‘Orbital Welding’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Weld controller manages three transformers from Merlin Control Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Merlin Control Systems has developed a version of the PWC8 range of weld control units that is suitable for multiple transformer machines, or more complex DC machines. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Robot to inspect nozzle welds in nuclear reactors from Phoenix Inspection Systems: "A EUR1.4m (GBP1.3m) research and development project aims to develop a lightweight robot for the automated inspection of nozzle welds in nuclear reactors. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Stemmer Imaging - take a look at Stemmer camera has monochrome CCD sensors which says: "Stemmer Imaging's latest camera offering, the JAI AD-081CL, features two monochrome progressive scan CCD sensors mounted to a custom-designed optical prism. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Espace, Espace to demonstrate machining at Aerotech, as well as Gattefin carries out specialised machining work from Gattefin, and IFM magnetic meters accept higher flow rates from IFM Electronic.
