SCHAUMBURG, IL F3SJ Safety Light Curtains from OMRON Automation and Safety make selecting and installing a safety light curtain easier than ever users need only specify the required configuration type and sensor length. F3SJ safety light curtains are available in finger protection, hand protection or hand/limb body protection configurations. Sensors with protective heights of up to nearly 2.5 meters are available for applications that involve large-sized workpieces.
The F3SJ safety light curtain is 6 mm thinner than previous models, and when used with the newly designed mounting brackets that allow beams to be aligned after the sensor is mounted, the total thickness is just 26 mm - a reduction of 19 mm. The low profile allows users to add safety to existing equipment without the safety light curtains getting in the way. F3SJ cables (0.3 m) have M12 connectors and a 5mm bending radius, and can be routed in literally any direction, for simplified wiring. Up to 4 sets, or 400 beams, can be connected in series, and with series connection cables up to 15 meters in length users can effectively safeguard a wide area.
All F3SJ safety light curtain system parameters can be set with intuitive software, and system status can be checked with a laptop computer. When a computer isn't the most convenient tool for the worksite, an optional Setting Console is a handy way to set parameters, monitor system status, and quickly troubleshoot errors.
The F3SJ can be used to configure a Category 4 safety circuit to suit a variety of safety needs, including options to maximize space efficiency and minimize set-up costs, reduce wiring time and costs, or even implement a multi-input safety circuit. Many other safety light curtains require a dedicated "muting controller" to benefit from muting functions, but it is built into the F3SJ and can be used by simply replacing the units cap with an optional muting key cap.

OMRON Automation and Safety's F3SJ Safety Light Curtains Simplify Selection and Installation, ...
SCHAUMBURG, IL OMRON Automation and Safety introduces UMQ Series Safety Mats. These safety mats feature a patented IP67 quick-disconnect cable connector that promises significant cost savings to the user by reducing inventory requirements, while simplifying installation and replacement of damaged cables.
The quick-disconnect feature allows for last minute cable length changes in the field, and since the cable is not attached until the end of the installation process, the potential for cable damage during installation is significantly reduced. And even if a cable is damaged during installation or mat operation, it can simply be replaced in the field without having to replace an entire mat. The quick-disconnect is designed for backward compatibility with the mat cable location of current OMRON Automation and Safety safety mats.
Black UMQ series safety mats are available in standard sizes with a standardized cable location. Mat cables are currently available in 5 meter and 10 meter lengths. Mats are also available in metric sizes, yellow color for greater visibility, special angular and cut outs for uniquely shaped areas, and customized cable locations. All OMRON Automation and Safety safety mats are engineered to satisfy ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999, ISO 13856-1:2001, ANSI B11.19-2003, CSA Z432-04 and EN1760-1:1998 standards.
A safety mat system offers freedom, flexibility, and reduced operator fatigue when compared with traditional guarding methods such as interlocked fences, pullback restraints or perimeter barriers. Full visibility of and access to the work area is maintained.
The safety mat is a simple, normally open switch. When a specified minimum weight is applied to the safety mat the "switch" closes. This sends a signal to the safety mat controller, which in turn, sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. Each safety mat presents four wires to the safety mat controller. This provides the redundancy required to monitor the wires for open circuits due to incorrect wiring or physical damage to the safety mat wires.
Additionally, safety mats can also simplify routine tasks such as machine set-up, maintenance and repair. Typical applications for safety mats include welding robots, assembly machinery, material handling, packaging machinery, punches, presses and robotic work cells.

Lightning/Surge Protectors feature inline installation.
A Kickstarter campaign for a new breed of night-light has captured funders' imaginations with its easy installation and low profile.
The Guidelight won't interrupt your home decor.
Plug-in night-lights have rarely been lauded for the beauty of their design. They are usually utilitarian-looking gadgets or over-the-top silly gizmos with Disney princesses on them.
The SnapRays Guidelight on Kickstarter takes a very different approach. It replaces the cover plate on an electric outlet, but adds three down-facing LEDs. It requires no batteries or wiring to install.
The Guidelight has a light sensor, so it only turns on when it's dark. It comes in two different styles to fit most outlets, though it doesn't work with outlets that have GFI buttons. Snap Power estimates that it costs less than 10 cents per year to run each Guidelight, and that the LEDs should last up to 25 years.
The installation process involves turning off the power to an outlet, removing the old cover plate, and snapping the Guidelight into place. Two tabs on the backside touch the outlet to draw power for the LEDs. That means your plugs stay open, not clogged up with night-lights.
This is one of those inventions that is clever enough, simple enough, and affordable enough to become a new standard. It makes plug-in night-lights look positively prehistoric, like little glowing dinosaurs that belong in the past.
Each Guidelight goes for a $12 pledge, with multi-packs available. The project started with a humble $12,000 goal. It took just a handful of days to obliterate that and exceed $170,000. Apparently, a whole lot of people have been yearning for a better night-light.
A look behind the scenes of the Guidelight.

After Guidelight, night-lights may never be the same again

4 reasons to outsource your DNS
Rain has been a problem for my fixed line for years.
There have been other exciting ventures in broadband fail over the years, such as when a contractor set fire to a large Telstra pit and cut off 20 homes for three weeks, but rain has been the constant niggle.
It most recently came to a head last weekend March 1 when instead of dipping below 1 Mbps, the line died entirely, including dialtone.
After the usual calls to Telstra, I arranged an appointment time for a tech. He arrived at 8:00AM after a promise he'd appear in an 8:00AM to Noon window (well done, Telstra), told me there was an issue in the street that he'd fixed, and asked where the lead-in terminated. I pointed to where the landline and broadband modem were connected, and he said That's not the termination. We'll need to get someone else to help find it.
I spent much of yesterday finding and eliminating the possibilities, and when a more experienced tech arrived today again punctually, which does surprise me we went from room to room together, so he could confirm for himself that there wasn't a single place on any skirting board that showed a black cable.
Finally, the tech opened the old PMG (Post-Master General) pit that feeds my house and the house next door, and fished out two snot-boxes (so called because they're filled with yellow grease to protect the terminations). One belongs to the neighbour, one to me. After a little cable clipping, he concluded that both lines are suffering a short to Earth; mine is more severe, so the neighbour's line is still working.
The pre-1970s Post-Master General logo hints at the age of the installation
Then he examined the pit, and looked towards the neighbour's garage. When do you think that was built?
My guess is sometime in the 1970s, and I said so, and he looked somewhat downcast.
