After nine years’ of highly valued service, Ashley Thacker has stepped down from the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) Board as Regional Director – Australia. Ashley’s successor on the Board is Steven Flint, founder and CEO of The Rigging Shed in Western Australia. The transition took place during the LEEA AGM, held on the Zoom platform, on 22 September 2020. During his time on the board, Ashley has overseen remarkable progress by the Association in Australasia.

Space constraints and side load sensitivity solved with 25K, 50K, and 100K capacities. YORK, Pa. (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For applications where large load cells will not fit, Morehouse Instrument Company has introduced a series of compact multi-column load cells. The three new models (25K, 50K, and 100K) are packaged in small, stainless steel cans and deliver very repeatable accuracy. “We’ve heard from customers loud and clear that space is always at a premium. We are meeting this challenge with our new compact load cells, which are small enough to easily fit in small spaces and have the measurement capability to do the same job as larger counterparts,” according to Henry Zumbrun, President of Morehouse. These strain gauge load cells offer less creep and better zero returns than single-column load cells. The lower uncertainties of these load cells allow for fewer standards to maintain. The new 25K, 50K, and 100K capacities expands on their current capacities of 200K, 300K-600K, 750K-10...

Contributes to minimizing standby power and improving reliability in home appliances Kyoto, Japan and Santa Clara, CA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  ROHM  announces the availability of  BM1ZxxxFJ , integrated zero cross detection IC series, optimized for home appliances such as vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and air conditioners. The rising demand for smart appliances and IoT applications has added communication functionality (i.e. Wi-Fi) to home appliances. As it is necessary for such devices to always be ON to maintain communication, manufacturers are required to reduce standby power consumption even more to around 0.5W. This calls for lower standby power consumption by the motor and power supply blocks along with innovative new technologies. Many appliances require a zero cross detection circuit for detecting the 0V point (zero cross point) of the AC waveform in order to provide efficient control of both motors and MCUs. However, in terms of power consumption, conventional...

Land & Water Services, alongside its Plant division, has successfully placed a 100t crane on to a 17-piece ravestein pontoon at the ‘Unlocking the Severn’ fish pass construction site at Holt Weir, along the River Severn in Worcestershire, on behalf of its client Kier. This marks a huge milestone for the leading wet civil engineering firm, as it’s one of the biggest crane and pontoon arrangements achieved in the business. Working on one of the fish passes, that is part of one of the largest river restorations of its kind ever attempted in Europe, the crane will be used to install a series of Legato Blocks to form the outer part of the fish pass structure, which is essential for the rare migratory fish to travel to their natural spawning grounds. As a result of the nature of site access, the lifting radius and weight of the lift resulted in the need for an extremely sizeable crane. Lucy Lee, Contracts Manager at Land & Water, says: “Our works at Holt Weir for the ‘Unlocking t...
