Two-in-one solution for device mounting in the control cabinet

securely fixing the nut. This allows AirStream brackets, rail profiles and EMC modules to be continuously or double mounted on the SR032 mounting rail. In the case of the AirStream Compact wiring

Automation specialist Lütze, based in Weinstadt, Germany is expanding its accessory portfolio for the AirStream and AirStream Compact wiring frames with a flexibly deployable cage sliding nut, specifically designed for use with the SR032 mounting rail. The new cage sliding nut combines two previously separate mounting functions in one product: it allows easy snapping into the sliding nut channel of the SR032 mounting rail, but also provides the option to pivot laterally into the cages of the mounting rail. The first option is suitable for retrofitting AirStream modules, consisting of rails including brackets or supports, into existing control cabinet configurations. After snapping into the sliding nut channel, the sliding nuts can be freely positioned, with an integrated spring

of two needs to be kept in stock. The cage sliding nuts are equipped with M6 threads, allowing easy mounting of adapter angles, hook-and-loop tape sockets or custom user components with M6 screws. The new cage nuts, available from stock, comply with all relevant tests and type approvals according to DIN 61439 and CE directives. These include high-current tests, vibration-shock tests and short circuit resistance. Friedrich Lütze GmbH www.luetze.com VisionLab is easy to program. Templates are saved by part number and then recalled for instant inspection. The system is intended to be in the lab or on the shop floor, so that it can be fully utilised in replacing manual inspection. Three models are available: VisionLab-75, VisionLab-150 and VisionLab-X. VisionLab-75 can handle parts up to 75mm length and up to 35mm diameter; VisionLab-150 is for parts up to 150mm in length and 50mm in diameter. For larger sizes, VisionLab-X can be custom designed to fit most applications. General Inspection also offers a full range of high-speed inspection machines for bolts, screws, nuts, valve springs retainers, rivets, bushings and washers. Patented systems are available to detect dimensional and visual defects simultaneously. The company’s systems incorporate laser, vision and eddy current for dimensional measurement, visual defect detection and rejection of metallurgical anomalies as a method for fastener manufacturers and distributors to achieve zero defects.

frame, supports can be mounted on the SR032 mounting rail instead of brackets. Variant two – the cage option – is particularly suitable for easy mounting of the AirStream frame in a control cabinet. The cage nuts are snapped into the cages, over which the adaptation angles can then be attached. The new AirStream cage sliding nuts facilitate control cabinet assembly, both in new builds and in retrofitting components. An additional advantage is that only one component instead An optional end-view feature measures and detects defects on both ends of parts, measuring features such as recesses, inner/outer diameters, through holes and counterbores. Optional surface control is used to detect surface defects such as bad plating, thread patch presence and quality, as well as to measure knurling width, gap and height. Upper tooling and a bit kit are available for uneven parts or parts with a recess drive. VisionLab provides comprehensive data reports and graphs with data collection that can be exported to third-party SPC packages. With Windows-based software,

Versatile first-piece inspection The versatile VisionLab gauging system from General Inspection can be used for first-piece inspection, SPC sampling, final audits, or 100 per cent inspection using pick and place automation.

The three-dimensional gauging system provides complete part measurements in less than seven seconds. It can measure all profile features, including pertinent GD&T characteristics, as well as all thread features using patented optics and software algorithms that use virtual system-22 thread wireframes. An integrated thread database provides point-and-click programming.
