Your company, a controls system integrator, was hired by a wholesale company to perform some minor repair and upgrade work in their distribution center. As the engineer assigned to this project, your task is to create a parts list for this project. Please determine the best part number from the Automationdirect.com website for each line of the customer specification. Only a quantity of one part number is needed for each line of the specification. If more than one part number will work choose the lowest-cost item. You may find it helpful to use the recommended items, or the faceted search feature (below) from our website to find these parts.
For motors, the motor selection tool might be helpful https://www.automationdirect.com/selectors/motors

Question Title

* 1. The pneumatic air regulator on accumulation conveyor 2201-ACC needs to be replaced. The existing general-purpose regulator has ½” NPT inlet and outlet ports. The air pressure setting spec for this regulator is 60 psi. What is the best part number from AutomationDirect to replace this air regulator?

Question Title

* 2. The metering belt conveyor 3005-BM needs a new motor. The existing motor is a 230/460 VAC, 7.5 hp, 1800 rpm, high-performance inverter duty induction motor with an encoder and a 213TC frame. What is the best part number from AutomationDirect to replace this motor?

Question Title

* 3. The motor on conveyor 3005-BM is controlled by a high-performance VFD and has a brake resistor that needs to be replaced. Brake resistors are AC drive accessories that are used to help dissipate energy when stopping a motor controlled by a VFD. The existing brake resistor has ratings of 750 watts and 140 ohms. What is the best part number from AutomationDirect to replace this braking resistor?

Question Title

* 4. The long-range photoelectric sensor on the main sorter 1000-SRT has a damaged sender for the photoelectric sensor sender/receiver pair that has no visible part number on it. The receiving unit appears to be fine. The good news is they believe this sender/receiver pair was originally purchased from AutomationDirect. They only have the part number for the receiving unit which is E58-30TD250-HLP. The new emitter unit will need to connect to a 4-pin M12 connector. What is the best part number from AutomationDirect that will match this photoelectric receiver?

Question Title

* 5. The end user started using black totes in an area of the warehouse recently and they are not being detected consistently by the photoelectric sensor on gravity roller conveyor 4201-GRS now. The existing photoelectric sensor is a diffuse type photoelectric sensor and there isn’t any room to add a reflector or a through-beam pair sensor. The new sensor will also need to be a diffuse sensor but one that is capable of detecting dark objects. Additional information about the existing sensor are as follows: powered by 24VDC, PNP, needs to detect an object 50mm away and has a 4-pin M12 connector. What is the best part number from AutomationDirect to solve the sensing problem and be able to detect black-colored totes?

Question Title

* 6. The end user wants to add additional quality control on a bottling line. They are looking for an intelligent sensor that can visually detect whether a bottle’s cap is present or missing and provide a pass/fail signal for each bottle. The sensor needs to be simple to set up and easy to maintain. What is the best part number from AutomationDirect to provide this quality control solution and be able to detect the presence of a bottle cap? (Hint: this would be an identification product)

Question Title

* 7. If this entire parts list was purchased on one order, what is the cost for shipping and freight for this entire order if you choose the least expensive option?
