Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Actuators stand the test of reliability from
SMAC Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electric actuators replace pneumatics in QC and switch test applications thanks to the high degree of precise force control and programmability".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Valve company makes new acquisition from
Severn Glocon: "Design Paradigm services range from simple evaluations of existing components to the design and analysis of complete systems".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Pacamor Kubar Bearings
- take a look at Quality systems meet aerospace standards
which says: "Pacamor Kubar Bearings joins a select list of national and international aerospace companies that have registered to AS9100".
Take a look also at the news release from Hughes, Machine aids fine spring manufacture,
as well as GBP 1 million automation contract signed from SP Technology,
