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 Leuze switches offer distances up to 40mm from
Leuze Electronic: "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from SICK (UK)
- take a look at SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event
which says: "SICK will use the upcoming Manufacturing Technology Scotland event on 11-12 November, which is to be held at the SECC in Glasgow, to further publicise its Industrial Instrumentation Division.".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging,
as well as LPC-395F fanless PC features removable storage from Stealth Computer Corporation,
and Talisman chooses Aptiv film for CMOS / CCD mask from Victrex.
