‘Electric Drive’

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 ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors): "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from Jena Rotary Technology - take a look at Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount which says: "Jena Tec can repair ballscrews of any make, type or configuration, with whichever type of ballscrew transfer system.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Laser Design, Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling, as well as Servosoft ECM determines energy costs from ControlEng Corp, and Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology.
