Start with the news release MMU to hold Profibus/Profinet training courses from Manchester Metropolitan University, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Profibus International Competence Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University has announced its Profibus and Profinet training course schedule through to the end of 2010. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Transducers now offer higher EMC noise immunity from Gefran: "Gefran's MK4-S and IK4-S magnetostrictive linear position transducers now feature increased performance and higher EMC noise immunity thanks to an improved electronic design.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from TM Robotics - take a look at TM releases latest Toshiba SCARA robot which says: "TM Robotics has introduced the latest Toshiba Machine SCARA robot across Europe.".
