A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Schaeffler has linear guidance for patients from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Varian Medical Systems (VMS) UK, a manufacturer of radiotherapy machines, is using precision linear guidance systems supplied by Schaeffler. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Cross unveils in-line automatic backwashing filter from
Cross Manufacturing Co (1938): "Cross Manufacturing has introduced an in-line automatic backwashing filter incorporating intelligent valve actuation technologies. ".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Algor
- take a look at Algor upgrades finite element analysis software
which says: "Algor has announced that its latest finite element analysis (FEA) software release, Algor V23, upgrades computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Sensor-Technik UK, Universal controller for vehicle hydraulics,
as well as Camera is optimised for 3D profiling from Adept Electronic Solutions,
and Rotork adds wireless to digital control from Rotork Controls.
