LineWise® has updated its Insulated Work Platform (IWP), including the option to hydraulically articulate the jib up to 45 degrees for improved access to hard-to-reach areas. The IWP is designed for installation on hydraulically telescoping cranes to increase the utilization of existing equipment. This versatility not only reduces the need for expensive, dedicated insulated aerial equipment, but it also offers a solution for utilities struggling to procure bucket trucks in the current market. Equipped with a corona ring, the IWP is rated for barehand work up to 765 kV.

Honeywell’s Underground Utility Locating and Data Capturing Services provide gas, electric and water utility companies and municipalities with an advanced digitalized approach to the traditional “paint and flags” practice of utility line locating. By harnessing survey-grade, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data, Honeywell Underground Utility Locating and Data Capturing Services allows for the building of digital libraries of sub-centimeter maps. These digital maps enable underground utility lines to be located more quickly, efficiently, and precisely, ultimately preparing for the future of reusable data.

With the GP42-N series, Nanotec now offers low-noise planetary gearboxes for brushless DC motors and stepper motors with NEMA 17 flange (42 mm). The helical toothing allows the teeth to mesh gradually which results in a smoother transmission of forces so that vibrations and noise are reduced. Since the planetary gears and the ring gear are made of top-of-the-line, wear-resistant plastic, the new gearboxes are significantly quieter than conventional straight-geared products. The gearboxes are available in single- and two-stage versions with seven different reductions and offer an output torque from 0.8 to 4.9 Nm. For use in harsh environments, the gearboxes are protected against penetration by dust and liquids according to IP54.
