We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cleanroom",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release New facility provides photo-etching upgrade from
Precision Micro, which we summarised at the time by saying "Precision Micro has made a substantial investment in new manufacturing machines and equipment to take the photo-etching process to new levels of precision and repeatability".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Actuator handles heavy loads quickly from
Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation: "Parker Electromechanical's HPLA linear actuator has a thrust force of 5500N and will carry loads of up to 1.6 tonnes at speeds up to 5m/s".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Kuka Robotics
concerning its Kuka KR5 Sixx CR six-axis cleanroom robot
- take a look at Six-axis cleanroom robot unveilled
which says: "Kuka Robotics will introduce its new Kuka KR5 Sixx CR six-axis cleanroom and splash-proof robot at the 2007 International Display Symposium Exhibition in Long Beach, California 20th-25th May".
Take a look also at the news release from Troax UK, Partitioning system adopted by healthcare company,
as well as BOHS announces beneficiaries of bursary from British Occupational Hygiene Society,
and Brochure highlights motion options from Aerotech.
