***DUO-TOUCH(R) Run Bar***
MINNEAPOLIS, MN: Banner Engineering Corp. introduces the
DUO-TOUCH(R) Run Bar with STB Buttons for two-hand control machine
actuation. The Run Bar easily interfaces with DUO-TOUCH SG Two-Hand
Control Modules, SC22-3 Safety Controllers or other Type IIIC control
systems to provide convenient, reliable actuation. The DUO-TOUCH Run Bar
minimizes the possibility of defeat and accidental actuation, and its
ergonomic design reduces hand, wrist and arm stresses associated with
repeated switch operation. The Run Bar includes two preinstalled STB
Touch Buttons, making set up and installation easy. The DUO-TOUCH Run
Bar features robust, 13-gauge cold-rolled steel construction and a
unique design for maximum ergonomics and safety for machine initiation.
In addition, its diverse-redundant, self-checking, microcontroller-based
photoelectric STB Buttons minimize the risk of defeat. The STB Buttons
are also immune to ambient light, EMI and RFI interference, and they
provide high excess gain to cut through heavy contamination. Plus, the
STB Buttons feature bright status LEDs to indicate power, output and
fault. For added convenience and installation flexibility, models with
an integrated emergency stop button, along with a variety of accessory
brackets and telescoping floor-mounted stands are available. List price
for the DUO-TOUCH Run Bar with STB Buttons starts at $358. "The new
DUO-TOUCH Run Bar is designed to solve the ergonomic problems associated
with mechanical push buttons, while simplifying installation," said Mike
Carlson, technical manager for Banner's safety products. "The Run Bar
contains two preinstalled STB Self-Checking Touch Buttons which require
no physical pressure to activate, protecting workers from hand, wrist
and arm injuries resulting from stressful manual operation." Carlson
adds, "The Run Bar, when used with a DUO-TOUCH SG Two-Hand Control
Module or other IIIC (per ISO 13851) compliant system, meets U.S. and
international standards and minimizes the possibility of defeat or
accidental operation in machine actuation applications." ---Banner
Engineering Corp.

Federal Signal's Integrated Command Solution: The nucleus of a fully
integrated safety and security system.
Today's industrial environments depend on a host of diverse systems to
assure adequate workplace safety and security. These systems encompass
everything from access control, CCTV and public address, to fire alarm
warnings and intercommunications. Unfortunately, many of these systems
are deployed at different times and for different reasons with the
too-often consequence that they are either incompatible with one
another, or driven by proprietary technologies.

***Super-Compact Brushless AC Servo Motors
Give Machine Builders New Performance Options***
FORT SMITH, AR: Baldor is introducing a range of ultra-compact
brushless AC servo motors offering machine builders a high performance
and low-maintenance alternative to stepper motors and DC servos. Capable
of delivering peak torques of up to 33.63 lb-in (3.8 Nm), combined with
other interesting dynamic performance attributes of servo motors such as
fast acceleration, the new motors are packaged in small 1.6 and 2.4 inch
(40 and 60 mm) square bodies. Designated the BSM R-series, the new
motors are expected to appeal to automation equipment builders seeking
to improve the productivity of machinery in applications such as
packaging and labeling, materials handling, semiconductor manufacturing,
winding and printing. Special construction features employed in the
motors mean that their action is virtually 'cog free', providing very
smooth motion at slow speeds. This also makes the motors suitable for
precision motion that might be required in applications such as medical
equipment, semiconductor processing equipment, and instrumentation. BSM
R-series users can choose from either 40 or 60 mm square frame sizes,
and with a further choice of one or two winding stacks. This provides
developers with a selection of continuous stall torque ratings spanning
1.4 to 11.24 lb-in (0.16 to 1.27 Nm), and peak torques from 4.25 to
33.63 lb-in (0.48 to 3.8 Nm). The smallest one-stack motor measures 1.6
inch sqaure by 2.32 inches (40 x 59 mm) long, and weighs just 0.88
pounds (0.4 kg). Power and feedback connections to the motors are made
by long flying leads. Users can optionally specify motors with a
resolver or 2000 PPR encoder fitted for positional feedback. A further
useful option is the addition of a 24 VDC brake. Baldor offers a
comprehensive range of drives and motion controllers to support the new
motors. The new motors complement Baldor's existing broad range of
brushless AC servo motors, the BSM N and C series, which provide torque
ratings from 4 to 354 lb-in (0.45 to 40 Nm). ---Baldor Electric Co.

Replace Your Old "Plastic" Gate with "R"
Gate
The FabEnCo R-Series Self-Closing Safety Gate is a rugged,
spring-loaded metal gate designed specifically to replace worn, stuck or
broken "plastic" gates in the workplace. FabEnCo's unique stop mechanism
provides positive stop without opposite post contact. Competitively
priced and easy to install, the R-Gate is available in a variety of
metals and finishes, and retrofits to the existing holes of an old
"plastic" gate. www.safetygate.com.
New Toggle Clamps with Built-In Safety Locks
Carr Lane has introduced several new latch-action toggle clamps
with a built-in safety lock. These clamps have a lock, which
automatically engages when the clamp is closed, then remains locked
until manually disengaged by pressing a lever before opening. The safety
lock prevents the latch clamp from being accidentally opened by bumping
the handle. In four sizes, the new models, CL-200-LPA, CL-300-LPA,
CL-400-LPA, and CL-500-LPA, range from 700 to 7500 lbs holding capacity.

*** Chief Economist Sees Interest Rate
Cuts Into 2008***
The effects of three major economic forces, each one enough to
damage the U.S. economy by itself, have come together at the same time
to create a condition that is contributing to the "demise" of the
economy. To counteract the demise, the U.S. Federal Reserve will have to
keep cutting the Fed Funds rate into 2008 to mitigate the damage,
according to analysis from leading trade credit insurer Euler Hermes
ACI.
In his most recent economic analysis, Euler Hermes ACI Chief Economist
Daniel C. North said that the three factors -- high oil prices, the
inverted yield curve of 2006-2007, and the burst housing market bubble
-- have converged on the U.S. economy at the same time, and their
effects are becoming clearer as we continue through the nation's
economic slowdown. "An economy cannot survive all three of these major,
damaging factors at the same time and not experience a sharp slowdown,"
said North.
