‘Electric Motors’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Torque arms eliminate screw-fastening errors from Mountz, which we summarised at the time by saying "The new EZ-Glider Position Control torque arms from Mountz are designed to help manufacturers detect and eliminate costly screw-fastening errors during assembly processes.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Jet Edge's 5 x 5ft waterjet cuts most materials from Jet Edge: "Jet Edge's 5 x 5ft (1.524 x 1.524m) Mid Rail Gantry waterjet system is an ideal waterjet cutting solution for shops that cut smaller material or have limited floor space available for machine tools.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Control Techniques - take a look at MLS10 APT quickly tests runways and highways which says: "Control Techniques is offering the MLS10 Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) device, which features contactless linear-induction motors that eliminate drive-train fatigue and wear. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Rodriguez, BPI selects Framo Mini 3 actuator to wind film , as well as PLC and Bus Extension ensures consistent data from Rittal, and Ormec releases Motionset commissioning software from Ormec Systems.
