A pair of Weidmuller promos! TERMSERIES FG Relays and Rockstar® Moduplug

Order $400 or more from Weidmuller's TERMSERIES FG Relay line and they will send you a free Stripax tool!

”Why should I care, let alone spend $400” - Tom, 42 - Beverage Wrangler, Portland Bottling Co.

Well, Tom. Two words, FUNCTIONAL SAFETY! Weidmuller's force-guided relays provide synchronous switching at both contacts ensuring the signaling contact maintains the same switching status in the event of an error. (No simultaneous conditions!)

“Yeah, I still don’t care…”

Tom, I hear what you are saying. What does this all mean to you…so, let my touch on that. I drive by your loading dock every weekday morning around 7:15am. You have been up since the wee hours loading and unloading palette after palette of tasty beverages. I’m in my Subaru blasting some tunes to get pumped for the day, Perhaps, I am sipping some coffee as I pass. I barely notice that your loading doors are open, and I most certainly cannot hear the courtesy honk that all certified, well-seasoned, all-pro forklift surgeons like yourself give as a warning to passersby. I have no way of knowing that a heavy motorized object, lifting another heavy object is moving into my thoroughfare with all the mass and inertia of a rogue black hole. Except! For our sakes, a capacitive sensor is tripped sending a little blast of voltage to a waiting relay that closes a circuit attached to lifesaving safety equipment - light curtains. The light curtains flash on, thus, alerting me that something may be barreling toward me! My head snaps toward the doorway of the now lit loading dock. I have seen the light, and now I see you, Tom! I slow my roll and let you pass. We wave and part as friends. Two lives and hundreds of premium beverages are saved because of the action of a reliable, FG relay, and you, Tom. FUNCTIONAL SAFETY.

“Take my money!”

I will, Tom. See you tomorrow, and maybe we will have a little less drama this time. For my Ted Talk, please see my youtube channel.

Suggested usage for FG Relays: light curtains, interlock and e-stop switches, and other critical safety circuits that require synchronous signaling contact.

And now for something (not so) completely different…

Weidmuller's RockStar® ModuPlug sets new standards for modular connector systems. To put it simply, they solve the omnipresent space problem by offering increased functionality over reduced installation space requirements. These features in turn reduce the overall weight and by extension, cost!

Panduit's OneMode is fiber saving novacane.

…and now for something completely different...a little dram of Panduit's fiber wunderkind, the OneMode. 

Panduit’s OneMode allows the end user to increase fiber backbone bandwidth without replacing existing infrastructure. If you are familiar with fiber, that explanation is enough to prompt an investigation as to how the OneMode follows through on this promise. For most of us, on the fringes of fiber, let us dig in a bit to types of savings OneMode potentially offers.

In a world without OneMode, increasing a fiber backbone takes a fair amount of time and money. In general, the largest expense is labor which involves any number of “fun” time and money leeches like laying new cable, ripping out existing cable, digging a trench in your parking lot, pulling permits…I think we can see where this is going.

With Panduit’s OneMode, you can potentially avoid all of that hassle and still have enough in your wallet for a cold six to enjoy while the ‘Blazers win next year's NBA Championship – I am calling it here!

*Right now you can enjoy LOW PRICES on in-house Panduit products through the end of June! So take advantage while you can. 

For more info on Panduit's OneMode and their family of products, reach out to us at (503) 233-5341 or sales@ursele.com. There are also other great resources including this blog entry where Panduit's Tom Kovanic interviews Kevin Lengle from Cailabs about the cutting-edge technology that makes OneMode work. 

Have a great rest of your week!
