An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing from
Verderflex, which we summarised at the time by saying "Peterson Packaging, a Danish printing company, has selected the Verderflex Dura peristaltic pump to gently handle water-based ink.".
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 Imatek
- take a look at Imatek installs second 100KJ DWTT in Korea
which says: "Imatek has successfully installed a DWT40-100 drop weight tear tester (DWTT) at Hyundai Steel in South Korea. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Tech Ed Concepts, TEC unveils rapid-prototype machines at ACTE,
as well as Weld controller manages three transformers from Merlin Control Systems,
and CNC router reduces time to market from Micromech.
