We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "M16",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lock switch resists water and fire from
Lorlin Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The WRLM miniature key-operated lock switch has a zinc alloy bright chrome-plated lock housing and up to 200 possible key combinations".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Thread checking system automates monitoring from
SMAC Europe: "SMAC's in-line thread checking system is designed for applications where conventional solutions such as cameras, vision systems, lasers or Eddy current probes are problematic or unsuccessful".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Turck
concerning its Turck's powerfast connectors
- take a look at Connectors provide IP67 protection
which says: "Turck's powerfast connectors are excellent for conveyor, small motor and material handling applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Bighead Bonding Fasteners, Technical partnership advances composites,
as well as RFID system writes and reads from transponders from Contrinex UK,
and Limit switches have all safety options covered from Carlo Gavazzi.
