If don't want to send water to a lab
for phosphorous testing, the Liquiline
CA80TP analyzer will do it for you
in-house. The instrument, mostly
targeted at industrial and wastewater
plants, can take a small sample of
water and in no time calculate the
phosphorus range. The analyzer uses
thermal digestion technique along
with colorimetric analysis. Phosphorus
occurs in water as phosphate, and
enters through multiple means such
as fertilizers and industrial waste.
Phosphate can result in an excessive
number of aquatic plants growing in the
water, in turn leading to more biomass,
which increases the rate of oxygen
consumption. The analyzer helps to
quickly put diagnostics in place to
remedy issues.

ATI Industrial Automation’s U1-050 Universal Compliance Compensator combines a variety of features to
achieve the highest level of adaptability in tasks such as automated assembly, bin picking, loading and
unloading machines, robotic finishing, and more. The U1-050
UCC complies in many directions to overcome misalignment
bet ween the tool and the workpiece. The patented
mechanism is ideal for demanding high-endurance
applications and offers simultaneous X-Y lateral
compliance, X-Y-Z axis rotation, and Z compression.
The pressurized internal reset piston returns
the device to a repeatable center. The stiffness can
be tuned for specific payloads by varying the pneumatic
pressure. ATI’s UCC can be configured for either a PNP or
NPN compliance sensor and has an option for environmental
protection if it is needed. The UCC comes with a standard 50
mm ISO mounting pattern which, in many cases, eliminates
the need for interface plates.
