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.
Visit floydbell.com to 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

***First Vision-Guided Industrial Mobile
Robot***
PITTSBURGH, PA: GT3 autonomous tugger employs Seegrid’s
Industrial Mobile Robotics (IMR) technology which enables it to move
through manufacturing, warehousing and distribution operations utilizing
stereo cameras to build a reliable 3D map of the environment. The GT3
then uses the map and its own reasoning ability to navigate a
predetermined path to complete its assigned transport task. The GT3
transports materials and finished goods without wire guides, magnets or
lasers. It is designed to free up skilled employees by taking care of
such tasks as pulling carts, delivering palletized materials and
positioning supplies in tight areas. The vehicle is highly flexible and
can be implemented quickly and easily with no workflow disruption.

2008 Manufacturing WebExpo &
Conference Webinars:
Presentation topic: "Push. Click. Done. -
New Universal Push to Connect Assembly"
Sponsor: Parker Hannifin - Tube Fittings
Division
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 11:00am EDT
Parkers new Universal Push to Connect design takes the guess work
out of assembling fluid power connections. Current assembly of threaded
connectors is slow and relies on proper torques and assembly procedures.
Parker’s new design saves time and money by eliminating the wrenching
of hose ends to fittings and the costly rework of improperly assembled
connections.
Simply insert the male hose end into the Universal Push to Connect
fitting and assembly is complete. If a hose needs to be replaced or
maintenance performed, a standard wrench is all you need. Because the
design utilizes standard O-ring Face Seal (ORFS) fittings, an
off-the-shelf ORFS hose assembly can be used to replace any that are
damaged, therefore minimizing downtime.

Presentation topic: "Prepare your air to maximize
cylinder life.
An Instructive Tutorial for Use of Filters, Regulators &
Lubricators"
Sponsor: Bimba Manufacturing
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 2:00pm EDT
The presentation will discuss the elementary parts of air
preparation. Sizing the right filters is essential to prevent
contaminants migrating to your equipment and causing failures.
Regulators help with the consistent operating pressure your pneumatic
system. Choosing a good lubricator will help reduce excessive component
wear and also prolong your equipment life. We will also review unique
accessories that can help improve your system performance.

Presentation topic: "Designing Belt Power
Transmission Systems for Energy Savings"
Sponsor: Gates Corporation
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 3:00pm EDT
It’s a topic no one can afford to ignore. Companies are looking
for ways to save energy in power transmission operations. Put simply,
efficient systems save money.
Join Brent Oman, who has over 20 years of drive design experience with
Gates Corporation, for a free webinar on designing the most
energy-saving power transmission solutions. He’ll compare the
capabilities of V-belts and synchronous belts, so that you’re equipped
with the latest information on energy efficiency.
The one-hour webinar will help you answer these questions:
• What is efficiency?
• How do the various types of V-belts and synchronous belts differ?
• What are the energy efficiency advantages of each type of belt?
• What does energy cost?
• What are proven examples or case studies that show the benefits of
energy savings?
• How do I calculate savings and payback?
• What are the maintenance-saving advantages of synchronous belts?
• How can I design for energy savings?
You’ll walk away with practical pointers to start saving energy, and
money, in your drives.
The presentation concludes with an interactive, Q&A session, so bring
your questions.
