‘Linear Motion’
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 Algor upgrades finite element analysis software from
Algor: "Algor has announced that its latest finite element analysis (FEA) software release, Algor V23, upgrades computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. ".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Adept Electronic Solutions
- take a look at Camera is optimised for 3D profiling
which says: "Photonfocus AG, Switzerland, has recently released the MV-D1024E-3D01 camera which is optimised for 3D profiling using laser triangulation. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Tube-Mac Industries , Pyplok gives spark-free pipe connection,
as well as Control Techniques offers digital DC motor drive from Control Techniques,
and Solartron offers linear displacement transducers from Solartron Metrology.
