Start with the news release
Leuze switches offer distances up to 40mm from
Leuze Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging from
Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK: "Phil Green, at Parker Hannifin's industrial division, explains how the latest nitrogen-generation technology can help food and beverage companies increase their operational efficiency and cut costs. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Wilcoxon Research
- take a look at Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification
which says: "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
Take a look also at the news release from Victrex, Talisman chooses Aptiv film for CMOS / CCD mask,
as well as Newport launches stabiliser cleanroom isolator from Newport Spectra-Physics,
and Graphalloy bushings are flange-block mounted from Graphite Metallizing Corp.
