‘Functional Performance’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
XGT and XGS miniature couplings prevent vibration from
Ondrives/Rino Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ondrives has introduced a high-quality range of miniature couplings, which are displayed in the company's precision mechanical handbook.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Icona updates Aesthetica software from
Icona Solutions: "Icona Solutions has introduced version 3.1 of Aesthetica, the perceived-quality simulation and visualisation software.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Nord Drivesystems
- take a look at SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord
which says: "Nord Gear's SK 200E frequency inverter range combines a sensorless current vector drive with control and communications features in a compact IP55 or IP66 rated enclosure.".
Take a look also at the news release from Rodriguez (UK), Rodriguez releases latest Compacta geared motors,
as well as Spiral hose range enhanced with size -40 model from Eaton Corp,
and Tank-cleaning rotary spray ball for CIP tasks from Bete.
