‘Linear Encoders’
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 Bevel helical gearboxes take to the bridge from
Bonfiglioli UK Industrial Solutions: "Synchronised sets of Bonfiglioli industrial gearboxes are being used on Sydney's Harbour Bridge to drive two 60-tonne workmen's gantries. ".
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 Adept Electronic Solutions, Camera is optimised for 3D profiling ,
as well as Pyplok gives spark-free pipe connection from Tube-Mac Industries ,
and Solartron offers linear displacement transducers from Solartron Metrology.
