‘Digital Control Systems’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Stratophase
- take a look at Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process
which says: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Q-Sys, Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems,
as well as ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors),
and CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing from Hamamatsu Photonics .
