‘Moulding Machines’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Safety relays simplify control-system design from Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Virtalis installs immersive visualisation suite from Virtalis: "Virtalis has designed and installed an immersive visualisation suite at Case New Holland (CNH) in Modena, Italy. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Leuze Electronic - take a look at Leuze switches offer distances up to 40mm which says: "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".

Take a look also at the news release from SKF UK, SKF units improve continuous-cast milling, as well as SKS to distribute XYZ machines tools in Scotland from SKS Engineering, and Low-pressure Kistler sensors quadruple sensitivity from Kistler Instruments.
