An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Spelsberg's IP66 TK enclosures protect Omnisava from
Spelsberg els UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Watersavers is using Spelsberg's tough IP66 TK range of enclosures to house its Omnisava energy saving device.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Insulfoam installs PBC linear guide system from
PBC Linear: "The PBC Linear Integral V linear guide system has been used to improve reliability and precision at Insulfoam. ".
In July 2008, we covered the news from Spelsberg els UK
- take a look at Enclosure company celebrates ten years in business
which says: "Spelsberg has a range of over 300 polycarbonate, polystyrene and aluminium electrical enclosures. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Spelsberg els UK, Enclosure catalogue is dedicated to UK market,
as well as Recycled polystyrene cuts environmental impact from Axion Polymers,
and Drinking water approval speeds time to market from Sabic Innovative Plastics.
