However, that is a surefire way to alienate your team and fuel resentment. Leaders should clearly articulate their values and beliefs, and open a discussion with their team so that team members can contribute ideas for, and share their opinions on, a collective set of standards for the team. By doing this, companies can develop standards of honesty and integrity that everyone can abide by."
