Start with
the news release Lightweight motors suit pressure testing from
Lafert Electric Motors, which we summarised at the time by saying "CPS of Ipswich provides a service to construction companies that verifies their buildings' compliance with new energy saving requirements".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Twin-screw extruder specialises in compounding from
Polymer-Chemie: "Supporting a freely selectable sequence of feeding, mixing and shearing elements, Polymer-Chemie's segmented twin screw allows screw configurations to be matched exactly to the processing task".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Wyko, an Eriks Company
- take a look at Alliance consolidates sealing expertise
which says: "New division is the combination of Wyko's established seals business in the UK with the might of Eriks as a world leader in the seals market".
Take a look also at the news release from Micromech, Ceramic bearings provide long life,
as well as Linear bearings offer high load ratings from Micromech,
and Torque testing suits furniture industry from Crane Electronics.
