‘Permanent Magnet’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release MX7 grinder makes tools with up to 16mm diameters from Anca Industrial Supplies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Anca's MX7 CNC grinder, which the company recently exhibited at the EMO Exhibition, can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16mm in diameter.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech: "Micromech's Promech linear actuators from Parker are for OEM instrument manufacturers looking to speed time to market and reduce the overall installed cost for linear motion axes. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division - take a look at AC drives permit wider use of magnet motors which says: "Parker Hannifin has launched a range of AC drives that allows energy-efficient permanent magnet motors to be used in a wide range of pump, fan and compressor applications. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Infolytica, Infolytica simulation software has 3D solvers, as well as Captive-screw products include UL-approved types from PennEngineering, and ARRK SLS prototypes available in range of colours from ARRK Australia and New Zealand.
