Start with the news release
SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord from
Nord Drivesystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nord Gear's SK 200E frequency inverter range combines a sensorless current vector drive with control and communications features in a compact IP55 or IP66 rated enclosure.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Frequency inverter range available up to 22kW from
Nord Drivesystems: "Nord Gear has announced that its SK 500E frequency inverter range is now fully available up to 22kW.".
In June 2009, we covered the news from Aerotech
- take a look at Aerotech adds vertical translation stage to ANT
which says: "Aerotech has added a vertical translation stage to its ANT range of nanotranslation linear position stages.".
Take a look also at the news release from Tolomatic, Tolomatic unveils programmable integrated actuator,
as well as Servo controllers synchronise high-speed switching from Rotalink,
and Micro-Epsilon introduces Scancontrol 2710 sensor from Micro-Epsilon UK.
