Start with the news release
Safety relays simplify control-system design from
Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from
Revolvo: "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Leuze Electronic
- take a look at Leuze switches offer distances up to 40mm
which says: "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Parker team to develop wind-energy technology,
as well as Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from Kistler Instruments,
and Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design from Watlow.
