New Zealand Engineering 1998 November New Zealand Engineering marketplace A
new series of more compact high efficiency Sumitomo Buddybox shaft mounted
speed reducers is available from Maud, Kirk Machinery Ltd, the sole New
Zealand agents. A combination of the proven Sumitomo Cyclo speed
reducer and a single stage helical or bevel gearbox, the Buddybox incorporates
the well-known shock load characteristics of the cycloidal reducer with
the adaptability of a shaft-mounted design. This makes it safer,
quieter and needing less maintenance than any conventional shaft mount.
Easy installation with six model sizes - output torques from 63 Nm to 6,
774 Nm and driving performance up to 22 kW. For further information
phone 0-4-566 6129.
Acts Electronics Ltd has been ISO 9002 certified since 1993 and concentrates on contract assembly work. Work ranges from putting plugs on cables through to manufacturing a complete piece of equipment. Many customers, eg. BRANZ, Tranz Rail and Victoria University, use the company for their prototyping. Phone 0-4-569 3042. Glass, electronics, ceramics, precision equipment and other fragile items can be transported safely over long distances when protected by a packaging system which quickly moulds low-density urethane foam around individual contours. Made in New Zealand and supplied at a much lower cost than imported equivalents, the system is fully supported by the sole suppliers Polymer Developments Group of Auckland. The plastic foam, Endurapack 0810, is squirted or premoulded into inexpensive plastic bags which set firmly against the items to be protected. Commissioning and operator training takes less than two hours and the system can be started up in 15 minutes. Freephone 0800 999 001. The long awaited Standards Australia and Standards NZ draft Standard, entitled Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Specification with Guidance for Use, was released in July.

Major features include a timesaving two speed design; available in three reservoir sizes (4.5, 9 and 20 litre); single-phase motors wired for 230 VAC, five basic pumps. E-mail: info@enerpac.com.au. Algor Inc of Pittsburgh, manufacturers of software for mechanical engineers, have new Release 12 software, the company's most comprehensive range since 1990. The software features an all-new unified software user interface with live data checking to prevent input errors during a finite element analysis (FEA). Improved data input screens, CAD interfacing features and engineering capabilities support the new user interface. The software is available for Windows 95 or 98 and PC workstations running Windows/NT. E-mail: info@algor.com. Dallas Semiconductor has announced three new devices in its family of EconOscillators. Each of the reprogrammable, single-chip devices provides system reference frequencies using less board space than alternative devices. They extend the family by adding 3-volt operation, industrial temperature range operation, and TO-92 packaging. EconOscillators provide design engineers onboard programmable clock reference frequency. Multiple output frequencies in the 30 kHz to 100 MHz range are possible through the use of a master oscillator followed by a user-programmable, on-chip prescaler and divider. Phone Dallas (972) 371 4448. Software exporter and developer Delphic Medical Systems Ltd has developed an Internet based product to help New Zealand businesses in the manufacturing and other sectors comply with stringent OSH laws.
