‘Climate Change’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting from
Riley Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Riley Surface World has announced an agreement with Contracor to distribute its range of pressure-fed shot blasting systems in the UK. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release MX7 grinder makes tools with up to 16mm diameters from
Anca Industrial Supplies: "Anca's MX7 CNC grinder, which the company recently exhibited at the EMO Exhibition, can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16mm in diameter.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Nexans
- take a look at Nexans to supply ice-resistant control system
which says: "Nexans has been awarded a contract by Sevmash, a Russian shipbuilding company, to develop, manufacture and supply low-temperature and ice-resistant control, instrumentation and power cables. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Infolytica, Infolytica simulation software has 3D solvers,
as well as Delcam adds options for Powerinspect software from Delcam,
and Enginsoft distributes shape-deformation software from Enginsoft UK.
