In order to meet the needs of increasingly mobile customers and employees, Eaton is offering a mobile
solution for communication and product information.
Clearly designed shelf view

The Eaton Catalogs app offers an outstandingly clear user interface and several fully developed functions.In
the form of a shelf view, the user is provided with a clear overview of Eaton's latest product catalogs.These
can be leafed through on the fly or downloaded to the device – for situations when there is no Internet
access. Choose for yourself which catalogs are of interest and keep up-to-date using the Update function.
Intuitive browsing, searching and finding

Users can simply browse through the catalogs with intuitive navigation ensured. A linked table of
contents, thumbnail views and a rapid search function are also provided for finding information quickly
and conveniently.
Linked data sheets

It is often the case that product information is required which is not available in the product catalogs. The
“Eaton Catalogs” contain article numbers and type designations that are linked to the Online Catalog. This
enables the user to access highly detailed production information in the form of a technical data sheet.
From here other documents such as installation instructions and technical publications can be called up.
Whether on the building site, at the customer, on the train or at

home – “Eaton Catalogs” make sure that all product information is
close to hand.

Molding
Injection blow molding machines transform raw plastic into molded bottles. These
machines heat the plastic, inject it into a cavity, and expand the plastic to its final shape.
Capacitive sensors and photoelectric sensors can be used to detect the level of plastic
pellets in the input hopper; to verify tooling positions and count parts coming out of the
molds; and can be used after the operation to verify correct bottle volume and
dimensions at much lower cost and complexity than vision-based systems.
Transporting
Air transport moves product from one station to the
next at incredible speed, all while a vacuum seal on
open containers keeps bottles contaminant-free.
Along the line, specialized photoelectric sensors with
an ability to detect clear objects can be used to count
bottles as they fly by, also looking for unusual gaps
between adjacent products that might indicate a
missing or dropped product.
Filling
Photoelectric sensors can be used to detect both
bottle and filler positions and capacitive sensors
or specialized photoelectric sensors can be used
to confirm correct fluid fill levels.
Capping
As the filled bottles are moved to the capping
machine, photoelectric sensors detect bottle position,
and capacitive sensors can be used to confirm correct
fluid fill levels. Depending on the type of cap,
photoelectric and/or inductive sensors can be used to
inspect for correct cap placement and tightening.
Once capped, the bottles are wrapped in a plastic seal
that contains special UV dyes. As the bottles leave the
machine, specialized UV-sensitive photoelectric
sensors can be used to confirm the presence of the
safety seal around the cap.
Packing
Bottles are batched into groupings of twelve, and moved over a cardboard box blank.
The side of the cardboard is then folded up, around the product, to form the final
product box. Photoelectric sensors can be used at this stage to count bottles during the
batching process, to ensure that the cardboard box blank is present, and to verify the
position of the batch as it is moved into place for the packing step. Sensors can also be
used to verify that box sides have been folded up to the correct height, and to count
finished packages moving on to a palletizer or a finished goods station.

1)Measurement resolution is the sensor’s ability to detect a change in target position.
The measurement resolution is the finest at the highest point in the curve.
2)Output resolution is the change in output signal relative to target position.
The minimum change in output resolution is defined by the lowest point in the curve.

Distance Sensing Explained

Distance sensors output a 0–10V
analog signal in proportion to the
measurement of the distance between
the sensor and target. Optical
triangulation, a technology similar to
that used in Eaton’s Perfect Prox or
diffuse sensors, is used for short- to
mid-range distance sensing
applications that do not require a high
degree of accuracy. For distance
sensing applications that involve
longer ranges, time-of-flight
technology is used instead."Time-of-
flight" is a method that measures the
time it takes for the emitted beam to
bounce off the target and return to the
sensor. Time-of-flight is highly
accurate, with precise resolution over
long sensing distances.

Worldwide export of machines
and plants
European machine and system building and worldwide exports are
closely related. Even if you don't export your machines at present,
you should be prepared for it in the future. Eaton provides switchgear
and protective devices with all the essential approvals and certificates
for machine and system building. In most countries around the world,
conformity with international standards is the sole requirement for
successful exports. This is because components in these locations
are governed by compliance with well known and established IEC
standards. In this respect, the European CE mark is not only the
passport for exports within Europe but also far beyond its borders.
World market equipment for machine building

Nearly all the switchgear and protective devices of Eaton's Moeller® series
are world market devices. Each product line thus carries all the approvals and
certification marks required for worldwide use.
These product lines include those for
• Pilot devices, limit switches
• Contactors and various timing and special relays
• Motor-protective circuit-breakers and relays
• Electronic components and systems.
With circuit-breakers and switch-disconnectors, Eaton offers IEC devices for
use in most countries in the world and NA devices with virtually the same
dimensions and the same accessories for the North American market. This
considerably simplifies device selection since the North American standards
often involve the need for considerably different technical specifications.

Qualified information is a critical key to success

The Eaton Main Catalogue for Moeller® series products provides reliable
information for machine and panel builders on the approval of compo-
nents deployed for North American market. Each selection page provides
information such as the relevant product standard, the E-File Number, the
Category Control Number or the CSA Class Number. Many customers
incorporate this information in their parts lists in order to be well prepared
for the acceptance procedures.
Up to 13 data items are listed here for

each product, such as the suitability for
use in feeders or branch circuits, the
maximum operating voltage, or the North
American degree of protection, such as
UL / CSA Type 4X. The Main Catalogue
also contains a glossary with explanations
of the American terms.
The link http://www.moeller.net/eaton-approbationen/en/index.jsp shows

the relevant approvals or permits for each component type. This therefore
enables you to view the certificates provided or, depending on the test
authority, also the product report. The information given is the same as
what is provided in the databases of the authorities.
