‘Electric Motor’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from Q-Sys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ". 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 Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology, and Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager from Fluke (UK).
