‘Impact Strength’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from
PCB Piezotronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Aerospace and Defense division of PCB Piezotronics has introduced the Model 165B02 charge output pressure sensor to measure the internal ballistics of sporting, police and military shot guns.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release CCE expands India-based manufacturing supply chain from
CCE: "CCE has expanded its India-based manufacturing supply chain to include precision machining, sheetmetal fabrication, stamping, weldments, injection moulding, forging and assembly of parts. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from ITW Plexus
- take a look at Designing joints and structural adhesives
which says: "Sally Sinai, technical manager of ITW Plexus, considers the issues that should be considered before designing joints to be bonded together with structural adhesives.".
Take a look also at the news release from Imatek, Imatek installs second 100KJ DWTT in Korea,
as well as TEC unveils rapid-prototype machines at ACTE from Tech Ed Concepts,
and Misumi bumper mitigates shock in automated devices from Misumi.
