We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Printed Circuit Board",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lenses upgrade ID reader performance from
Cognex UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The compact design of DataMan 100 readers makes them ideal for applications where space is limited such as label printers, clinical analysers, marking equipment and document handlers".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Reconfigurable I/O system aids machine control from
National Instruments: "Engineers can quickly design, prototype and deploy the customisable, commercial off-the-shelf hardware systems for embedded machine control and data acquisition".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Schmidt-Kupplung
concerning its Loewe GK Torque
- take a look at Coupling resists twist and bend
which says: "Axially stiff coupling is suitable for a variety of applications with combined rotational and axial movements such as pick-and-place machines".
Take a look also at the news release from LG Motion, Optical encoder incorporated into guides,
as well as Motion controller packs in features from Agile Systems,
and Motion and I/O network proves popular from Danaher Motion.
