‘Motion Controls’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from
Q-Sys: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Birchwood Casey
- take a look at Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion
which says: "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. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Heason Technology, Actuator system for sampling applications,
as well as Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager from Fluke (UK),
and Comsol release accesses cluster-compute power from Comsol.
