We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Designer",
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 Software helps verify truck electronics from
National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Using NI tools, Freightliner engineers integrated electrical test, machine vision and physical measurements into a system that instructs operators on the correct assembly
process".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Brakes improve safety from
Lenze: "The BFK468 brakes exchange the traditional single donut shaped coil for six individual coils positioned around the body".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Misumi
- take a look at Virtual tool shop provides new options
which says: "Misumi USA caters to custom manufacturers with an online part catalogue powered by 3D PartStream.NET".
Take a look also at the news release from Hoerbiger-Origa, Hybrids offer the best of both worlds,
as well as Touchscreen HMIs support vision sensors from Red Lion Controls,
and Motion control in the semiconductor industry from Kerk Motion Products.
