‘European Standard’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process from Stratophase, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from Q-Sys: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".

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 Hamamatsu Photonics , CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing, as well as NI expands HIL simulation platform from National Instruments, and SGS offers acoustic emission testing package from SGS SA - Industrial Services.
