‘Leadscrews’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Actuator system for sampling applications from
Heason Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Heason unveils positioning actuator system from
Heason Technology: "Heason Technology has launched a modular actuator range for pick and place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
In June 2009, we covered the news from Abssac
- take a look at Abssac stocks up on power screws and nuts
which says: "Abssac has invested in stocks of trapezoidal thread-form power screws and nuts. ".
Take a look also at the news release from LG Motion, LG catalogue details positioning mechanics,
as well as Huco Dynatork launches piston air motor from Huco Dynatork,
and Miniature leadscrews handle precision tasks from Kerk Motion Products.
