‘Linear Guide’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Q-Sys - take a look at Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems which says: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Jena Rotary Technology, Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount, as well as Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology, and Guide covers specification of rail conduit systems from Adaptaflex.
