     Dear Reader.
Recently, whilst undertaking some internet resereach, we stumbled upon some interesting facts from 2010.

For example, did you know that back in July of that year, Facebook announced that it had officially reached 500 million members? - a staggering feat considering that just ten years earlier, in 2000, there were only 361 million people around the world using the internet!

Also, in the same year, Twitter confimed that more than 20 billion tweets had now been sent - a truly mind blowing figure.

And in 2010, do you recall that researchers at CERNīs Geneva laboratories generated and collected the first sample of antihydrogen, allowing scientists to compare matter and antimatter - one of the biggest mysteries of science?

With a focus on the future we donīt normally look back, but this research started us thinking about the host of new products we launched last year and following our customerīs feedback the "star performers of the year" - Series LEF, PF3W and ZSE/ISE10.

Welcome to our May edition of e-Matters - which takes a quick look at these star products again.

  "2010 Star Performers" at a glance
    

Series LEF: a new range of "easy to use" electric actuators

- These competively priced actuators offer excellent accuracy and repeatablility of the intermediate positions, plus their speed and force control meets the requirements of many applications in the market. These actuators have been developed to meet the needs of our customers - good technical performance, high quality and great prices.
- The easy programming provided by the LEC controller reduces the labour cost for setting-up the electric actuator.
- Both lightweight and compact in size, these actuators are ideal when a reduction of machine size is needed and when overall weight is an issue.

Our SMC specialists recommend it for: Pick and Place Systems, Manipulation Applications and Automatic Storage Systems.

Series PF3W: High visibilty digital flow switch delivers accurate water temperature and flow control

- The simultaneous display of temperature and flow rate and the possibility to rotate the display makes possible to have a better visual control of these parameters no matter how the PF3W is mounted on the installation.
- The compact dimensions of the PF3W enables an easier installation in cooling systems and contributes to the reduction of the overall dimensions

Our SMC specialists recommend it for: Cooling Systems

Series ISE/ZSE10: high performance, ultra thin digital pressure switches when lack of available space is an issue


- Extremely easy to set-up and with a copy function to enable the same settings to be copied to other ISE/ZSE10 in the application, programming labour time is reduced dramatically and potential manual programming mistakes are eliminated.
- The compact dimensions of these pressure switches are particularly suitable for pitch mounting thereby reducing the overall dimensions of the machineīs control panel.

Our SMC specialists recommend it for: Confirmation of pressure/vacuum levels in Packaging and Picking Applications.
