Timer Relays and Switching Devices

Timer relays and switching devices are intermediaries between the intelligent logic level of the computer or other control devices and the machines or systems doing the work. Relays and switches provide high-performance isolation between the low-voltage range of the intelligent logic, and the high power consumption of the machine operation.
SchleicherUSA supplies a wide range of timer and switching relays with various features and functions, ensuring precise component selection to meet the requirements of your application.

Features include:

• Multifunction, Single function, Multi-range, Single-range and Fixed time
• On-delay, Off-delay, On-delay and Off-delay, wiper controls

Relay functions include:

• Impulse generator
• Blinker relay
• Relay for a star-delta/wye-delta switch
• Pulse counter
• Coupling relays
• Latching relays

Measurement Relays and Monitoring Devices

Rapid-response measuring and monitoring devices continuously review and evaluate all electrical and physical states. These components facilitate quick and accurate response in the event of an error. Proactive switch-off of the affected part of the system prevents damage to other unit components.
SchleicherUSA offers measurement and monitoring relays for all potential configurations.

Current and voltage monitor functions:

• Detection of low or excess voltages
• Detection of low or excess currents

Phase Monitor functions:

• Phase sequence and phase failure monitoring
• Detection of incorrect phase sequence
• Detection of dangerous phase voltage imbalance
• Detection of voltage feedback

Safety and Protective Monitor functions:

• Protection of people and machines
• Immediate interruption of the energy supply
• Monitoring of two-hand applications
• Monitoring of safety guards

Software

SIM:ONE SIMULATION SOFTWARE Users can test and analyze CNC programs and machine movement sequences on their own PC with Sim:one software. Potential risks can be detected and eliminated at an early stage, and productivity of the machine can be maximized.
SCHLEICHER GRED Schleicher GRED is a compaction software for production or logistics systems that process large quantities of real-time data. GRED reduces the size of the retained data and therefore needs less physical memory capacity; NV-RAM, hard disk and RAM share storage and access while GRED runs in the background without impairing the application.

Currently in prototype testing, a mesh-and-tarp “funnel” is assembled under the tree to catch seeds as they fall. The seeds pass through the mesh top and slide down the tarp into a sturdy wire collecting box.

Leaves on mesh cover above funnel

But what else falls in the forest? Leaves of course, and that’s where the MC360 Timer kicks in, running an array of 4 small fans for 10 seconds every 10 minutes, quickly blowing leaves off the mesh top.
If it proves effective, this low-maintenance solution may be adapted to clear leaves and debris (and critters) in seed collection programs for many species of cultivated trees. The engineer in charge of this inventive solution has used Airotronics timers for other projects and says, “The MC360 works like a charm”.

Seeds in the collector, leaf-free

The MC 360 Multifunction Relay timer is especially useful in prototyping and testing situations. With 11 timing modes available in a single unit, and time delay settings ranging from 1 second to 100 minutes, the versatile MC360 series is a cost-effective solution for fine-tuning timing functions in myriad applications.
Good news for America’s trees!

Here are Landon’s words on this galloping feat:

Inside the Mechanical Horse

Almost two years in the making, the Mechanical Horse was single-handedly designed, machined and sculpted by me, at home and in my metal shop in Brooklyn, NY.
With over 100 bearings, custom laser-cut sprockets, 30 feet of chain, 23 articulating joints and one small electric motor, this has been by far my most challenging project yet, combining my in-depth knowledge and passion for horses, my childhood mechanical experience with Legos, and most of all, my love for creation.

Multifunction Relay Timer with 5 selectable Timing Modes

What makes it go? The MC363 is wired to an external momentary initiate switch. Using the MC363′s programmable dip switches, Adrian selected the single shot timer function. When a visitor pushes the button, the initiate triggers the timer, sending 12VDC to a brushless motor and bringing the horse to life. Once the selected time period ends, the horse is at rest until the next initiate of the single shot function.

Single Shot Timing Mode

Single Shot Timing Mode Diagram

Input voltage is applied continuously. Upon closure of the initiate switch the load is energized and the time delay is started. At the end of the time delay the load is de‑energized and the timer is ready for another cycle. Maintained closure of the initiate switch will not affect the time delay period.

Production managers, product designers, mechanical engineers and artists choose Airotronics timers and controls to bring their ideas to life, too. To ensure things happen at the right time, they’re Putting Power to Work with Pelco Component Technologies.
