ROSEMOUNT TWISTED SQUARE
THERMOWELL FROM EMERSON
Emerson has released the Rosemount Twisted
Square Thermowell line, a solution that reduces dynamic
stress, simplifies process calculations and provides
more accurate temperature measurements. This
new thermowell design was developed to address
these issues while meeting demanding production
requirements, increasing output and ensuring high
product quality. Twisted Square Thermowells improve
reliability and reduce risk of fatigue failure through
their ability to dampen dynamic stresses caused by
oscillating vortex pressures. These dynamic stresses
can result in vortex-induced vibration (VIV), which is
the primary source of thermowell stress failures. The
new design reduces VIV by more than 90%. This
helps to simplify process
calculations by eliminating
the need to size thermowells
to reduce dynamic and frequency
limits, saving engineering
time and lowering costs without
requiring design changes. “We wanted to offer a
solution that would give our customers more options
for thermowells when they run into process design
challenges,” Emerson senior lead engineer Jack
Reuvers says. “When changes happen during the late
phases of projects it can delay start-up times and add
a lot of extra cost and stress”. Emerson.com/RosemountTwistedSquare
OMRON HARD AND SOFTWARE
At Automatica 2018, Omron will announce new hard- and software that will further optimise
its industry leading portfolio for flexible manufacturing. The company’s new line of advanced
SCARA Robots will boast more than a world-class sleek design. The compact controller (iCS) is
fully integrated into a stylised base, minimising footprint. The connectivity (EtherCAT & Ethernet)
is available in the controller and arm. There is no flyover cable, which makes them simple to
integrate. The new robots are fully aligned with Omron’s core iAutomation solution, which aims to
innovate the manufacturing environment with the three key ‘i’ factors – integrated, intelligent and
interactive. Omron’s Jose Sousa says there is no such thing as a single approach to realise flexible

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS
Different gear units and motor types, sizes, options and
gear ratios often result in a large variety of drive versions – a
considerable cost factor. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS answers to
this concern with its LogiDrive standardised IE4 geared motor
version to ensure optimised processes and reduced costs.
The unit consists of an IE4 synchronous motor, a two-stage
helical bevel gear unit and a NORDAC LINK field distributor.
These systems are highly efficient and thanks to Plug & Play
technology, they are maintenance-friendly and result in a
considerable reduction of spare part stock. The standardised
geared motor variants are specially designed for intralogistics
and airport technology with a compact design for space saving.
It’s lightweight aluminium housing enables weight savings
of up to 25%. LogiDrive drive technology is suitable for horizontal
conveyors, inclined conveyors and vertical conveyors,
and thanks to extensive certification, LogiDrive systems can
be installed without problems, worldwide
