‘Rolling Elements’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from
Q-Sys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from
PCB Piezotronics: "The Aerospace and Defense division of PCB Piezotronics has introduced the Model 165B02 charge output pressure sensor to measure the internal ballistics of sporting, police and military shot guns.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Phoenix Inspection Systems
- take a look at Robot to inspect nozzle welds in nuclear reactors
which says: "A EUR1.4m (GBP1.3m) research and development project aims to develop a lightweight robot for the automated inspection of nozzle welds in nuclear reactors. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Nexans, Subsea cable avoids aerial power line construction,
as well as Variohm supplies position sensors in open housings from Variohm Eurosensor,
and HBM torque flange has measuring range from 200Nm from HBM GmbH.
