‘Compression Fitting’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from
ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors), which we summarised at the time by saying "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Designing joints and structural adhesives from
ITW Plexus: "Sally Sinai, technical manager of ITW Plexus, considers the issues that should be considered before designing joints to be bonded together with structural adhesives.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Misumi
- take a look at Misumi bumper mitigates shock in automated devices
which says: "Misumi USA has launched a Shock Absorbing Bumper, designed for use in a range of automated factory-automation and motion-control machinery and devices. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Stemmer Imaging, Stemmer camera has monochrome CCD sensors,
as well as Somepic shows tailored parts at aerospace exhibit from Somepic Technologie,
and Gattefin carries out specialised machining work from Gattefin.
