An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort from
Ansys: "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Verderflex
- take a look at Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing
which says: "Peterson Packaging, a Danish printing company, has selected the Verderflex Dura peristaltic pump to gently handle water-based ink.".
Take a look also at the news release from Jena Rotary Technology, Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount,
as well as Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from Sherborne Sensors,
and Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from Laser Design.
