A new polymer is the key to Europower Hydraulics' abrasion resistant hydraulic hose, which is aimed squarely at underground mining applications. Called Black Diamond, the hose features a high molecular weight polymer compound that is abrasion resistant and has a low coefficient of friction. Constructed using a synthetic nitrile rubber liner reinforced by two braids of high tensile wire, Black Diamond is said to have the best properties of the 174EHP hose but with greater durability and life. PAT shows exactly how pulleys are aligned. A spring action probe locates the belt groove and the units are easily snapped into position on the pulleys by the magnets when the units are pressed towards the pulleys.
Alignment is simple and as soon as the laser is switched on, it draws a line on the target label.
The correct position is achieved when the laser lines are aligned with the centre mark on the target label. Fixturlaser says the PAT is easy to use and can make substantial savings in running costs, increasing time between maintenance intervals. Fixturlaser, Box 7, SE-43121, M lndal, Sweden. SOLO CE's laser interface provides a solution for positioning remote objects or data collection points. SOLO CE also provides an answer for mapping without GPS however as it can operate with LTI's Impulse laser for range triangulation mapping.
