‘Powder Coating’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Ondrives introduces precision pulleys and belts from Ondrives/Rino Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "A range of precision pulleys and belts have been added to the range of precision engineered components available from Ondrives. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Variohm supplies sensors for floodlighting system from Variohm Eurosensor: "Variohm Eurosensor has supplied cable-extension position transducers as a primary component for the telescopic floodlighting systems recently installed at the Brit Oval and Lord's cricket grounds. ".

In June 2009, we covered the news from Burkert Fluid Control Systems - take a look at Flow transmitter has no moving parts which says: "The Type 8081 ultrasonic flow transmitter from Burkert is designed for use with contaminated water flows and has no moving parts, meaning it is less affected by dirty media. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Camcoat Performance Coatings, Camcoat improves efficiency of Le Mans cars, as well as Program 1000 latches allow extensive adjustments from EMKA UK, and Thin film-based gauges monitor local environments from Reynard.
