An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing from Verderflex, which we summarised at the time by saying "Peterson Packaging, a Danish printing company, has selected the Verderflex Dura peristaltic pump to gently handle water-based ink.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from Sherborne Sensors: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Hepcomotion - take a look at Hepcomotion rings produced in dedicated cell which says: "Hepcomotion is able to supply single-piece rings in diameters up to 1.8m, which are produced in a dedicated machining cell, giving improved lead times. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Animatics, OEMDynamics enhances linear belt drive, as well as Emerson Smart Wireless monitors resin products from Emerson Process Management, and Centa offers bespoke transmission designs from Centa Transmissions.
