The 16-page brochure claims that the W22 platform of motors has the best service factor in the industry, along with an exclusive cooling system that provides optimum air flow through the motor frame. The aerodynamic design of the fan cover also minimizes losses due to recirculation of air between fan and fan cover, and the new fan design provides significantly lower noise levels. The W22 line of motors is equipped with ball bearings as standard and an exclusive bearing sealing system that is designed to protect the bearings against moisture, high pressure washing, and harsh chemicals and dust. The brochure includes full specifications and ordering information for the full line of W22 motors. www.weg.net App Calculates Site Illumination Needs the screen to define the boundaries of the actual area to be illuminated and virtually set up and aim the portable light towers to determine the placement and quantity of the towers, as well as the light configuration that most efficiently lights the worksite to the desired level of illumination, which is measured in foot-candles. After determining the number of towers needed, sales, rental or other specific information may be requested through the app if desired. www.allmand.com Durable, Reliable Weigh Module Mettler Toledo has released the SWB505 MultiMount weigh module, which pairs durability with accurate and reliable weighing. The MultiMount, according to the company, offers built-in safety features, such as SafeLock, to ensure easy installation. SafeLock protects the load cell from accidental overload during shipment and installation and ensures proper mounting alignment for the best possible performance and reliability. The MultiMount also can be installed without the load cell present and, at the last minute before calibration, the load cell can be inserted. This eliminates any possibility of damage to the load cell or its cable. With or without the load cell present, the weigh module is locked rigidly in its ideal position for installation. This, along with the fact that the mounting orientation is not critical, ensures a safe and professional installation every time. The SWB505 MultiMount weigh modules are designed for reliable weighing in a variety of applications, including tank weighing and dynamic loading on conveyors, mixers and blenders. The analog quality load cells use a rocker-pin design that automatically aligns load forces for accurate weighing. In addition, they are hermetically sealed, rated IP68 and available in three different materials (carbon steel, 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel), which enables them to be used in harsh industrial environments. www.mt.com/ind-multimount Allmand, responding to a growing need for assistance in determining the number and placement of portable light towers on a given worksite, has developed an iPad/iPhone application to aid in worksite light tower setup, available free through the Apple IOS App Store. According to the company, it can be used as the basis for setting up 1,000- or 1,250-watt metal halide light towers from almost any manufacturer. The mobile application is designed for those who need to illuminate large areas where portable lighting is required for safety, convenience or productivity. To use this app, simply locate the area to be illuminated on a satellite image. Touch www.e-mj.com AUGUST 2013 • E&MJ; 109
