‘Prototype’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Load cell measures small forces in deep water from Novatech Measurements, which we summarised at the time by saying "Novatech Measurements and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has enabled the development of a 1kg rated low-range load cell for underwater use. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Schaeffler launches enhanced ball roller range from Schaeffler (UK): "The Schaeffler Group has launched a complete family of ball roller bearings, which offers reduced friction and allows bearing mass and width to be decreased by 20 per cent. ".
 
In June 2009, we covered the news from Roland DG (UK) - take a look at Modela MDX-40A 3D creates models from CAD data which says: "Roland DG has introduced the Modela MDX-40A 3D desktop milling machine.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Saft Batteries, Saft develops lithium battery for launch vehicles, as well as PBC offers linear guides, bearings and actuators from PBC Linear, and NSF custom-designs solenoids from NSF Controls.
