‘Electric Motors’

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 Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount from Jena Rotary Technology: "Jena Tec can repair ballscrews of any make, type or configuration, with whichever type of ballscrew transfer system.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Laser Design - take a look at Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling which says: "Laser Design has announced that Schneider Electric recently installed a Laser Design Faro arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Heason Technology, Actuator system for sampling applications, as well as DC motors engineered for transportation purposes from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products, and CNC router reduces time to market from Micromech.
