‘Induction Motors’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from
Wilcoxon Research, which we summarised at the time by saying "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release WEG motors drive Brazilian theme-park attractions from
WEG Electric Motors: "WEG motors, inverters and soft starters are allowing the safe operation of equipment at the Beto Carrero World theme park, located in Santa Catarina, Brazil. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Galil Motion Control
- take a look at Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance
which says: "Galil Motion Control has provided a DMC-4020 controller for the US Border Patrol's surveillance system. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, Emerson installs controls at Korean plants,
as well as Ansys launches software bundle for universities from Ansys,
and Bosch plant makes one-hundred millionth HFM from Bosch Automotive OE Division.
