‘Machine Operators’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from
Q-Sys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from
ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors): "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from James Walker and Co
- take a look at James Walker designs advanced seat material
which says: "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.".
Take a look also at the news release from Heason Technology, Actuator system for sampling applications,
as well as CPS launches Corob First 70 automatic dispenser from CPS Color,
and Martek releases compact onboard DC/DC converters from Martek Power.
