The completely redesigned plumb bob electrochemical level-measurement system, Nivobob (photo), offers the following enhancements: increased durability, via a brushless motor; a new rope system, which extends the time between services; and a larger measurement distance (up to 40 m with the tape version). For smaller plants without visualization systems, an additional remote box is available that allows up to 15 instruments to be remotely controlled. Measurement data can easily bne integrated into existing control systems, as the Nivobob offers both ModBus and Profubus DP communication, alongside the 4–20 mA output signal. — UWT GmbH, Betzigau, Germany
The line of HiPace turbopumps (photo) has been broadened to include four new sizes. They are characterized by their high pumping speeds for both light (H2, He) and heavy (Ar, CH4) gases, achieving high throughputs for even heavy gases. In addition to photovoltaics and semiconductor technology, the pumps range of applications includes coating architectural glass and eyeglass lenses, as well as industrial applications such as furnace engineering. Protection Class IP 54 and SEMI S2 assure their suitability for industrial applications. — Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH, Asslar, Germany
