‘Process Industries’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from
Revolvo, which we summarised at the time by saying "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Leuze develops data tracking for production line from
Leuze Electronic: "Luxottica has worked with Leuze to develop a complete system for the collection of production tracking data on specific sunglasses production lines. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from SKF UK
- take a look at SKF units improve continuous-cast milling
which says: "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Abssac, Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates,
as well as Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from HEM Data Corp,
and SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event from SICK (UK).
