‘Motion Controller’

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 Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion from Birchwood Casey: "Birchwood Casey offers a full line of eight different aqueous and solvent-based inhibitors and sealants to prevent rust and corrosion on all metal surfaces. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Heason Technology - take a look at Actuator system for sampling applications which says: "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. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Saft Industrial Batteries, Saft shows battery technologies for telecom market, as well as Lifebatt offers high-power expertise from Lifebatt, and DTS system monitors power cable temperature from Lios Technology.
