‘Dimensional Tolerances’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
James Walker designs advanced seat material from
James Walker and Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Ondrives simplifies online ordering process from
Ondrives: "Ondrives is introducing its redesigned website, which was officially launched on 4 November 2009.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Renishaw
- take a look at Renishaw system checks rotary-axis alignment
which says: "Renishaw has extended its range of machine-tool testing and calibration systems with Axiset Check-Up, a solution for checking the alignment and positioning performance of rotary axes.".
Take a look also at the news release from Freudenberg Simrit LP, Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing ,
as well as BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations from BNS Nuclear Services,
and Royal Products tools incorporate quality steels from Royal Products.
