‘Quality Control’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Safety relays simplify control-system design from
Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.".
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 Riley Industries, Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting,
as well as Parker team to develop wind-energy technology from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK,
and Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals from Autoclave Engineers.
