‘Injection Moulding’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from Laser Design, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laser Design has announced that Schneider Electric recently installed a Laser Design Faro arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Designing joints and structural adhesives from ITW Plexus: "Sally Sinai, technical manager of ITW Plexus, considers the issues that should be considered before designing joints to be bonded together with structural adhesives.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management - take a look at Emerson wireless technology monitors pump seals which says: "Samarco has seen a 12 per cent increase in production at its Germano Mine in Mariana, Brazil, with the application of Emerson's Smart Wireless technology. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Instron, Instron introduces syringe test fixture, as well as IDC offers in-house injection moulding service from Industrial Design Consultancy (IDC), and PH30F diaphragm pumps transfer viscous fluids from Ingersoll-Rand European Sales.
