‘Membrane Switch’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Actuator system for sampling applications from
Heason Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release CPS launches Corob First 70 automatic dispenser from
CPS Color: "CPS Color, a supplier of advanced tinting systems, has launched the Corob First 70 automatic dispenser.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from IFM Electronic
- take a look at IFM releases safety monitors for AS-interface
which says: "IFM has launched new versions of its safety monitor for equipment on the AS-interface.".
Take a look also at the news release from Endress+Hauser, Liquiphant accurately measures liquid levels,
as well as Centa offers bespoke transmission designs from Centa Transmissions,
and Ethernet I/O range cuts costs in remote monitoring from Amplicon.
