‘Linear Scale’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from
SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from
Abssac: "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Objet Geometries Europe
- take a look at Digital material pack enables model creation
which says: "Objet Geometries has released a digital material pack that allows manufacturers and designers to create parts and models for product-design testing, simulation and validation. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Renishaw, Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions,
as well as IFM PMD camera sees in three dimensions at once from IFM Electronic,
and Ansys launches software bundle for universities from Ansys.
