‘Aluminium Extrusion’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from Abssac, which we summarised at the time by saying "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Advanced Manufacturing announces Medtec 2010 from Advanced Manufacturing UK : "With focused display areas for high-tech manufacturing, packaging, materials, automation and design, Medtec UK will present all the latest technologies and tools for medical device manufacturing. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Micromech - take a look at Micromech offers complete linear motion solution which says: "Micromech's Promech linear actuators from Parker are for OEM instrument manufacturers looking to speed time to market and reduce the overall installed cost for linear motion axes. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Festo, Festo develops low-cost electric actuator, as well as Parker increases integrity of A-Lok tube fittings from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, and UK Precision helps produce synthetic body parts from UK Precision.
