The brand new 52m Bronto, an access hire attachment, is to be shown for the first time at SED. Alongside this will be the new British made 17m Ascendant. This platform is based on a light 3.5 tonne chassis and has up to 12m of outreach.

With these in mind, Facelift is inviting visitors to SED in May, to watch these machines as they are demonstrated for the first time.

Slashing prices by 40% and with a fixed UK delivery charge of GBP1.99, Safety Signs' catalogue has been inundated by the small orders market.

Slashing prices by 40% and with a fixed UK delivery charge of GBP1.99, Safety Signs' catalogue has been inundated by the small orders market. It's main attraction is the simplicity of it's layout and a highly effective site search. Sales Director Karen Bradley has admitted the response from construction and small business has taken her by surprise.

SafetySignsCatalogue.Com is the online store for long established UK sign company Linden Signs.

The new Wolf rechargeable, lightweight R-50 safety torch, ATEX Certified to Zone 1, was originally designed for the European firefighting market.

The new Wolf rechargeable, lightweight R-50 safety torch, ATEX certified to Zone 1, originally designed for the European firefighting market, is now becoming the preferred choice for offshore gas and oil operators around the world. The R-50 incorporates new technology in the form of ultra lightweight, high capacity lithium - ion rechargeable cells, coupled with state-of-the-art battery control technology, which notably improves performance and reliability, eliminating memory effect, thus reducing total 'cost of ownership' by extending the life-cycle of the product. The outstanding beam from its LED light source penetrates smoke to a level never previously experienced, and with two levels of light output the torch provides up to six hours duration.

Ergonomically designed with easy single-handed switching, the robust R-50 is also low maintenance, with quick component replacement.

For additional safety, battery state-of-charge is shown as a bar of high intensity red LEDs, each one extinguishing as the battery charge diminishes.

In emergency the R-50 can be recharged to 90 per cent capacity in 90 minutes.

Wolf Safety's rechargeable R-50 safety torch, is in use with Grampian Fire and Rescue, Avon Fire and Rescue, Essen Fire Brigade, and the Brigade Sapeurs-Pompiers de Paris, to name but a few.

And now Qatar Gas is using R-50 torches at their LNG Plant in the largest gas field in the world; while STATOIL, the major Norwegian offshore oil operator, is replacing existing lamps with the outstanding R-50 for use in the harsh environment of the North Sea.

The SHS3 Safety Hinge Switch from Bernstein implements numerous features which the user has been demanding.

SHS3 Safety Hinge Switch The SHS3 Safety Hinge Switch from Bernstein implements numerous features which the user has been demanding. For instance, the switching point of the SHS3 is freely settable in an angle range of 270deg. But the most important innovation of the SHS3 is the opportunity to re-adjust the switching point even after it was set.

This is a feature that no other product on the market can offer.

Another novelty is the modular structure: using the same hinge, it is now be possible to build a system with a right or left end stop.

In addition, both front installation and interior installation between the profiles can be realised.

But no matter which type of installation is needed, the switching point can be freely set over the entire angle range.

And the SHS3 has much to offer as regards switching technology.

Being equipped with two forced opening safety contacts and a signal contact, it allows for a layout up to control category 4 according to EN 945-1 in a redundant system.

Bernstein's new SHS3 has been developed as a full load hinge and has a protection of IP 67.

Few subjects are regarded as more urgent in safety technology than the integration of safety into the PLC.

Few subjects are regarded as more urgent in safety technology than the integration of safety into the PLC. Companies from mechanical and systems engineering are familiar with the problem: Most of their customers would much rather not have a separate PLC for control and safety, particularly if they are also based on proprietary solutions as they offer little investment security in view of rapid technological developments. In the past, too many systems have turned out to be technological dead ends, this situation is entirely different in the case of programming based on open standards.

For Bernstein developers, this meant that from the outset the target specification stated that the solution should firstly integrate both safety and control applications and secondly that it should be completely based on open standards.

With the Safe LogiControl Bernstein is presenting a product that fulfils these requirements the freely programmable PLC that integrates both safety and control applications and permits the construction of systems in accordance with Cat.

4 as defined by EN 954-1 or SIL3 as defined by IEC 61508.

A functional Safe LogiControl will be the highlight of the Bernstein trade fair stand at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2005.

KW-Software is our strategic partner in the development of Safe LogiControl.

Within the framework of this partnership, the company supplies the widely used programming system SAFEPROG, the runtime system SafeOS, secure firmware management and sequence services and the secure and certified function modules of PLCopen.

Anyone using Safe LogiControl can therefore fall back on a familiar program environment conforming to IEC 61131 that is widespread on the market for the purpose of adapting it to their own applications.

There is also the advantage that there is no need to learn a new programming interface or therefore retraining of staff.

In addition to this, both safety and control programming operations can be performed with one single interface.

The application program can be downloaded via the Ethernet connection or added via a plug-in memory card.
