We all know vertical centrifugal pumps and horizontal centrifugal pumps, both of which are centrifugal pumps. It can be used in everyone's daily life. So what is the difference between these two pumps? And what are the differences? For this issue, laisteel.com will give you a brief explanation so that you can have a more detailed understanding of these two pumps.

Diaphragm pump is a new type of mechanical transportation equipment, which can be used for all kinds of corrosive liquids, liquids with particles, high viscosity, volatile, flammable and highly toxic liquids. Diaphragm pumps are divided into pneumatic diaphragm pumps and electric diaphragm pumps, and their materials are engineering plastics, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, cast iron, etc.

An electric actuator is a drive device that provides linear or rotary motion. It uses certain driving energy and works under the action of a certain control signal. Actuators use liquid, gas, electricity, or other energy sources and convert them into drive-through motors, cylinders, or other devices. The basic types are Part-Turn, Multi-Turn, and Linear.
An electric actuator is also called a valve electric device, which is the name in different industries. In the industrial pipeline valve industry, it is called a valve electric device, and in the instrument industry, it is called an electric actuator.

Soldering stations and soldering irons are common tools in soldering operations. In fact, the soldering station is also a kind of electric soldering iron. Many people call the soldering station an electric soldering iron. The soldering station is just a new welding tool that appears in the electronic welding process due to the development requirements of welding technology. Now the soldering station has developed a lot.

Limit switches are used to control the travel and limit protection of mechanical equipment. In actual production, the travel limit switch is installed in a pre-arranged position. When the module installed on the moving parts of the production machinery hits the travel switch, the contacts of the travel limit switch act to realize the switching of the circuit. Therefore, the limit switch is an electrical appliance that switches the circuit according to the travel position of the moving part, and its working principle is similar to that of a button. Limit switches are widely used in various machine tools and hoisting machinery to control their travel and perform terminal limit protection. In the control circuit of the elevator, the travel limit switch is also used to control the speed of opening and closing the car door, the limit of automatic door opening and closing, and the upper and lower limit protection of the car.

An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature. An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto. Alternators in power stations driven by steam turbines are called turbo-alternators.

The use of air compressors is very extensive. It can be used in instrument control and automation devices, such as tool change in machining centers.

A photoelectric sensor is a device that converts optical signals into electrical signals. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon of the corresponding electrical effect occurring when the electrons of the material absorb the energy of photons when light is irradiated on certain substances. Photoelectric switch is generally used for automation equipment. This blog mainly introduces how does a PLC control photoelectric sensor?

The proximity sensor is the general name of sensors that replace the contact detection methods such as limit switches and do not need to contact the detection object for the purpose of detection. It can detect the movement information and existence information of the object and convert them into electrical signals.

A liquid level sensor is a device used to monitor, maintain and measure the level of liquids (and sometimes solids). Once the liquid level is detected, the sensor converts sensed data into an electrical signal. The main types of liquid level sensors are ultrasonic liquid level sensors, capacitive liquid level sensors, photoelectric liquid level sensors, microwave optical sensors, etc., and their applications are as follows:

Brix refractometers are a common instrument used to measure the sugar content of a solution. Increasing sugar content leads to an increase in the refractive index. By passing light through a sample and measuring the refraction, the amount that the light bends, the sugar content can be measured.

The dew point meter is an instrument that can directly measure the dew point humidity. Place a mirror in the sample of the humid air to cool down until the moment when dew droplets (or ice crystals) appear on the mirror. The dew point meter can measure the average temperature of the mirror, which is the dew point (frost) temperature.

The working process of the main circuit of the linear DC power supply is that the input power supply is initially AC stabilized by the pre-stabilizing circuit, and then converted into a DC power supply through the isolation and rectification of the main working transformer, and then under the intelligent control of the control circuit and the single-chip microprocessor controller. The linear adjustment element is finely adjusted to output a high-precision DC voltage source. The linear DC power supply products can be widely used in scientific research, colleges and universities, laboratories, industrial and mining
enterprises, electrolysis, electroplating, charging equipment, etc.

Generally, using PLC as an intermediate tool for HMI to control VFD is a good choice. Now, let’s us establish and HMI to control the VFD project. We need to communicate with an Omron PLC and use the PLC commands to control the VFD. Set the PLC model and communication parameters (RS232, Host Link communication protocol) that need to be communicated.

Foam cutting is a device for processing materials in the chemical industry such as foam and sponges. It mainly uses the high temperature of the laser machine for cutting because the thin cutting of the laser beam is not easy to deform, the incision is smooth, and there is no paste edge. The object can be rubber, glass, stainless steel, plastic, aluminum alloy, or metal.

As the seasons are changing and climate change is unpredictable, we start to think of the various maintenance needed around the home such as changing the furnace filters, changing smoke detector batteries, making sure we have a good battery in our vehicle, etc. So, this is also a good time to do a check-up and perform general maintenance on your phase converter!

A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, machines, robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability, ease of programming, and process fault diagnosis. A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of motor drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and, depending on topology, to control associated voltage or current variation.

A single-phase isolation transformer is a transformer whose primary winding is a single-phase winding. The primary winding and secondary winding of a single-phase transformer are wound on the iron core. The primary winding is the AC voltage input terminal, and the secondary winding is the AC voltage output terminal. The output voltage of the secondary winding is proportional to the number of turns of the coil. A single-phase transformer can convert high-voltage power supply into single-phase low-voltage for use in various equipment. For example, AC 6600V high voltage can be converted into AC 220V low-voltage through a single-phase transformer to supply power for lighting or other equipment. The single-phase transformer has a simple structure, With the advantages of small size and low loss, it is suitable for use in low-voltage distribution lines (below 60Hz) with less load.

Air compressor is a device used to compress gas. The air compressor is similar in construction to the water pump. Most air compressors are designed by reciprocating piston, rotary vane or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are very large applications. Next, we will introduce the structure of the air compressor. We hope that after reading this article, you will have a better understanding of air compressors.

Through beam photoelectric switch is composed of a light emitter and a light receiver, and the detection distance can be increased by separating the light emitter and the light receiver. Its detection distance can reach several meters or even tens of meters. When in use, the light-emitting device and the light-receiving device are respectively installed on both sides of the passing path of the detection object. When the detection object passes through, the light path is blocked, and the light-receiving device acts to output a switch control signal.
