The team at Cynebar would like to keep you informed on the updates of what is happing here, therefore this insures that you are aware of what's new throughout the year.
Monday the 2nd of March 2009:
Cynebar is now the official Queensland distributor for Watlow.
some of you may be wondering, what is Watlow? In today's volatile and competitive market it is essential for companies to work with suppliers that will provide cutting-edge technologies in thermal solutions Watlow assembles the components of a thermal system, allowing us to recommend, develop, and deliver the optimum thermal solution for our customer's equipment and process heat requirements.
consequently Cynebar is proud to support your requirements, offering you an early lead in product design and fast product launch to market.

New EZ-Zone Temperature Controllers:
NO-ARC Technology Extends High Amperage Power Switching in Controllers Watlow® has developed NO-ARC technology that extends the life of relays. A NO-ARC relay is a mechanical relay with arc suppression provided through the use of smart electronics. This technology reduces the amount of arcing across the relay contacts and has a life of more than four million cycles compared to relays without arc suppression that have about 100,000.
Standard relays typically consist of two separate and independent circuits. The first (a coil) drives the electromagnet. When the switch is on, the electromagnet is on, and it attracts the armature. The armature acts as a switch in the second circuit (the contacts). When the electromagnet is energized, the armature completes the second circuit. Standard relays can experience arcing, or surges in current. When an arc jumps across the contacts, it can melt a small section of the contact surface and contacts can weld together. This can render the relay unusable.
Watlow has incorporated this new technology into its EZ-ZONE® family of integrated controllers. The EZ-ZONE PM and EZ-ZONE RM controllers can be configured as an on/off, PID, over/under limit controller or these functions can be combined into one integrated controller with field communications such as Ethernet/IP™, DeviceNet®, Modbus® or PROFIBUS. EZ-ZONE controllers featuring NO-ARC technology support up to 15 ampere loads and over two million cycles under max operating loads (240V~(ac), five second cycle time).
