Equipped with a unique E3 CMOS gloss compensation feature, this sensor offers a 300 times larger dynamic range of measurement than the market. It offers performances which up to now were impossible for compliance audits on complex surfaces such as rubber and metal surfaces, and those that mix the two materials. The performances are also unique: the range may be of 200 mm, repeatability of 1μm and sampling frequency of 3.8 ms.

FMX is an innovative and compact switchboard system with plug-in type circuit-breakers. The system is suitable for use up to 24 kV and was specially developed for use in the supply grids of electricity suppliers and for connecting industrial and supply companies. The FMX can be custom fitted with different digital systems for protection and remote control tasks.
Russia relies a great deal on localised heat and power generation. For Impuls Industrial Boiler Plants, the opportunities for building or rebuilding large boiler houses that provide heat and power to communities, including remote industrial installations, represents a major growth market. Founded in 2002, the company has pioneered development of modular, fully automated industrial boiler houses that don’t require a human operator. A key reason for choosing EPLAN as the new design tool was the ability of the software to support electrical, process control and enclosure design on a shared platform. As a result, projects that typically took three months or more are now being completed in 5-6 weeks.
