Milwaukee’s M18 ROVER designed for trades on the move

Milwaukee Tool has expanded its lighting offerings with the introduction of the M18 ROVER Mounting Flood Light. Designed for trades that are constantly on the move, the new light features a spring-loaded clamp and powerful magnets that allow users to turn virtually any jobsite surface into a hanging surface and illuminate whatever they need to with its rotating, folding head.
A rotating, folding head of the M18 ROVER Mounting Flood Light quickly directs light to where it is needed most without moving the light itself, while a magnetic base allows users to stick the Flood Light to metal surfaces such as steel studs, electrical boxes, ductwork, and job boxes. According to the company, the spring-loaded reinforced clamp makes it quick and easy to mount to other common surfaces like work carts, wood studs, scissor lifts, ladders, and more. This larger capacity clamp also allows it to fit over doors, rough-in lumber, and larger piping. With the ability to rest in five different positions, it can also direct light in multiple directions and angles.
Capable of providing up to 1500 lumens of light, it can illuminate large workspaces for up to 20 hours on a single charge.

HARTING’s cable assemblies weather harsh environments

HARTING’s new expanded beam assemblies are designed to provide reliability and durability for high bandwidth transmission over fiber optics in the harshest, dirtiest operating environments. Potential users, the company says, span a range of industries and activities from tunnel boring, mining, oil and gas, power generation and transmission to outdoor broadcast and festival setups, even shipbuilding and container ports.
The cable assemblies’ high bandwidth and rugged design allows the HD video signals used in the vision systems controlling boring machines and associated equipment to be safely and securely transmitted, often over long distances.
The fiber is safely packed in a connector housing that cannot be affected by dust, water or other environmental factors. This ruggedized, 2 and 4 fibre channel, IP-68 rated (in both mated and unmated condition), fiber optic solution is designed for a temperature range of -40C to +85C. “It’s easy to install and maintain, and as a genderless connector, regular disconnection and re-connection of the cabling is easier than with standard fiber optic cabling,” the company said in a release.
