We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Eurocard",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Non-contact sensors offer high precision from
IBS Precision Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "Elite CPL drivers are complemented by a range of one, two, three, six and eight-slot Eurocard enclosures, enabling simple set-up and operation using front panel controls".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Acquisition system measures up to 164 channels from
RDP Electronics: "The Modular 600 is a fully featured microprocessor instrumentation system, which also incorporates configurable analogue outputs".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Bosch Rexroth - Hydraulics
concerning its HACD digital controllers
- take a look at Hydraulic upgrade boosts productivity
which says: "Linear slide manufacturer Accuride is benefiting from improved manufacturing productivity, enhanced reliability, reduced chemical consumption and faster startup".
Take a look also at the news release from Edinburgh Instruments, Sensors measure water pollution,
as well as Refrigerant gas detectors can be integrated from Edinburgh Instruments,
and Microsteppers take their drives onboard from Baldor UK.
