‘Handling System’

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 Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Blue Chip Technology - take a look at BCT extends Resolution HMI SBC options which says: "Blue Chip Technology (BCT) has followed up the launch of its Resolution HMI single-board computer kit with the release of a supporting Linux BSP and the addition of a 7in LCD module. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Stratophase, Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process, as well as Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount from Jena Rotary Technology, and ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from ITT Interconnect Solutions.
